I'm a cat like that. She/her NW Mississippi, Memphis-made, "knows just enough to be absolutely insufferable", if you see Roger Wicker, tell him I said he's no Thad Cochran.

Spending Bill Would Pave Way for Senators to Sue Over Phone Searches

Look at this new outrage. To open govt, we're retroactively letting 8 Senators sue for $500K each over having had their J6 phone toll records looked at. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...

"Imagine someone with Bernie's policies but not 100 years old" is a very appealing idea to a lot of folks

Hickenlooper, Bennet give Colorado the nation’s biggest pro-Trump skew in Senate votes | Colorado Newsline Sen. Hickenlooper has been the Democratic caucus’ number one outlier in voting with Trump's agenda almost twice as often as would be expected.

This is interesting; from a policy perspective, Hickenlooper seems to be the easiest target - further right than his electorate, made noises about backing the cave, etc.

Coons folded during the post Jan 6th IMPEACHMENT fight and Delaware is safely blue. He’s gotta go.

Reed apparently sucks according to a Rhode Islander.

Hickenlooper’s seat is probably safe.

Hypothesis: we don't need to primary all the Senators, only one; call it the Dave Brat Principle.

By my count, our non-retiring incumbent options in 2026 are: Hickenlooper (CO), Coons (DE), Ossoff (GA), Markey (MA), Booker (NJ), Lujan (NM), Merkley (OR), Reed (RI), and Warner (VA).

Dems: Donate now to save democracy

Dems: cave on Big Beautiful Bill

Dems: Your donation will save America!

Dems: Cave again, risking ACA

Dems tomorrow: Just 25 dollars could keep the republic alive!

Speaker Johnson has literally said he's "not promising anyone anything."

For once, I believe him.

Democrats seem to think the pivoting to the center makes them most electable but all it does it piss *everyone* off.

Having beliefs/a backbone and being authentic is the best way to win elections. People are fucking sick of croneyism and corporate suck ups and that is why Zohran cruised to victory

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

The Democratic party is not a secret society. There's no test, you don't have to participate in a purity ritual, and you don't have to agree with everyone there. I promise it's not dangerous. Your country needs you, the party needs you.

This is why I am reminding people you may need to actually involve yourself with Democrats as a party if you want it to represent you.

In my old town the GOP had run basically without serious challenge for decades. A bunch of us "millennials" joined the local Dem party and basically asked to help.

We were running it in a year. Within 4 years we had a majority of town seats flipped Dem. A FAR more progressive Dem than old party

The Supreme Court not taking Kim Davis’ crackpot appeal doesn’t β€œindicate” a lack of appetite to overturn Obergefellβ€”just that this was a ridiculous legal argument. Pathetic framing here by the Washington Post. There is absolutely a ticking clock on marriage equality. DO NOT CONGRATULATE

What has lightened my mood this Monday is also imagining Musk repeatedly coming back to that Oates post; reading and re-reading it, and knowing that he is just exactly who she describes: an amorphous lump of wealthy flesh, incapable of joy, connection or meaning
