Let me be clear: if Chuck Schumer caves tonight, that will be the formal end of his career in Democratic politics.
The new generation coming into leadership has no tolerance for cowards.
Chuck Schumer doing what he does best: folding to Trump’s authoritarian regime and failing the American people. You’d think after last week, he’d understand the moment we’re in and the leverage he has. He must be replaced as leader immediately, and the out-of-touch corporate old guard needs to go.
Dear Democratic Senators: if you vote for this selling out of the ACA it will be the end of your careers. Depend upon it. You are there to defend this country against Trump and the fascists, not collude with them. If you become Quislings, you will forever REMAIN Quislings
Americans can’t afford this deal.
Democrats can fight AND win — just like we did in our budget battle in Michigan.
A promise isn’t a deal. Don’t settle.
To @klobuchar.senate.gov and @smith.senate.gov: Rumors circulating that Dem senators will surrender on the shutdown. We didn't elect you to give in on health care. Don't give in - stand up for your people.
This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week.

America's religion is capitalism. Money is the God and the color green even trumps the color white.
So many Americans are going to suffer deeply due to Trump’s economic policies.
Meanwhile, they're throwing Great Gatsby parties.
They're underestimating people's rage.
Absolutely true
As a resident of Saint Paul, I want to remind all my fellow Minnesotans who live in this demagogue's district that our state only does well when we act out of decency, respect an support for each other. This embarrassment needs to be bounced out of office ASAP.
New Column: A clear majority of America hates this guy. The voters' verdict is in. He's failing, and Democrats need to keep saying it and saying it and saying it. newrepublic.com/article/2027... via @newrepublic.com
I thought Stephen Miller was the new Goebbels, but now he's acting like Albert Speer.
Keep telling yourself that, Gramps - your time will come.
Just enough to pay for the ballroom. What a coincidence.
The university founded by Thomas Jefferson throws away 200 years of integrity to give in to just the type of president Jefferson hated.

The news media have normalized a president brazenly lying every day. Decent people are appalled, and that should include journalists, but instead the media have accepted lying as part of the game.
The depth of moral depravity in our times from RFK Jr. to Russell Vought, from JD Vance to John Roberts, is astounding. We shrink from talking in moral terms at our own peril. This is evil in our midst. Not just policy disagreements, poltics as usual.
Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?"
Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."
there's so many layers of fraud and abuse in this story that "someone might have been trying to log into the NLRB's systems with a valid Doge username and password from russia" doesn't even make it into the first 5,000 words
I'm starting to understand how the people in Jonestown felt
Remember: the tariffs, the arrests of dissidents by people in masks, shutting down USAID and ending foreign aid, attempts to sweep security lapses under the rug: NONE of this is necessary.
It's all to divert us from their attempts to privatize government functions and enrich the wealthy. #Trump
What. Is. This. Garbage.
Thanks I needed another reason to dislike Cousins
If you didn’t watch the State of the Union last night, just watch this. Guaranteed—Trump’s followers ate it up, so be ready with the facts when it spreads.
Rachel Maddow ran a clinic on Trump’s lies last night.

If you work at the Washington Post, now is the time to resign. You’re a part of this now.
They have no answer for what the oligarchs are doing to America.
The disgraceful behaviour in the White House is not about Trump or Vance.
It is about the complicity of the entire political class of the United States and the American media.
It is about the very soul of America.
They either stand up for democracy or they stand for tyranny.
The world is watching.
Can you imagine if Barron advocated for the poor who will suffer throughout the world as passionately as he railed against feminism in "Star Wars"? www.ncronline.org/opinion/ncr-...
