Sure Ms Congressperson, you've been elected by your constituents and have proposed significant legislation to take up in the full MAGA/GOP caucus?
Sure, but, after you're done making lunch...and cleaning up.

House Leader Johnson as an evangelical does not believe that women are inherently unsuitable for elected positions, and treats them differently than the males?
Stefanik and her MAGa/GOP friends are only just now figuring this out?
To top it all off, Motorola is a wholly owned subsidiary of Lenovo which is majority owned by the Chinese govertment.

But, "media" isn't all of this. Dems need to talk WITH, not at, people more & most importantly they need to LISTEN.
Ask Mamdani how its done.
No, it's cool when folks use "big words". Fun when catch them using one they dont' really understand.
But ANY day i learn a new thing...is a good day.
What i really like about Mamdani is he really seems like a genuine person like every else, not you typical politician prepped with talking points and this clip highlights that very well.

I do get that, and would respect him more if he cared about the privacy and safety of others which Sen Graham does not.

I'll contribute, but never via ActBlue again
This is post i write reluctantly.
In the 2024 election i contributed $$ several times to what i thought were Democratic candidates. I chose to do so through Act Blue.
BIGGEST mistake ever.
I am SURE the funds were properly used and the folks at Act Blue are scrupulously honest about that.
Jeeze, whoever writes that stuff for Trump really is an asshole.

We should always keep a sense of humility along with our "righteousness". Especially when we are right.
They entire DHS department needs to be dismantled and necessary duties (ONLY) re-distributed to Agencies not yet corrupted by MAGA/GOP Trumpism.

10.11.2025 22:55 β π 3 π 1 π¬ 1 π 0The Party is collective entity of members at all levels. It's current leadership is not "The Party", it's part of it, & to an extent disconnected some from it's members & it resembles a white gerontocracy more than it's member demographics suggest.
A new, younger generaton of Leaders is the answer.
Schumer is not directly to blame, but he IS ostensibly the Leader there. This happened on his watch.
His leadership style has been questionable, this only adds fuel to that notion. He has 16% of his caucus that did not follow. Angus King is an Independent.
The big consequences of the Senate Dem cave-in is that:
1) There is no "unity"
2) Leadership does not have control or full support
3) Calls for "fight to the end" won't be believed as readily
4) Voters will increasingly look to activists like Newsom, Mamdani, Platner etc & away from Dem gerontocracy
