"Dominant predator force."
Ogles: "It's important that we have a stake in Greenland, that they are quite frankly a protectorate of the US. They've been in relationship with Denmark - that needs to end. We've spilled more blood protecting Greenland than the Danes... we are the dominant predator force in the Western Hemisphere"

A leader would not have lost eight colleagues tonight. This happened because you let it happen or because you’ve totally lost control of the caucus in one of the most important moments since you’ve been Democratic leader. Either way, it’s on you. You need to step down. We need someone who can lead.
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis

For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

We will keep fighting

Schumer and Durbin need to be out this week. This. Week.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
so currently defectors are:

Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

See, Senator Padilla didn't identify himself. I mean, other than clearly stating, "I'm Senator Alex Padilla". But, hell, if we allow this, the next thing you know there'll be armed thugs grabbing people off the streets and refusing to identify themselves, and we can't allow that....wait, what?

Wondering why the ICE toy soldiers run around with masks on when they're snatching people off the street? Is it just more of this fake tough guy performative bullshit the Right gets off on? Is there some sort of rationalization they fall back on?

Um, this strikes me as a pretty big thing. POTUS basically telling the SCOTUS to stick it.
