The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.
 
An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

This you @schumer.senate.gov ? You the guy with the “guts” to do exactly what Trump wants?

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

I’m calling for new leadership in the Democratic Party. So many democrats want to do the right thing, but leadership is stopping them with the unspoken threat of refusing to give them leadership positions down the road. NEW DEM LEADERSHIP NOW!! #NewDemLeadership

@aoc.bsky.social — can you primary @schumer.senate.gov so we can get rid of him? What an absolute turd.

President Trump says rates of pediatric cancer are way up, but his incompetent fanatics on DOGE fired my guest tonight, Dr. Lauren McGee, a remarkable pediatric cancer researcher who was sacked from NIH as part of Musk’s Valentine’s Day onslaught.

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:

This is what happens when we let people like #rfkjr in charge and we take away the authority and respect from the CDC. @altcdc.bsky.social

Cutting funding for cancer research won’t help families, it will hurt them and the progress we’ve made to find lifesaving cures. Make no mistake, slashing this critical funding will mean people won’t get the treatments they need and workers will lose their jobs.

@fetterman.senate.gov is at it again.
On Wednesday, the day after Mr. Schumer urged the caucus to unite in opposition to the Trump appointees, just two Democrats broke ranks and voted to confirm Eric Turner as housing secretary: Senators John Fetterman of Pennsylvania and Peter Welch of Vermont.

Trump and Musk’s attacks on the civil service—from air traffic controllers to food and drug inspectors—aim to destroy Congressional power, which is the people's power.

The real “Fork in the Road” is between democracy and autocracy. Don’t quit on American democracy.

I feel like @katieporteroc.bsky.social would be doing something if she were our senator. She would at least be making some noise.

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM.

We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building.

Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

Correct. It’s really more of a hijacking than a coup.
This is not just a coup and a Constitutional crisis. It is a national security catastrophe for the United States from which there is no assurance we will ever fully recover. Not hyperbole. If foreign enemies had landed troops on our shores it’s unlikely they would’ve done as much damage as fast.
