This morning, the federal government turned the full force of the Department of Homeland Security against a sitting member of Congress for the offense of disagreeing with the White House.

The path to citizenship should not be weaponized against anyone, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American who swore an oath to this country — the same one that I took.

The promise of citizenship should not be contingent on someone agreeing with the federal government.

Also, rural homelessness is SURGING, but that fact doesn’t fit the cities-are-hellscape narratives the Right/GOP push. So we barely hear about it. My friend and co-author @paulwaldman.bsky.social and I discuss this in White Rural Rage.

It seems like identifiable members of the Supreme Court actively helping one political party to choose its voters to maximal electoral advantage should be a bigger scandal

And shame the Republicans in Congress who privately denounce trump but then publicly support him. Their names should be exposed. There's no norms now. No law says their privacy should be protected while they allow people to be murdered.

Raskin: If this were to pass, this astounding provision would give eight Republican senators a personal payday of at least a million dollars each, paid for by the U.S. Taxpayers at a time when we are throwing millions of people off of their health care…

They told us we don't know how the Senate works and that what they were doing wasn't working. They talked down to us and then just gave up. Their arrogant and feckless messaging reflects their ineptitude. We need fighters with vision and a plan of action and not doormats with slick marketing.

You can't expect us to just shrug our shoulders and move on if there are no consequences. I'm a big fan of yours, Senator Whitehouse, but we came out huge for the party, we've protested like never before, and in response we've been betrayed and gaslighted by our own people. Schumer must go.

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU. YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

You absolutely have to kick out Schumer as Leader. Democrats that were truly against this vote must come together and vote him out. You should replace him. If you don't want it, then someone who will actually fight should do so. There must be immediate consequences to this betrayal.

Went to repost this and then depressingly saw it was from 8 months ago. This is still true, and I am now convinced it will remain true until there are successful primary challenges nationwide to the "roll over and play dead" Dems.
