I don’t know why they aren’t constantly being asked what happened to the funding bills they were going to pass via reconciliation

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

They are trying so hard to convince you that the party in control of the White House and both chambers of Congress isn’t to blame for what’s coming.

More than half of ALL government shut down days in the history of America have come under just one president.

Simply put, the man is a terrible leader.

Right-wing extremist violence is more frequent and more deadly than left-wing violence βˆ’ what the data shows Donald Trump and top administration officials confidently assert that left-wing political violence is a huge problem in the US. They’re wrong, say researchers who study extremism.

The RIFs that began Friday will reportedly cut 65% of CISA’s 2,540 employees, one of the dumbest and most dangerous moves imaginable. CISA defends the nation’s cyber and critical infrastructure. Destroying it now only makes sense if you’re afraid of election integrity.

I cannot emphasize enough that this administration shouldn’t get 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴π˜ͺ𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘷𝘰𝘡𝘦 from the Dems until they start obeying the law.

Not. One.

Optics matter: if you want people to turn out next election despite troops in the streets, then show them it matters.

Do your goddamn jobs and hold the line.
