UPDATE: Now that 8 Senate Dems folded to Trump—Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds.
What? Moving goal posts? Lucy and the football? Who Could Have Seen This Coming??
This is why you don't back down from a bully! My God! My kingdom for a spine for Democrats.

If you are one of the almost 100 Dems who voted to honor the guy who said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake,
don’t bother asking Black people to vote for you, donate to you or canvass for you next year.
Don’t bother.
Please.
And don’t be shocked if you get a primary opponent.

Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who chose to break into an unauthorized area during an insurrection against the repeated warnings of law enforcement. She ignored those warnings and got killed through no one's fault but her own.
She was a traitor. She doesn't deserve full military honors.

Still watching @booker.senate.gov on CSPAN. Take a moment to watch him speaking between 9-9:30 this morning. Absolutely spot on
Thank you @booker.senate.gov
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Sending up gratitude for the judges AND, more importantly, the lawyers who are willing to fight for the rule of law.
As of Friday, there have been 46 cases in which federal judges have blocked Trump policies.
The rulings in those cases have come from 39 different judges appointed by 5 different presidents (of both parties) to 11 different district courts across 7 different circuits.
Maybe it's not the judges?

Hey @change.org Please add BlueSky to your options for sharing petitions, and please DIVEST from twitter and Meta!
Let’s continue to raise our voices. I signed this because Schumer has abdicated his responsibility to the People, and we’re not going to sit back and sit with our anger.
"Mr. Schumer's stated approach of waiting for Trump to 'screw up' and continue this inexplicable embrace of the slippery slope is wholly inadequate and an astonishing failure of leadership."

AOC slammed Mike Johnson, saying: “You run the government. If you have the votes, then go ahead. If you need Democrats, then you need to negotiate with Democrats. Those are your two options. Blaming someone else because your shoes are untied isn’t one.”

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

@repkamlagerdove.bsky.social More of this please!
Rep. Kamlager-Dove is good at this!
There’s a lot of illegal sh*t going on.
So I asked my colleagues on @democrats-judiciary.house.gov to help explain some of the Trump Administration’s illegal actions in this edition of “Is this sh*t legal?”

Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”

With Sweeping Executive Orders, Trump Tests Local Control of Schools
The orders seek to encourage “patriotic education” and restrict discussions about racism and gender by threatening to withdraw federal funding. But schools are often resistant to change.
