We are waiting and listening for the recall…
86 time.
Chuck Schumer can be removed as Senate Minority Leader by a majority vote of the Senate Democratic caucus. A new vote can be forced if 20% of the caucus (currently 10 senators) calls for one.

I was going to write a piece for tomorrow, but after a crazy week, I really needed the day off. I will be back on Monday with my usual weekend rundown. A big thanks to the Democracy Docket subscriber community for its support. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

Trump wants health insurance premiums to spike right after he allowed medical debt to adversely affect people’s credit ratings, while rolling out 50 year mortgages.
But he loves you, MAGA. That’s why he’s building that ballroom for you.

A new Trump political appointee watched a Cuban dance company perform and said. "Wow, they’re so talented they could be on a cruise ship." One of the dance professionals fired by the Trumpers said, "Even to this day, I cannot decide if he was mocking us or complimenting us."

The silence of congressional Republicans to all the Trump corruption - from his disgusting pardons, to the UAE crypto money, to the Qatari jet, and the ballroom, should be used against all of them in midterms along with their silence on tariffs which has made things unaffordable.

ACA subsidies must be extended in the CR. Without that Democrats must not even consider compromising. Mike Johnson has already said he makes no promises about ACA extension even if Dems allow cloture in Senate & move the bill forward. youtu.be/-t0eiJN86Z4

Glad. Thank you.
Wish #Schumer would do the right thing for the Dem Party and resign leadership. Even though it will probably fall to establishment Dem Klobuchar, as I believe that’s oligarch/corp/Schumer pic.
Think AOC will primary him and win, as she’s leading him by double digits in polls now.

It’s exactly like when Putin makes a ceasefire deal & reneges on it every time. Unless someone holds them accountable the deal doesn’t matter.

They should also continue to fight because whatever they agree to will not be upheld by the regime.
The regime illegally reappropriated funds approved by the LAST Congress, and then ignored court orders telling them to stop.
This is fascism.
