Joe Biden screwed the Democrats over, and the sooner we acknowledge that and move forward to correct his mistakes and the behavior of the party leadership who facilitated him, the better. Please don’t tell me that people around him didn’t expect his debate performance.

The image is a screenshot of a social media post by Aaron Rupar (@atrupar ), posted 12 hours ago. The post reads: "Peter Navarro goes full Orwell on Fox News Sunday: 'The message is that tariffs are tax cuts.'" Below the post, there is a Fox News broadcast graphic with the headline: "NAVARRO ON IMPACT OF TRUMP TARIFFS ON U.S. CONSUMERS." The broadcast is labeled as "FOX NEWS SUNDAY WITH SHANNON BREAM" and is marked as "EXCLUSIVE." The background features an image of the U.S. Capitol building.

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Tariffs are tax cuts.

Did your Democratic senator betray you yesterday by voting to give Trump more power to dismantle the federal government? Let them know you’re outraged by their decision to cave to extreme GOP demands, and that they’ve got some work to do to win back your trust: indivisible.org/resource/tel...

If you have any delusions that we'll get em in the midterms, it won't happen.

Chuck Schumer and these traitors just switched sides & colluded with the Dictator.

Senate averts shutdown, but vote leaves Democrats bitterly divided Dozens of House Democrats sent a letter to Schumer on Friday to express their “strong opposition” to his plan to back the Republican measure

I had it with the Democrat Party....
How can you collaborate with the fascists from the Republican party like this? Shumer you are collaborating with the enemy. You are basically a traitor.

Statement from SJPD, related to the dismissal of corruption charges against power broke and party boss, George Norcross and his associates. “Today’s news is certainly disappointing to everyone in New Jersey who is envisioning a more just and ethical future for our state. In South Jersey, George Norcross’s name remains shorthand for political corruption. Judge Warshaw’s comment does not speak to the undemocratic machinations so many of us have seen up close– the backroom deals, the cronyism, the Norcross machine’s penchant for running the public government like a private club, all to maximize their own self-dealing. Though the news is disappointing and we hoped for a different outcome, South Jersey Progressive Democrats have successfully organized for improved democracy for years, ousting the phantom candidates, advocating for a fair ballot, and educating voters about dark money in our elections and pay to play operations in our communities. The organizing work continues to get us the equitable, thriving South Jersey we deserve, ” said Kate Delany of South Jersey Progressive Democrats. “Since 1989, George Norcross has been installing his friends and loyalists in positions of power throughout South Jersey. For decades, he abused the power of the now-named likely unconstitutional county line to control the actions of our elected officials. Now, the court laughably says that these threats are between private parties. Private parties do not have the luxury of leveraging the power of elected officials to benefit their own interests; these are not negotiations, these are extortions,” said David Stahl of South Jersey Progressive Democrats.

"...The judge’s dismissal, at least for now, effectively nullifies the findings of the grand jury, which felt there was sufficient evidence for the charges to go to trial against all of the defendants. We at South Jersey Progressive Democrats would have preferred to see a jury render a verdict after considering all the evidence in the case. We hope Attorney General Platkin’s appeal is successful so a real trial can occur. As we see too often nowadays, there is a separate system of justice for the wealthy and politically-connected, one that fails to hold powerful people to account. But we will continue the fight against corruption, political threats, and cronyism, because we have to. Our democracy depends on it. All across the country, people are alarmed by the sight of our democracy sliding toward becoming a nation controlled by wealthy individuals who are in it for themselves. Once it happens, it is hard to recapture our freedoms. People in South Jersey, especially in Camden, see it too, but here it is corrupt George Norcross and his minions in the Democratic Party who control the levers of power and disregard the needs of most citizens. We won’t give up, we will keep putting up anti-corruption candidates with integrity and honor, who care about public service rather than appeasing party bosses and personally benefiting financially from their official duties. Join us if you can,” said Joe Bouvier “The grand jury did its due diligence and obviously felt the case warranted being brought to court and before a jury. In an age when we are witnessing our federal judicial system being weakened and attacked at every level, today’s decision by Judge (and jury) Warshaw is deeply troubling and reinforces commonly held beliefs that the wealthy and well-connected operate in a legal system much different and much more forgiving than the common citizen. My faith in New Jersey’s judiciary is shaken today,” said Susan Druckenbrod

Exactly 8 years and 6 days after our first public meeting that ended up split between the library and parking lot @crindivisible.bsky.social held another blowout tonight. The hall capacity was 450, and we had at least another 200 outside. People are waking up folks. #indivisible

My cats are scared as hell if you try to get them in the cat carrier as they associate it with a trip to the vet.

She (or is it he?) is so cute.
