THIS is why corporate Dems are being voted out.

Brittain@craigbrittain.com · 7h agoBreaking: HR 6500, which funds ICE, DHS and all other Trump regime programs until December, passes by voice vote with no opposition from Democrats or Republicans - and John Thune adds amendments - Chuck Schumer is present but does not object. The Senate will go on paid vacation on August 10th.
Here are the DEMOCRATS that are going to help us fix Trump's crimes ? The Democrats that vote for ICE? A fascist organization that steals, murders, and terrorizes the United States?

"If I were a criminal, I'd be in prison" is the new way Republicans advertise the fact that there's no longer rule of law
An AP investigation found that at least 51 parents and spouses of active-duty service members have been detained by ICE since Trump took office for a second term, and at least six have been deported. Here are the main takeaways from the AP's reporting. bit.ly/4fFHr1k
Ya, media needs to stop giving this abuser air time. Max Miller needs to resign and go away.

Your groceries need a hazmat team, but sure, let’s hold another hearing about masks.
We are deciding whether we want to be a country of ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

The family of Edwin Lopez Cornejo (age 39) said he was not receiving the medications required to treat his diabetes, and blames his death on the lack of medical care (via USA Today). www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...
Harrowing stuff here: "'What time is it busiest in the FSU student union,' he asked next." "ChatGPT described specific activities and locations and said the busiest periods included 'weekday lunchtimes, typically between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.'"

Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.
I think he’s misunderstanding the criticism. Online video game consumers don’t want AI in or near games. Period.
DOJ is now 0-20 in cases to obtain state voter files. Here is the list: Arizona California Colorado Connecticut Illinois Kentucky Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island Virginia West Virginia Wisconsin
@schumer.senate.gov Your complicity for comfort's sake is disgraceful Why you think engaging in these public humiliation rituals puts the country in a better place is beyond all of us You should resign
Craig R. Brittain@craigbrittain.com · yesterdayChuck Schumer on voting to keep funding ICE and DHS while punting the ball until December, after the midterms: "This CR gives us the time to continue hashing out a budget. Senate Democrats will always be willing to work across the aisle."
John Cornyn's legacy right here. What a joke. I hope the Texan's that voted for him are proud of this coward.

Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "
Agred with all said here and I know if it becomes a blockfest of right wing assholes I'll jump off in a heartbeat. Guess I'm technically on borrowed time anyway thanks to the age verification bs.
Chuck Wendig@chuckwendig.bsky.social · yesterdayIt's a strange thing to watch Bluesky think of courting the right/far-right to join here. Whether they like it or not, they have an audience present, and it'd be much smarter to serve the extant audience instead of alienating them. Which is what will happen. Not everything has to be for everyone.
Apparently, sexually assaulting children doesn't count for very much either.
Two senators on their way out the door. Nothing left to lose. Total leverage. And they traded it for a memo. A piece of paper. Cornyn and Tillis folded like lawn chairs, and everybody knew they would. Again.
RFK Jr. ordered the CDC to stop tracking cyclosporiasis, because, well, "If you don't track it, you don't have any cases." Now, with people dying from it, the story can no longer be covered up. RFK Jr. needs to be put in a place where he can no longer harm people.
