Chris Murphy: "We need to stand up for the American citizens that ICE is murdering, the kids they're terrorizing. They should stop this illegal war and they should stop ICE from terrorizing our communities. We should demand they do both things."

They did see it coming--tried to pass a war powers act.

Tom Delay, when he was Speaker, said that the goal of the Republican party was to make the US a one party state.

Republicans in Congress will allow it. They've been working on election rigging for decades.

IF she was a hater. I have no opinion about that since I have no idea who this individual is.

It really doesn't matter if it was a hit piece or not because a hater would write a hit piece regardless. The Crockett team made the mistake of giving legitimacy to the hit piece writer--and possible increased her publicity and reach. That was not a good move.

Paramount should enjoy its growing news monopoly while they have it because when Democrats win back power we are going to break up these anti-democratic information conglomerates. All of them.

Here's a chance to make a real life difference because even if they don't win, they will pave the way to win in future years and will be helping down ballot races where Dems could win. So, all you keyboard warriors with the constant "Dems don't do anything" bullshit, here's a chance for YOU to act.

BREAKING: Democrats just called for Trump to Testify under oath:

Robert Garcia:

The SAVE America Act puts millions of American citizens, not undocumented immigrants, at risk of losing access to the ballot, all in the name of solving a problem that doesn't exist.

Demand your senators keep it off the floor. #SaveActTaxesYourVote

The issue is discussed as if it is about policy but actually it's about style. There is a desire for an emotional (angry, outraged, moral highground, assertive, etc) tone to replace the more professorial, judicial tone that is traditional (and annoying) from elected Dems.

I think the "debate" is mostly carping from uninformed people who deal in stereotypes and have nothing real to replace the imaginary moderation. For examp, Mamdani's policies are mainstream Dem. He's a charismatic and talented person--great! But hero of new ideas? The ideas are good but not new.

A lot of that comes from Dems or others making public statements calling Dems weak--which THANK GOD fewer are doing now. It's more a matter of perceptions than actions. Dems are fighting in every way a minority can so the way to be SEEN as strong is to ratchet up the rhetoric--which they are.

As a nation we do need Paramont and CNN and many other outlets to provide a free market of coverage choices for the public. It isn't all about you or me (I never watch TV at all).

Most of those people aren't aware Larry Ellison ALSO just took a big ownership stake in TikTok (alongside technofascist Mark Andreessen and right wing propagandist Rupert Murdoch)

this attack (and that's what it is) isn't just about CNN, it's about Twitter, Tiktok, CBS, CNN, Facebook WAPO, etc. etc

Decisions about war and peace shouldn’t be left to one person.

Congress holds the power to authorize military force. We need to use every lever we have to prevent Trump’s warmongering.

I think Mamdani is great. I also think it is a good idea to pick smart, charismatic, talented people to run for office on the usual standard Dem issues and ideas--which is what Mamdani is. Except for Gaza, which isn't really a city govt issue, he's mainstream Dem on policy.
