To Dem “Leaders”: Mike Johnson, his Republican colleagues have abdicated & abandoned their jobs. You are majority. Gavel the damned House to order, swear in Grijalva, pass a budget. Deny Drumpf any authority. Impeach him. Get a spine. Be useful. Enough moaning & groaning. Represent the People!

Fairly serious lie by omission here where they kinda gloss over the part where a race science nut leaked this to them because he thought it would hurt Mamdani.

My LGBTQ friends knew I wasn't going to miss the most bigoted decision from this court. In case you missed it, Sam Alito's opinion in the "bigots are afriad of picture books" case is one of the most homophobic screeds ever from the SCOTUS.

Mamdani: "I asked Dems, who did you vote for any why? I heard from them again and again -- 'I voted for Trump bc I could afford things that are now out of my reach.' Ultimately when I asked them what it would take to bring them back to the D Party, they said a relentless focus on an economic agenda"

San Francisco DA Brooke Jenkins is collaborating with ICE. She uses a federal program called All Hands On Deck to make an end-run around our sanctuary status and passes low-level offenders to ICE.

At the SF #TeslaTakedown there were 2 MAGA Monsters. Escorted/protected by at least 8 on duty SFPD. I witnessed the monsters thank the cops. Why are we paying for Thug Protection from peaceful protest?

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.

It should be very clear to every Senate Democrat that any vote for Cloture will also be considered a vote for the bill.
People aren’t going to be tricked with procedural games.
They know exactly what is going on.
