Look, I know we're all sick of hearing "if this had happened with any other president ..." but it's absolutely true and absolutely can't be forgotten.
For some reason, this nation gives this idiotic spoiled brat a free pass from things that would destroy the administration of any other person.

When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

Any Democratic senator not calling for Schumer to be removed as minority leader is complicit in this fiasco. Disgusting actions.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

It can't be overstated what an abject failure @schumer.senate.gov has been in confronting the crisis of fascism in America. All the people fighting, organizing, everything - all thrown out the window by this coward. Can't the @democrats.senate.gov for once have a fighter in leadership?

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

![In July, six former federal prosecutors for the District of Columbia sent a letter urging the Senate Committee on the Judiciary to reject Bove's nomination, referring to him as "the worst conceivable nominee" to be appointed for an indefinite judicial position.[52] The same month, more than seventy-five former state and federal judges wrote to the committee that Bove was disqualified on the basis of his "egregious record of mistreating law enforcement officers, abusing power, and disregarding the law itself". The judges expressed concern about Trump having nominated someone who had previously served as his personal lawyer and who might demonstrate "fealty" to Trump.[53] Other groups in opposition to his confirmation included the Society for the Rule of Law Institute[54] and the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights,[55] while Republican attorneys general from twenty states](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qgmxhrg6hmbydvzqa3dhcfeu/bafkreiaxnktprkynf6kgsgqn5ernyofbxszi453nrawjhan7uasa22jcg4@jpeg)
