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.
Deal to end government shutdown in reach
At least 10 Senate Democrats are expected to support a key procedural motion.

Hey @schumer.senate.gov, a 'promise' from Republicans? WTAF? Are you a child? Even you can't be that naïve. Don't you dare do your kabuki theater with hundreds of millions of lives hanging in the balance.
If you can't play hardball, resign. Immediately.

After CDC shooting, its employees turn their anger to RFK Jr. and Trump

School vouchers are a scam to send taxpayer money to private religious schools. Vouchers are also a violation of church and state.

She hasn’t even said she’s running—and they’re already telling her she can’t. That’s how deep the bias runs. The rules change before she even steps on the field.
From Politico: "One former senior Harris staffer put it even more bluntly: “I don’t think she can win the Democratic primary, so therefore, if I was advising her, I would say, ‘Don’t run in 2028.’” I'm guessing one of those Biden holdover staffers who didn't like her from the beginning.

I expect nothing from Republicans. Meanwhile, for Democrats I donated, knocked doors, made phone calls, fundraised, and registered people to vote Blue because they promised to fight for working families. So yes, I will absolutely call out Democrats because I'm not in a cult and I demand justice.
Yeah I’m pretty tired of Dems getting called out constantly and Republicans getting the low-bar pass.

Miami just canceled its November election & pushed it to 2026. No public vote, just canceled.
Mayor Suarez & Joe Carollo get to stick around an extra year.
This feels like a power grab. If one city can delay elections for “participation,” what’s to stop others from doing it to silence opposition?
