Donald Trump just congratulated Chuck Schumer on his decision to vote YES on the Republican CR.

@schumer.senate.gov , you are on the wrong side!

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

These are the same Senate Democrats who lectured the base for years about the importance of preserving the filibuster so it would still be available when Democrats were in the minority

Schumer has left social security & medicare on their death bed. It is only fitting that we issue his political future the same fate!

The Dem senators of yesterdays believe that we will just move on! Trump is a distraction. The most important threat has become Chuck Schumer and his inability to lead an opposition.

Chuck must go! And we must not move on until the party moves!

We need one Democratic Senator to show leadership and call on Chuck to step aside as leader.

This is not a quarrel! This is a betrayal!

If Schumer believes in his cloture vote so much he should vote yes and relinquish his leadership duties immediately!

HUGE and important.
Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.

"Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

Chuck Schumer must resign or be removed!

Dude is literally spreading Putin esk talking points about invading allies and the press is just treating it as normal.

This is the problem!
SHUT THE FUCK UP
Trump: "To be honest with you, Canada only works as a state. We don't need anything they have. As a state it would be one of the great states. This would be the most incredible country visually. If you look at a map, they drew an artificial line right through it."

Bernie Sanders: "I'm gonna vote no. I think the American people are sick and tired of Elon Musk, the richest guy in the world, running around, slashing Social Security, veterans programs. That Republicans are moving for massive tax breaks and cutting Medicaid ... you gotta draw a line."

Trump’s executive order shutting down DEI claims that recruiting diverse applicants “diminishes the importance of individual merit, aptitude, hard work, and determination.”

Donald Trump’s war on DEI isn’t about merit.

Boom there’s the message. Not “Robber Barron this isn’t 1950.

“Elon is stealing from the treasury…”
“Keep your hands off social security Elon….”
“Stop stealing peoples tax money Elon….”

Wait it’s been more than 24 hours and none of them have a question about that?
REPORTER: Would you demand from Putin to get out of the sovereign territory of Ukraine?

TRUMP: We're dealing right now on this subject. I don't want to spend a lot of time, 'cause we're here for another reason.

They can say they are “rolling back their diversity initiatives” but we cant say “They’re not hiring because we are black”

Racial gaslighting is insane.

The growing seizure of Black culture and popularization of Black appropriation is an evolution of slavery and colonization. Their ancestors needed to own our bodies and steal our lands; the descendants seek to own our talents and steal our spirit.

Resist & Reclaim ✨
