Cool your jets for fucks sake. You're just as bad as the MAGAs.

Amen, it's an uncomfortable position to be in, being pro 2A on the left. But with a govt such as this, there's no way we should be giving away tools that can be used to protect our rights.

People in Gaza are posting final messages.

Why did I come away from this feeling like MGP genuinely doesn't like me and those like me? I'm one of those elitist snobs apparently, who buys their kids toys and enjoys having garbage service.

For someone that pours so much time and effort into everything you produce I can't imagine how difficult it would be to cover what's happening right now at the pace that it's happening. I'm grateful even just for your effort.

Why does it seem like you are the leader of the House Dems? Not complaining, but it shows how the party "leadership" is MIA. Thank you for fighting.

You guys act like you'll be back in power in 2026. The MAGAs will have tranformed our country by then. Show some damned urgency, please.

No offense to all the grandmas gone wild out there

So I notice that you posted about your vote to censure Al Green on X but not here? I try to avoid that cesspool for obvious reasons as many of your voters do. Can we have a discussion about that here? Or better yet...a townhall? I think a far share of those who voted for you would appreciate that

I saw what Al Green did and thought, "Wish my reps had that type of courage and intensity." And here we are...

You're stuck fretting about institutions and decorum when those things are already turned to ash. Fucking fight or get out and make way for someone who will.

It's as if the house is on fire and you've just noticed the smoke. There are the vague inklings of a stand but you lack the reaction of a normal person who would exclaim, "Holy fuck our house is on fire!" Call him by his name and stop pussy-footing around. You called JK a fascist, where's that now??

Al Green gets it. Where is the rest of the "resistance"???

The Democrat Party is dead. We need a true left-leaning populist party that gives a damn about the working class and doesn't sit on their hands because "decorum" while fascism sweeps through out govt like a fucking virus.

She cares more about the constituents of hers who voted for Trump.

scores of pissed off Mormon CIA agents who just got canned are ideologically cross-pollinating with platoons of fired trans FBI agents. we are on the verge of new types of politics our ancestors could only dream about

I had the misfortune of listening to his interview with Jon Stewart. If this is the "leadership" of the opposition we are in deep trouble. Hats of to these people for getting on his ass.

You've gotten a lot right about what the Democratic Party needs to do in terms of reaching out to all voters, not just the modern Dem base. But there comes a time where you have to bring the fire. The MAGA GOP is destroying our form of govt as we know it and from you we hear crickets. Primary time.

Trump/Musk says Europe is on its own when dealing with Russian aggression, but we're still part of NATO. Article 5 for me but not for thee. This is the most on-brand type of deal from these thugs.

Heyo!

It is the only way.

folks really need to accept that "lawful" and "lawless" don't matter, what matters is being able to marshal and deploy force (force of capital, the force of arms, the force of a crowd...) none of the people running the country right now give a good goddamn about the law

Dems need to flush out these old out of touch politicians. As well as they may mean, they are not equipped to deal with our new reality.

Are we thinking this was premeditated? I.e. did it take more than 30 seconds of thought? Or did he just come up with that on the spot? It wouldn't surprise me.

Yeah, purple disteict, working together, reaching across the aisle, wonderful. Polite reminder that I donated to your campaign and voted for you because you called JK a fascist and you vanquished him like the evil Nazi dragon he is. We need that energy again and we're not seeing it.

Our Democracy is in flames ATM, Dems are trotting out the likes of Chuck Schumer with an avocado. They also have David Hogg. The answer HAS to be somewhere between elderly buffoonery and youthful naivety. We don't need 6 term senators or gun grabbing children right now. Not with Nazis at the gates.

Mitch McConnell was not my favorite but he at least directed his a-hole-ness in every direction if he felt it was needed. Who's gonna be an a-hole to Trump? Not only do they fear for their seats, they (elected politicians) fear for their lives.

They do as they please and find ways to justify it as they go.

I appreciated how you were willing to fight JK (twice) and accurately called him out as a fascist. I expect no less from you now with the stakes considerably higher. Our democracy is disappearing by the minute
