It may seem like a minor point with all that is going on, but I am really annoyed as Schumer’s constituent that he is not hosting in person town halls and instead is going on a book tour, and none of the stops are in his state (correction noted).
100%. Like who the f*** really cares about his stupid book and making more money. These wealthy people have no flipping clue how the majority of us out here live.
At the first sign of trouble he will immediately drop his pants, bend over a chair and yell, “I am only doing it so Trump can be a stronger person. Please enjoy my capitulation.”
I’m in the same place when it comes to Dick Durbin. There’s no logical or legitimate reason for Durbin to have voted to give Trump/Musk more room to ruin the country.
Go to Chuck "Surrender" Shumer's book tour appearances to boo him and demand that he step down as Senate Minority Leader. Senate Democrats need a leader not a craven coward who refuses to use the little leverage that Denocrats have. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Sylvia, use this contact link to write out your concern if you're interested. It allowed me and others to complete even though not in his district. I think as "Minority Leader" (note the quotes around the title), he can't limit his contacts to only those in his district.
Well, the algorithms flagged "victims" as a bad word to be removed from websites. No wonder they need to cut back FEMA. What word WOULD they use to describe the so far 34 people killed in the Midwest/Southern storms? Will "unlucky corpses" pass the DEI test?
Indivisible is planning a nationwide protest on Saturday, April 5. Put it on your calendar and attend one near you! Or, if you can, attend the protest in Washington, DC.
The only way to stop this train wreck is to protest, in every town and city. Better late than never won’t cut it. We need to be prioritizing the fight, it’s worth everything we have.
'Zeldin said he is “driving a dagger through the heart of climate-change religion and ushering in America’s Golden Age”.' Wierd... I thought religion was protected in the US.
I guess we can REDACT all the stuff in the Bible about STEWARDSHIP for the home we were given by God, I suppose, since NONE of it matters as much as MONEY.
Send that "woke" stuff to the same place the GOP and white evangelicals want to send the Sermon on the Mount and the Ten Commandments...to oblivion.
CHURCH and JESUS have been solidly replaced with TRUMP and HATE.
(Even if you don't support a specific belief system, this is still really bad news.)
If this was late 18th century France I’d rate Scott Bessent’s odds of celebrating Christmas this year as poor. Marie Antoinette read the crowd better than he does.
We did not ALL trust these people. Those that did (and prevailed) are now learning their mistake. Most will never admit they made a mistake. Perhaps when they lose their job, their home, their ability to buy food, and their vote, perhaps THEN they will admit it at least to themselves.
Thank You Ron. Your tweet on Twitter was dead on and the orange baboon didn’t disappoint.
I think that things in this country are going downhill fast and protests that are happening across the world against Authoritarianism needs to happen here before it’s too late. I hope everyone who voted for this is happy. We warned and warned them and all they talked about were egg prices and “its Bidens fault.”
Republicans are spineless idiots. Most of them know what’s going on is wrong but won’t say boo.
He was right, Ron was right about coming for the judges.
We have 3 branches of government plus the free press (our 4th Estate)
Plus this week-end Trump closed down this week-end the Government sponsored VOA press.
They own 2 branches now, they have convinced millions and millions of people not to believe the press, that only leaves our 3rd branch of government to save us.
WE have to save ourselves and hit the streets, BIG TIME.
This is one of the worst days I've ever had. I feel like no one is really doing anything solid to stop these people and it isn't possible for one old lady to make that difference. I also just don't understand how there are so many evil people living in this country and just what they want America to look like. Once again, I sorely wish I could have moved to Canada 20 years ago when I wanted to.
Short answer - not much. Our air, water, soil are polluted now, soon to be exponentially worse. Our voting system and government for the people will be/are gone. Empathy, sympathy, safety net in this country are gone already. Only white. straight, males, that are in good health will have a life - the rest of us, we're part of the slave class they're establishing to serve their needs.
"For the first time in the 140-year history of the Gridiron Club Dinner, those gathered did not offer the traditional toast to the sitting U.S. president. Instead, leading members of the Washington press corps paid tribute to the First Amendment.

At the annual white-tie, off-camera and bipartisan dinner, where the guidance for jokes is to “singe, not burn,” a coldness marked the moment instead." (Politico)......
Trump is ignoring court orders. Republicans are going after judges. Apparently everyone in the military and DOJ have gone full fascist. I watched the history channel today about Hitler and the Reich. It's all very familiar. The audacity of Schumer going on book tour is too much.

Not his "district." He's a one of New York's two senators.
And his appearances will be in DC. Not his STATE.
I hope a democrat holds a town meeting near his district during the same time he’s doing his in DC

Yea...I don't think Chuck Schumer is reading the room very well. This book tour is not going to go well for him.
I hope not. Don't pre-order the book; don't purchase the book. Let if fail just as he failed us and the country.
I tried to call him but you can't leave a message since they are out of session.

Senator Murphy for senate minority leader
I thought that last vote.
Congress "didn't have the algorithms that Elon has". Come on! Congress could have hired a few forensic accountants to do that work.
What a small and pathetic person Trump is that he cheats at golf, everyone knows it, but he doesn't care. How embarrassing!
Well, I don't accept algorithms produced by the technobrats of Muskrat.
Well, the algorithms flagged "victims" as a bad word to be removed from websites. No wonder they need to cut back FEMA. What word WOULD they use to describe the so far 34 people killed in the Midwest/Southern storms? Will "unlucky corpses" pass the DEI test?
And apparently those boot licking ass-kissers don’t care if he cheats either.
He loves his gold-plated participation trophies. He is an addled old man.
"Addled?!" Sheri, he's a f*cking madman!
"algorithms" What utter bollocks. No, there was the Inspector Generals who actually found fraud and waste.
Musk's "algorithms" are a rigged to obtain the results trump wants. You can literally prove anything by skewing the numbers.
I just see that Japan is talking about putting a peacekeeping force in Ukraine. They have a good record against Russia.
Once again I appreciate these bulletins. If I missed something I inevitably find it here. Thanks.

It's time to take to the streets!

Read Macbeth.
I have.
Thank you.
If this was late 18th century France I’d rate Scott Bessent’s odds of celebrating Christmas this year as poor. Marie Antoinette read the crowd better than he does.
Isn't Scott Bessent the one who said something like, "American's do not desire cheap goods?" Wasn't that him? I think it was.
It was.
To Grassley, Gingrich, Flynn, Gill, Clyde, Crane and Musk... so you'll be impeaching Matthew Kacsmaryk too then, right??
They are no better than the fascists who wore brown uniforms and jack boots. The hypocrisy is mind numbing.
And the US Marshal Service has turned into the Gestapo.
Forcibly entering and Escorting DODGE's Nerd Reich into Agency offices they have no right to enter.
The US Marshal Service, who has a mandate to protect judges and enforce court orders, is now running around providing Gestapo muscle for DODGE.
Brilliant! We should all be calling it Dodge!
Whoops!
I should fix the typo, but on second thought I think I will leave it.
😛
I still like Dodgy the best, because it is so descriptive, but dodge is good too.
Dodgy is better!
I call them "Icky and the STOOGES".
But most people under about 60 have NO IDEA what that references.
(But Dr. Reich did! Rather, his representative LIKED my original post on this topic, so it can't be SO awful...)
This one made me sick. How the hell do you stop it when they're all in on it
Disgusting.
We all have to suffer because we trusted these people to protect us. Instead they cave.
We did not ALL trust these people. Those that did (and prevailed) are now learning their mistake. Most will never admit they made a mistake. Perhaps when they lose their job, their home, their ability to buy food, and their vote, perhaps THEN they will admit it at least to themselves.
Someone roused Grassley from his coffin? He'll, the man is either a vampire or a zombie, shambling into the Senate to spout more nonsense
Tales from the crypt
Thank you, Ron and Meidas for your unrelenting fight for the truth and our democracy!

Once again, I sorely wish I could have moved to Canada 20 years ago when I wanted to.
I'm another old lady who feels the same.
I don’t even know how to feel anymore. I am scared, I’m angry and I am so sad. What will be left of America for my children and my grandchildren?

I bet his book tour will be a disaster. Hope so. ✊😎
Wow that was super depressing.
