Rs are trying to push thru the โ€œSAVE Actโ€ creating a bureaucratic nightmare for new voters (eg college students), married women, & voters trying to re-register (after being wrongly purged by the GOP) or trying to fix their registration if GOP operatives switch it w/o their consent (as has happened).

Related and important! They are attacking elections on multiple fronts.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

What Democrats want: a plaque in the U.S. Capitol to honor the January 6 officers. What Republican senators want: a personal payout of millions of dollars because they were investigated for involvement in January 6.

Any Democrat who "trusts" notoriously deceitful Republicans to keep their word on an ACA vote deal is too naive/stupid to be in office. Let's fix that next time they are up for election. #PrimaryTheIdiots

Know this, @schumer.senate.gov โ€” if you cave, we will not rest until you are primaried and wrested from your seat. When kids on SNAP arenโ€™t being fed, weโ€™re even more hungry for justice.

I don't know maybe it's just me but it seems like kind of a stretch to reopen the government on the basis of a pinky swear from people who LIE ALL THE FUCKING TIME ABOUT EVERYTHING

Dems backed Trump into a corner where heโ€™s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing itโ€™s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave. It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

Josh Marshall@joshtpm.bsky.social

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Have R senators? (Like me?) Call Schumerโ€™s office to tell him you will never donate to another D senate campaign again as long as heโ€™s Senate leader. Tell him this deal is a shameful joke and a betrayal. (202) 224-6542

I just did this and if nothing else it was cathartic. I said I would make it my lifeโ€™s mission to make sure thereโ€™s a primary challenger for any D involved in this deal, itโ€™s fucking embarrassing.

Chuck Schumer doing what he does best: folding to Trumpโ€™s authoritarian regime and failing the American people. Youโ€™d think after last week, heโ€™d understand the moment weโ€™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.

Okay @schumer.senate.gov, now itโ€™s coming for your state. Are you going to help Trump fund his government, with a deal that he will violate and use to attack your constituents?

Trump threatens to withhold federal funding from NY if NYC elects Mamdani. An impeachable offense for any other president in any other era. In this one itโ€™s just another Monday.

Mail-in voting is vital to ensuring people can exercise their right to vote, especially those with disabilities and transportation challenges. President Trump's attempts to discredit mail-in voting and voting machines are designed to undermine elections where he doesn't like the results.

These Americans served with honor for more than a decade. Put their lives on the line. Trump fired them, just for being who they are-and now is denying retirement benefits our nation promised them for their service. Treating troops this way is dishonorable, unfair, & harmful to national security.

My book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT was published in 2020. It has the Trump/Epstein court files in it and a history of their joint transnational mafia ties. For five years, I have heard from former Trump voters who said this book -- specifically the Epstein documents -- changed their minds about him.
