Republicans have and always will be in the pockets of big business at the expense of the people they are supposed to represent. The sad part is the very same sick farmers will undoubtedly turn out in the next election to re elect these vampires
TODAY: 5 Senate Republicans helped Senator John Stevens pass his bill to protect giant foreign pesticide corporations from sick farmers through Judiciary committee

“These are the times that try men souls: the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country. But he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered,”
The Crisis, Thomas Paine
One in four Illinoisans is enrolled in Medicaid.
It's impossible to overstate the devastating impact cuts would have on our working families.
Republicans want to kick off millions who need lifesaving care just to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy.
This speaks volumes…
REPORTER: “Is it time for new leadership in the Senate?”
HAKEEM JEFFRIES: “Next question.”
Jeffries could have just said, no, but he didn’t.
STEP DOWN CHUCK

The provision of the 14th amendment that the Supreme Court unanimously wrote out of the constitution existed for a reason. Its drafters knew what would happen if you allowed insurrectionists back into power.
Chuck Schumer is caving to Trump and the Republicans.
He is a weak man who is not the leader needed for these moments.
It's a disgrace and the Dems need to get rid of him if they ever hope to win an election again.
The second Al Green was dragged out, another Democrat should’ve stood up.
Then another. And another. And another.
Disrupt. Make them throw every Democrat out.
Holding signs? Wow. Way to dig deep.
We’re with Al Green.
Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.
French Senator Claude Malhuret:
"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."
Wait!...What?...D☭Иald TЯ☭M₽ Pussies out and backdowns from his tariffs?
No one saw that coming (By no one I mean everyone)
D☭Иald TЯ☭M₽...All taint and no balls
Trump, who has ejected the Associated Press from White House events because they won't call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America & who today called for criminalizing student speech at protests claims to have brought back free speech in America
Lindsey Graham is the definition of a weak, sniveling, gutless opportunist — an unprincipled political weather vane who grovels before power with embarrassing desperation. A hollow man with no convictions, no integrity, and no spine, shifting his loyalties whenever it serves his personal interests.
This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.
America,
This is our Germany 1933 moment.
Decide who the f*ck you're gonna be, what you stand for, what you want your legacy to be—and how you are going to respond.
This is beyond party, beyond country.
This is about our collective humanity.

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.
A set of countries hates us; another is bewildered/dismayed/horrified; a third group is laughing at us; and the last group is working the angles to fleece us by flattering the weak-minded senile dope who occasionally shows up at the White House to sign stuff. NOBODY respects us.
