There is not one face of the Democratic Party. Tonight proved there are many faces, but each with a commitment to fight back against the reckless failure of the Trump regime and actually serve people.

Thank goodness.

Republicans are even losing state Senate seats in Mississippi.

The lesson here is have good principles and stand on them. Stand for something that isn't power!

HUGE THING:

100,000 people volunteered for Mamdani. 1000s volunteering for the FIRST TIME. And they just won BIG.

So that's a massive army of progressives HUNGRY to keep on winning.

That's worth more than all the billionaires' money.

We're going to keep working.

And we're going to keep winning.

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

If I was a Republican member of Congress watching the results tonight, I’d ask myself if I really wanted my legacy to be: Guy who helped an aging pedophile suspend the constitution so he could enrich himself and his friends.

57% of all ad spending by Republicans in the Virginia governors race was on anti trans ads. Just an incredibly mismanaged campaign. Anti-trans politics are a losing issue.

Actor Mandy Patinkin’s plea for Jews to consider how what Netanyahu’s Israeli government is doing to Gaza is not just harming Palestinians and killing kids — but also endangering Jews across the globe.

Trumps Gestapo and SS just like the Nazis

As Floods Hit, Key Roles Were Vacant at Weather Service Offices in Texas

The United States government is no longer able to protect us from real hazards, such as flash floods, because it’s shifting funds to fake hazards, such as a non-existent immigrant crime wave. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/u...

Folds: If we’ve been told our whole lives that we can’t spend money on the arts because they’re not important—then why was taking over the Kennedy Center and the arts the first thing they did?

It is extremely important. It’s the bedrock of self-expression.

Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?

🚨#BREAKING: U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is calling for the impeachment of President Trump, citing a pattern of dangerous and unconstitutional behavior, as well as serious concerns over his recent actions in office.

God my absolute heart is with the people of Iran, who’ve fought so steadfastly for their own liberation, and are getting fucked half a dozen ways by a whole pantheon of geriatric war criminals while being told they should be grateful for it

I know this can sound kind of silly at a time like this, but doing a war without congressional authorization is ample grounds for impeachment

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

NY Governor says what she really thinks.

Not. Ever.

Pope Leo XIV, Born in Chicago, Is the First American Pontiff

Robert Francis Prevost, who was elected the 267th pope of the Roman Catholic Church today and took the name Pope Leo XIV, is the first pope from the United States.

A member of the Order of St. Augustine, he resembles the late Pope Francis in his commitment to the poor and migrants.

That Kristi Noem video with the detainees is so upsetting and the fact any sizable fraction, let alone a majority, of our society would endorse it is evidence of a deep rot in our entire culture. Like until you answer what fuels the appetite for that kind of thing it will only get worse

Government abductions are unconstitutional.

Denying anyone the right to due process in America is unconstitutional.

If you’ve rationalized your silence or support for any of it because it’s happening to those you disagree with, give it a minute…

They’ll get to you soon enough.

We’re in the middle of spring tornado season

Nothing says “party of the everyman” quite like two born-to-riches nepo baby billionaires selling $80,000+ cars on the White House lawn.
