These motherfuckers! PLEASE call your House representatives and demand they vote NO on this piece of shit legislation. Not only is there this part but it would also require senators to be notified if they’re being investigated. So they can destroy evidence. No fucking way.

The legislation the House and Senate Republicans just voted on will have your tax dollars go to corrupt politicians conspiring to overturn an election. The corruption is staggering. Your healthcare costs, household expenses, & ability to make ends meet go up while Republicans enrich themselves.

As I said last night on MSNBC as the news broke that eight Senate Democrats were joining the GOP: This must be the end for Chuck Schumer as Senate Democratic leader.

Something I don't think we're talking about enough is in addition to all else, Chuck Schumer is also actively lying to the American people that he's not behind the surrender and approves entirely of it, despite how obvious it is, down to him grinning leaving the meeting last night.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.
The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

On top of refusing to fully fund SNAP during the shutdown, the Trump regime has:
-Cut $1 billion from USDA programs supporting food banks
-Enacted tariffs that have caused food prices to rise
-Made the largest cut to SNAP in history
-Canceled the annual food security survey
Shameful.

About an hour after Ellis entered this injunction, a group of agents, including Bovino, drove away from a Southwest Side gas station where they were confronted by protestors, and fired a round of pepper balls at a sedan that pulled up alongside their vehicle, reports @chicagotribune.com
