Uh I hate to break it to Slow House but you can't pardon state crimes, and all of the fake elector prosecutions involve state offenses.
The language of this pardon is extremely broad.

It includes “all United States citizens for conduct relating to the advice, creation, organization, execution, submission, support, voting, activities, participation in, or advocacy for or of any slate or proposed slate of Presidential
electors…”

I wish on those Dems all of the pain, suffering, and fear they are ushering in for Americans.

“We’ve been kinda fighting then we got tired and scared and stopped fighting, so you’re on your own. Sucks for you.”
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis

For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

We will keep fighting

We have updated our call script so you can let your Senators know how you feel about this (TERRIBLE) deal they just advanced...

👉🏽 5calls.org/issue/federa...
1) Who put you in power?
2) Who are you accountable to?
3) How do we get rid of you?

I think tonight shows why “moderate to win elections” is a real risk

the big divide in the Dem caucus, as many have noted, has been less moderate vs progressive than fight versus don’t fight

but it’s not a coincidence that basically everyone in the “don’t fight” camp is a moderate

Expel the yes votes from the party and cut off all their access to fundraising, then remove Schumer from leadership. Anything less is mealy-mouthed coward bullshit.
As this vote moves to the House, I stand with Democratic leadership as they refuse to rubber stamp the full-scale Republican assault on Americans’ health care and I am proud of the majority of Senate Democrats who opposed this vote.

It was totally working. They were going to have to blow up the damned filibuster.
Sen. Angus King on why Democrats caved: "It wasn't working."

They got cute and used Senators not up for re-election next year or ones that were retiring for the surrender vote.

So here's the metric we use instead:

If you aren't pushing for a new Democratic leader in the Senate *immediately,* you're out on your ass.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

The fact that none of the 8 Dems are up for re-election in 2026 is a pretty good sign @schumer.senate.gov engineered the surrender

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

Kinda funny the Dems did the shutdown largely as a show for the base and now people are madder than before lol

Truly amazing that any time the democrats have to bite the bullet and do something that ruins countless lives, there's always *just* enough votes to get it done, but if there is a vote on something that would actually improve people's lives, they are always one vote short. Crazy how that happens.
Not too late to grow a spine and swap.
What was the point of a 40 day shutdown if you're just gonna cave and get nothing from it?

Why did everyone have to suffer if you were just gonna fucking quit?

The Democrats are not capitulating because they are scared of Trump they’re capitulating because actually countering fascism in Ways that would stop it would also impact their money flow and the wealth of those at the highest level of the economy and business they represent.

With Cornyn MIA & still not voting, votes can still be changed. An effective leader would be burning up phone lines trying to flip one of the Dems who voted yes to kill this deal.

So, what’s Schumer doing right now?

I am JUST old enough to have caught a taste of the Before Times as a young adult, and yeah, I have pretty much universally found that under-30 LGBTs *literally do not believe you* when you tell them how significant the turnaround has been, and HOLY HELL does it leave me frustrated at times.
