For someone who criticized Trump for maybe being the American Hitler, Vance sure is trying to position himself to be the American Hitler when Trump is gone.

Yeah, that’s not exactly sticking her neck out for a substantive issue, though. We’ll see how she spends her political capital.

I do wonder what substantive goals Spanberger would use a mandate to pursue. Moderation and bipartisanship seem to be her strongest principles. Besides reproductive healthcare and fair elections, what will she fight for? (Real question.)

@kaine.senate.gov People can come together & donate to food banks to help feed their neighbors when SNAP is delayed. But when affordable health insurance is ripped away, we can’t just rally to help each other. You pulled a birthright-for-pottage exchange. SMH.

Was the surrender last night really about assuring the billionaire and corporate donor class that elected Dems won’t rock their boat—despite the Mamdani win, blue wave, and 7 million protesters? A Sister Souljah moment, in a sense, throwing its base under the bus?

Honed over the years (not ‘honestly’).

Not what he heard from this Virginian today. (His phone lines were shut down last night.) Sadly, he’s a master of wasting leverage and losing negotiations, honestly over the years. I simply cannot trust him in a tough fight. He folds for SNAP, not even trying to defend things like the constitution.

Next they'll build her a Pablo Escobar-style private prison, maybe even with its own zoo.

If Schumer can’t hold Dems together, he needs to go. If you do t push for that, it’s because you are surrendering without admitting it. Kaine & retiring senators give you cover to vote no because you’re up for re-election. You’re betraying your constituents like me. Shame on you!

I know you’re up for re-election next year. I hope you’re doing this on principle. Unfortunately Kaine doesn’t have to face voters again for 5 years and he’s selling us out. I’m furious.

This is surrender, after millions voted just Tuesday to fight for what’s right, just weeks after the largest protest in US history.
While the GOP torches the constitution, the rule of law, and basic human rights, you won’t even stand strong for affordable healthcare? Shame on you!

Rolling over while the Trump Admin guts research funding & ties it to anti-DEI (racist) loyalty oaths is doing truly irreparable harm. Little gestures won’t make up for that.

The increased frequency of his constituent emails suggest he’s feeling pretty vulnerable… as he should. Too bad he relies on dishonest GOP talking points. It’s insulting.

So, did the Giants’ docs really screw up his back? And the front office ghosted him? Really bad look for Posey & the team. Not good for attracting free agent talent.

@wittmanwatch.bsky.social What is Rob, Vice Chair of the Armed Services Committee, doing about this? He needs to hear from us constituents. It’s his constitutional duty to oversee this & keep the administration accountable.

We need to persuade the vast majority of Americans not to hate people who are different and just want to live their lives. We have to cultivate compassion in our communities. Not give in to whatever the vast majority wants.

What an inspiration. You hear about the occasional 14 year old in grad school and all, but never this. Which grade is the raccoon in?

He pitched his first (only?) complete game last year for the Giants. But he should definitely go out there for the 9th!

Good. Fight for more than just the ACA subsidies. There’s a republic that needs saving from a fascist takeover that doesn’t wait for the next election.
