Let me be clear: if Chuck Schumer caves tonight, that will be the formal end of his career in Democratic politics.

Chuck Schumer doing what he does best: folding to Trump’s authoritarian regime and failing the American people. You’d think after last week, he’d understand the moment we’re in and the leverage he has. He must be replaced as leader immediately, and the out-of-touch corporate old guard needs to go.

Dear Democratic Senators: if you vote for this selling out of the ACA it will be the end of your careers. Depend upon it. You are there to defend this country against Trump and the fascists, not collude with them. If you become Quislings, you will forever REMAIN Quislings

Americans can’t afford this deal.
Democrats can fight AND win — just like we did in our budget battle in Michigan.
A promise isn’t a deal. Don’t settle.

America's religion is capitalism. Money is the God and the color green even trumps the color white.
So many Americans are going to suffer deeply due to Trump’s economic policies.
Meanwhile, they're throwing Great Gatsby parties.
They're underestimating people's rage.

The news media have normalized a president brazenly lying every day. Decent people are appalled, and that should include journalists, but instead the media have accepted lying as part of the game.
Trump brazenly lies: "We're cutting $1.7 trillion in this bill and you're not gonna feel any of it. Your Medicaid is left alone. It's left the same."

The depth of moral depravity in our times from RFK Jr. to Russell Vought, from JD Vance to John Roberts, is astounding. We shrink from talking in moral terms at our own peril. This is evil in our midst. Not just policy disagreements, poltics as usual.

Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

Remember: the tariffs, the arrests of dissidents by people in masks, shutting down USAID and ending foreign aid, attempts to sweep security lapses under the rug: NONE of this is necessary.
It's all to divert us from their attempts to privatize government functions and enrich the wealthy. #Trump
