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.

This is excellent and worth a watch and share. Tonight has been a turning point in our party. Those that don’t recognize that do not deserve the power voters awarded them.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

Trump’s all-out assault on the VA is a complete betrayal of our Veterans.
Mark my word. This is Republicans' plan all along—
Gut the VA, then push to privatize the Department so they can fund tax cuts for billionaires.
And our heroes will pay the price. apnews.com/article/vete...

a cloture vote for the way-harder-to-undo-than-an-executive-order federal anti-trans sports ban is now set for monday. that means there's more time to make calls.
no on cloture means it doesn't get a vote. the GOP needs 7 dems to advance it.
please call. there is *so* much evil downstream of this.

It's never been more important for the next generation to embrace public service —and the work that hundreds of SUNY students are doing through the Empire State Service Corps is helping New Yorkers.
I’m fighting right alongside them to do good things and make a positive difference.
