I'd like for someone in the dem caucus to tell us which senators were real no votes and which ones voted no because they were allowed to.

Republicans were overwhelmingly getting blamed for the shutdown.
There was no reason for the Democrats to cave to Trump on healthcare, except for the fact that they are wholly owned and operated by the health insurance lobby.

And I'll say it again:

‪If we had believed children and women, none of this would be happening.

He'd be in jail, and she'd be President.

Truly a slap in the face, the perfect demonstration of cowardice. How the fuck are these bottom feeders still in power? They should take their corporate-funded retirements and leave us the fuck alone. Such incredible legacies, fighting against the very people they're entrusted to protect

Cull the Democratic Party. Systematically chip away all the weak, corporate centrists and corrupt, gutless elected officials who refuse to fight and instead suck at the teat of the oligarchy.

even when the democratic party has leverage and one of the craziest election swings the party intentionally self immolates it’s just so exhausting what is even the point of these people

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

What will Mike Johnson's new excuse be for not swearing in Grijalva?

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

Never forget who sold us out:

Hassan
King
Cortez-Masto
Shaheen
Kaine
Fetterman
Durbin
Rosen

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.

Pay attention to what Democratic candidates are saying right now. Find and support the fighters. Having a spine must be a litmus test issue in 2026 and beyond.

One of my favorite things that's ever happened

It’s been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona.

Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear her in because she’s the final vote for the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

Remember DNC, it doesn't matter who you run, Fox news will call them a socialist. You could endorse the corpse of Ronald Reagan and their first segment would be "Extreme socialist Reagan picked by Soros to destroy America"

Stop caring what fox news says, and listen to your base. It clearly works.

I ruined this workplace and I’d do it again

We made 1cm of progress toward accountability and somehow the patriarchy managed to frame the accused as victims of a witch hunt. Poor men, having their lives ruined by their own actions (except their lives largely stayed the same and they faced no real consequences)

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected 43 days ago.

Republicans still refuse to swear her in because she is the final vote needed to release the Epstein Files.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

oh my god they actually did it lmao

Traditional American politics is premised on the notion that sometimes you lose and sometimes you win and you have to deal with that.

But Trumpism is premised on the notion that any result where you don’t win is illegitimate, unlawful, fraud, criminal.

You can’t negotiate with people like that.

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani.

The president and his allies came after him.

Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute.

He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters.

His politics can win anywhere.

I can’t believe they called prop 50 the moment polls closed. That tells you something. Most of these races were called within 45 minutes. It’s a BLOWOUT, y’all. THAT is what we call a MANDATE.

NEW: California voters pass Proposition 50, which adopts a new Democratic-approved congressional map through 2030, The Associated Press reports.

The new maps will take effect starting in the 2026 midterm elections. https://to.pbs.org/47z89Dh

Neither of them are actually extreme though, and certainly not in comparison to the extremism on the right. Trying to equate those two means you either don't understand their policies, or you're closer to MAGA than you want to admit. Let's at least try dem socialism before we shut it down.

Doubting someone isn't giving them a chance. Doubt becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Try to have some faith first, and see what he can do before you write him off. If you're truly anti-MAGA, you might be surprised in a good way.

Right, so we're gonna try a different route with someone who actually cares.
