I just have to say it. I may never get over the fact that our country elected someone who calls people names every chance he gets.

What national significance in a single murder case of a woman’s boyfriend requires the daily coverage that we are seeing? I don’t get it with everything else going on that really matters.

Can you imagine how Hegseth’s two ex-wives must be enjoying this latest episode?

TODAY’s ACTION ITEM: Why the hell is he still the Secretary of Defense? Hegseth is a clear and present danger to our democracy. Call your electeds and tell them to impeach Hegseth and investigate how so many security breaches were allowed to happen! Find your elected’s ☎️#s & a script:

I’m not a DNC officer anymore so I can have a position - I’m frustrated and wish we had more courage and strength like @vanhollen.senate.gov and less hand-wringing. Do I think Pelosi is “still effective” - Absolutely! No one is tougher.

Agree- He is a talent. Hogg did not run saying vote for me and I will invest $20 million to primary candidates. If he would have said that he wouldn’t be Vice Chair.

Absolutely multi-faceted approach - I’m one of the 50 state strategy advocates - but if you are a DNC officer you direct your efforts to make that happen - you don’t attempt to defeat Democrats you decide are “too old”.

You are conflating the issue. David is an elected DNC Officer Congress picks their own Leaders. The actual DNC members are local activists from across the country and abroad and in 2025 the new DNC officers elected are the youngest and most diverse ever. They were expected to be on the same team.

It absolutely was a perfect example. None of us are happy - we lost - but defeating people because David Hogg decides to invest money that could go to defeat Republicans isn’t what a DNC Officer should be doing.

Of course you need a multi-level approach - but pick seats that will gain a majority instead of throwing money into solid Democratic seats.

I might have actually voted for David. I campaigned with him in 2018 when I was on the most progressive ticket MD had ever seen. So don’t make assumptions. Being a DNC Officer comes with responsibilities and limits and he’s thumbed his nose at a key requisite-neutrality.

They aren’t Vice Chairs of the Democratic Party. He was elected to strengthen the Party not personally decide who is an asset or not. If he wanted to build his organization more power to him, but not as a DNC Vice Chair.

Exactly! Since when do you campaign for yourself on building the Party and expanding the base and then create disputes rather than make yourself a fair arbiter? @rhonnief.bsky.social thank you for reminding him we’re all on the same team.

As a former DNC Vice Chair - I can say with authority - Tulsi was also the first!

@steventdennis.bsky.social - Thank you. Instead of the uninformed analysis of what Chris did and why - you nailed it.

Yes, @vanhollen.senate.gov this is an American issue. Thank you for your strength and clarity.

What @vanhollen.senate.gov describes is so very reminiscent of the Nazi staging for the Red Cross of the Terezin Concentration Camp where I lost extended family members. It is stunning but not surprising. It is breathtaking nonetheless.

To clarify -how a conservative Republican judge tells a President to F**k off! See folks - it actually can be done.

This advancement is exactly why you don’t cut research dollars at NIH, FDA, CDC and throughout our scientific centers across the government. Science saves lives and improves the quality of lives.

I wake up today wondering why anyone is ok with the dumbing down of America. Who thinks it is a good idea to cut science, research, arts, humanities, libraries, education? Why is that ok? Explain it to me.

Even the stock market graphic looks scary. I hate rollercoasters and it looks like with MAGA in charge, that’s what we’ve got.
