Great fucking job @schumer.senate.gov @schatz.bsky.social @fetterman.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov, @cortezmasto.senate.gov @shaheen.senate.gov. Tell me again how this was worth it, now that the GOP is laughing at you and planning to continue to abuse and humiliate you while destroying the US

this reminds me of the front offices of tanking sports teams, of all things, trying to bamboozle fan bases by talking about playing the long game and saying "this is The Least Bad Option" while showing no evidence of a plan other than "lose 110 games a season for the foreseeable future"

…this shit is real! It’s affecting people in profound ways! Instead of thinking about 2026, they should take a moment to dwell on the choices they have made. People will die. And they own this. It is their bed. They will lie in it. (And there’s a shit in the bed that they left there themselves.)
