oh no I’ve discovered doing squats while holding my baby to my chest makes them grin. I’m afraid my legs are about to be in amazing shape.

Can do!

It's not amnesia. It's reality avoidance and, in many cases, willful ignorance

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.

Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.

One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

This vote has not happened yet. Call your Senators, especially your Democratic Senators, and tell them that a deal without protection NOW for health insurance tax credits is unacceptable.

Whatever happens after this, y’all, we must all agree to do whatever non-felony things we can to make Schumer miserable until he resigns.

“I think it’s a terrible mistake,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren says of the deal. “People want us to stand and fight for health care, and that's what I believe.” (via Igor Bobic, HuffPo) x.com/igorbobic/st...

I told my Senators that the message Senate Dems are sending is that if we vote for Democrats resoundingly in an election, they’ll promptly fold.

Is this what they want us to take from this?

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen.
Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

a mock up for Zohran Mamdani's iconic font & color combination, but instead of any campaign message it reads CALL YOUR SENATORS and tell them not to cave like spineless dorks

sorry i mean

I am once again saying that we saw what wall to wall, panic coverage of a crisis looked like after the Biden debate and there’s no reason Trump isn’t getting that kind of coverage except for class solidarity.

Trump would rather let 42 million Americans go hungry than admit he broke the law.

The same guy who "doesn’t want to hear about affordability" posted about his new marble bathroom 7 times last week.

THEYRE CLOSING THE PUBLIC LIBRARIES IN THIS SYSTEM TO BAN BOOKS BECAUSE THE SECRETARY OF STATE TOLD THEM TO.

This is a big fucking story. They won't be the only ones.

A New Era for NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is ready to work to make New York safe and affordable for all of its residents.

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has released a resume portal via his transition site, offering jobs for people of all skill levels “to help build an administration of public servants that will drive down costs and keep all New Yorkers safe.”

This has been the worst year for layoffs since 2009, according to CNBC.

I continue to believe that the Trump *campaign* successfully convinced quite a lot of people that mass deportations did not mean mass deportations; that it meant targeted enforcement against “the bad guys.”

The problem for the Trump *administration* is that no one believes that anymore.

Fresh off of big wins last night, Schumer and Jeffries demand a bipartisan meeting with Trump to end the shutdown

Photo of NBC’s exit poll data (from my work laptop, lol) showing Mamdani splitting the straight vote equally with Cuomo, but taking the LGBTQ+ vote by more than 5:1. Even though the LGBTQ+ slice is only 14% of the population, they were a LANDSLIDE in his favor.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

The lesson here is have good principles and stand on them. Stand for something that isn't power!

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.
