Here’s what @OversightDems should do:

1.) sent a letter to Maxwell inviting her to testify

2.) if/when she accepts, send a letter to the Chair demanding a hearing

3.) if the chair declines, hold a minority-led “hearing” or “forum” with Maxwell as the special guest “witness”

On January 6, 2021, 147 Republicans voted against certifying a free & fair election. That was after a violent mob stormed the US Capitol. Why anyone would think those same Republicans would choose now to “stand up to Trump” over a piece of legislation is beyond me.

It’s an indictment of the Democratic Party leadership that they haven’t figured out by now that fundamentally we are still in the midst of an anti-status-quo electorate. That has more to do with some of these outcomes than whether or not you’re a “progressive”

NYC about to be ALL ELITE

Feeling really good about the fact that at this time last year our SecDef was the weekend anchor of a cable news program …

Posted without comment…

The dead giveaway here is the person leaked this Politico. That tells me right there they don’t give a shit about the Democratic Party. They only care about themselves and scoring points with the very “reporters” who will one day burn them down to the ground.

Clearly, this will ignite a conversation about men being *checks notes* too emotional to be in positions of leadership/authority/power

Ask any expert in narcissistic personality disorder - 2 narcissists cannot coexist with one another.

Gallego pushes to expand Dems' tent with eye on 2028 Gallego has criticized the Democratic Party for "kicking people out of the tent" ahead of the 2024 election.

I wish more democrats would follow the path of @gallego.senate.gov when it comes to policy, messaging, and the overall outlook on the Democratic Party.

I love the Ten Commandments.

I’ve tried to build my life on the Ten Commandments.

But forcing teachers to post the Ten Commandments violates the most important commandment: love thy neighbor.

BREAKING: Texas Republicans just passed a major book banning bill.

They say it’s about protecting kids from “filth.”

But when I questioned the bill author, he admitted that it could ban classics like Romeo and Juliet, Catcher in the Rye, and Lonesome Dove.

I’ve seen this play before, hell I lived it in 2009, Democrats have a generational choice: either be bold and select Rep. Jasmine Crockett to lead Oversight Dems or go with the 70/80 year olds (again) and see how that story ends for ya.

I write for The Hill.

The REAL Winner in The Fight Between The DNC & David Hogg Democrats vs Democrats Only Benefits The GOP

The real beneficiary of this fight between David Hogg and the DNC is the Republicans. Every dollar spent on Democratic primaries is a dollar not being spent on trying to beat Donald Trump and his MAGA acolytes.

I write in my latest column: open.substack.com/pub/kurtbard...

The REAL Winner in The Fight Between The DNC & David Hogg Democrats vs Democrats Only Benefits The GOP

You cannot have a dynamic where the player and the coach are in open warfare. That is a recipe for failure. Eventually, either someone will back down or someone will have to be shown the door.

Never again let Republicans get away with the b.s. narrative that they are better on national/homeland security than Democrats.

Congrats all you “America First” morons, what you actually did was broadcast to the world that America was closed for business so put your investment dollars anywhere but America.

Oh, now he finds his voice … what a coward.

Dear Republicans,

Please please please please keep sending Elon Musk out to be the face of your election strategy.

FWIW … I think Cory Booker would make an outstanding Democratic Leader to succeed Leader Schumer,

Democrats should channel AOC’s messaging re: the working class/economy … we have to remind them that we are with them and have walked in their shoes unlike the oligarchs that surround Trump-GOP.

YouTube video by Kurt Bardella Kurt Bardella on NewsNation -- Why Democrats Should Dump Schumer and Embrace AOC-Bernie Sanders

We need generational change in leadership and Chuck Schumer is clearly a relic from a time that has come and gone. AOC and Bernie are right to try and steer the Democratic Party back to some form of economic populism that focuses on the middle-working class.

About My Stephen A. Smith Column... He's not the answer, but he's worth studying

A lot of people in Democratic Party circles and progressives on social media vehemently disagreed with my @latimes piece about @stephenasmith … so much so that I’m questioning whether or not I should even stay in the Democratic Party.

My latest Substack: kurtbardella.substack.com/p/about-my-s...

The gender gap is widening as younger men keep trending GOP. Democrats, you have to meet them where they are. And where they are is at a @morganwallen @lukecombs @wwe event. If what you’re saying wouldn’t resonate with anyone at those events, your message needs to be completely recalibrated.

IF @kamalahqrepeater.bsky.social runs for Governor of CA in 2026, she could be the key to helping Democrats retake the House. Enthusiasm for the top-of-the-ticket could be the difference in turning those swing house seats Blue!

Contributor: Democrats, do not ignore Stephen A. Smith Is the most influential man in sports media going to run for office? Probably not, but Democrats need to learn his messaging lessons.

Hear me on this: Stephen A. Smith is no joke.

Democrats, do not underestimate him. Do not mock him. Do not take him lightly. Do not ignore him.

www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

Democrats are reeling. Is Stephen A Smith the way back to the White House? The charismatic sports news host has become an unlikely force in a party that needs critical friends and fresh ideas

His fans include Kurt Bardella who watches First Take “religiously”. Bardella said: “He is out there with passion and charisma and he provokes emotion and conversation and debate. He has become the singular most influential person in all of sports.

Democrats Let Rep. Al Green Down Stop Doing Things Half-Ass

Once Speaker Johnson invoked the Sergeant-of-Arms to remove Rep. Green from the Chamber, every Democrat should have formed a human shield around him and sent the message that if you want to get to him, you gotta go through us. A show of collective defiance.
