@Choseusernam @JStein_WaPo Or prove me wrong. I'd love to see them do exactly what they promised, it's why I voted for them. But if the Senate fails to deliver for Joe, they should know they're not sitting on Obama love. This is business for me and many others, it's not emotional.
@Choseusernam @JStein_WaPo It's been a few weeks and they still have no gavels. Weak AF all by itself. Behind the scenes backpedaling on stimmies two weeks in, while publicly claiming Big and Bold means you've oversold your hand to the public. They're gonna have to own that. I'm not ignoring it.
@DrRonnesia I don't need a new party. I need reps that move like they understand who our opps are in real life. Bipartisanship w/ bad faith GOP is not what I voted for. I voted for snatching the gavel back from Mitch, righting wrongs, and an equitable redistribution of the damn pie!
@asmoul89 @JStein_WaPo They're acting like they've got the next cycle on lock. They don't. This is an ongoing negotiation. If they fail to wield the power we gave them, and deliver the financial goods they promised, they will lose. It's that simple. People are tired of being hustled. Put up or shut up.
You should never have to fear for your life at work.
You should never have to be constantly retraumatized at work.
You should never have to beg for accountability at work.
All of that must be true in Congress too. Pass H.Res 25 to investigate and expel these GOP members.
Message to Sen Schumer- take control of the Senate committees- right now. The public voted to give Dems control & is in no mood to hear about organizing rules or delays. Nor do we want to hear from Lindsey Graham again. He can go be head of a “living w/ blackmail” self-help group
Y’all stop invalidating @AOC’s experiences because you aren’t hearing about the experiences of other members.
Everyone deals with trauma differently, her stories are validating for so many of us with similar experiences and she is showing people that vulnerability is strength.
Dear @Sen_JoeManchin
It's NOT fucking about you asshole.
It's about the families that can't feed their kids and need help RIGHT NOW.
I know you love being the man in the middle of both parties and playing one against the other, but its a fucking empty existence you parasite.
One of the many important points @AOC made on IG tonight was that without accountability, when given the opportunity, Cruz and Hawley will do it again. She’s absolutely right.
.@AOC now on Cruz et al.: "We are not safe with people who hold positions of power who are willing to endanger the lives of others if they think it'll score a political point."
Tonight, with courage, @AOC shared her terror during the insurrectionist assault on democracy. It could have been a bloodbath. This isn’t about political differences. It’s about humanity and justice. Those saying “move on” are complicit in condoning & abetting domestic terrorism
@donwinslow@RochesterNYPD Rochester Use of Force policy: "Officers shall use the least amount of force reasonably necessary to effectively bring an incident under control while protecting the lives of the officer or others." Is the policy a suggestion? Can officers gratuitously choose violence? QTNA
@SenSchumer Is that going to happen this year orrr, are yall gonna keep your voters waiting while you entertain the Senators who got us here??!! If you plan on playing Mother may I, the answer will always be no! I mean, have you met the Republicans?! Yall wanted the power but scared to act.
