Is it any surprise that the party that gave you this (see below) is the same party that doesn’t have the spine to not capitulate in the 11th fucking hour?

A leader would not have lost eight colleagues tonight. This happened because you let it happen or because you’ve totally lost control of the caucus in one of the most important moments since you’ve been Democratic leader. Either way, it’s on you. You need to step down. We need someone who can lead.

These 8 useless Democratic Senators are all wealthy and have feathered themselves a lovely retirement nest. They don't need to be in these positions anymore. They can amble away into the privileged nothingness that defines their spinelessness and lack of courage. Demand more and better, folks.

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not. If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

They really cannot be giving it up for a promise of a vote. Utterly foolish. They only have a 'concept of a plan' and won't even swear in Adelita Grijalva. These guys just stood around and let Trump have his public coup on Jan 6th. Just mind boggling how stupid dems are being right now.

Tim Kaine is a fucking coward. There is no excuse to support a deal that gives Dems nothing but a promise of a vote on healthcare.

Weak, feckless, spineless, corporatist, MAGA-Lite democrats capitulate when they had all the leverage they were ever going to have. I’d say it’s unbelievable but this is who they are, and this is why their approval rating is down the drain. What weak “leaders” we have. Absolutely pathetic. 🤢🤮

Fuck Chuck Schumer. Fuck Chuck Schumer. Fuck Chuck Schumer. Fuck Chuck Schumer.

In future psychology text books, this will be used to instruct how a narcissist feels when someone else gets all the attention

Platner. Out. Now. No. Nazi. Tattoos. This is not complicated.

@grahamformaine.bsky.social time to drop out my man. You done fucked up big time. Maybe you can run as a republican. I hear they kinda like nazis and racists.

Nobody wants to send this dipshit to jail or hit him with a broomstick. They have just lost faith in his judgment and don't want him to be a United States Senator. It's not a punishment. There are hundreds of millions of people who don't get to be United States Senators and that's fine for them.

Today in Politics, Bulletin 210. I try to make them all really good, but this is better than most. Everything you need to know about what happened today in politics. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

You want to explain why you voted to "honor the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk"?

@whipkclark.bsky.social why’d you vote in favor of honoring Charlie Kirk?

What a bunch of pathetically spineless cowards.

That goes for you @whipkclark.bsky.social. You do not represent the 5th district of Massachusetts well. Hoping you get primaries for this egregious cowardice.

Everything wrong with the Democratic Party in a nutshell. 95 House Democrats (including Jeffries!) just voted to honor the life & legacy of Charlie Kirk. Only 58 voted no. 38 voted present. clerk.house.gov/evs/2025/rol...

Insane. Why the fuck is The Washington Post mentioning Biden in a story about Hegseth’s idiocy?!

Any takers on whether Hegseth goes on a total bender tonight and gets back into alcoholism? Assuming he got away from the bottle in the first place.

And the award for sanewashed headline of the week goes to…*drumroll please*…CNN. Take a look at this gem: www.cnn.com/2025/03/24/p...

@democrats.org @schumer.senate.gov you’re all so spineless and weak. Way to show absolutely zero leadership and backbone at arguably one of the most pivotal moments in history.

@schumer.senate.gov A week or 2 of suffering through a government shutdown is nothing compared the lifetime of suffering this CR will cause. Do NOT vote yes. Once this is done; power handed to 1 branch, cuts to lifeline services, agencies gutted, buildings sold...It CANNOT BE UNDONE!

@schumer.senate.gov to sign off on this horrible budget and avoid a shutdown is a massive mistake, one of the biggest political errors in our history. We will not have a Democratic Party or a democracy in six months if you keep this passive response going.

The Dems response with their little signs is woeful, embarrassing.

I never thought I’d see a party run on “decorum” to the point of absolute impotence, but I can’t even pretend I’m surprised anymore.

Another perfect encapsulation

What a perfect encapsulation

No, Democrats, these little auction signs aren't it. You're acting like Wes Anderson characters who don't understand that they're in a Tarantino movie.

Why are the democrats so consistently weak? Bringing little signs to the SOTU. Please. You need to TAKE THE GLOVES OFF. What a lame, pathetic display.

Susan Collins can go eat a bag of dicks

Fuck Susan Collins. Tired of her “concerned” ass.

Ladies and gentlemen, the 47th President of the United States. ( ° ͜ʖ͡°)

"It was a Roman salute" is an updated version of "actually, the Buddhists also used swastikas." If you are using it post-1945, you know very well that the association has changed.

A Nazi salute Call it out. Say what it was. Stop being coy everyone. Call out what they are doing already

Yup. The Dems have a massive fetish for losing. They get off on self sabotage!

Don’t worry, he’ll just deny that fact and the average TikTok user will believe him. Get me the fuck out of this shitty timeline.

One more epic act of weakness from Biden before the door hits him on the way out. Just embarrassing how dumb he and the dems look for this.

Public service announcement.

I can't imagine having all that money and still being unable to afford a spine.

Oh hell yes, let's absolutely get rid of the FDIC. Would love to have re learn all the lessons of the New Deal again. www.wsj.com/finance/regu...

Say it for those in the back!

I'm reading that Mark Zuckerberg is genuinely spooked by the rapid growth of Bluesky. Sounds pretty good.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of the sane, kind-hearted, and intelligent folks who are all a part of this growing and thriving Bluesky community. I’m grateful for having this platform.
