I started out as a Republican, but I've never joined the Democratic Party. The problem with the Democrats is that they are not disciplined. They're a big tent of all kinds of groups, and the nature of the beast is it cannot stay focused on one thing. 1/4

Young people are ready to elect Democrats up and down the ballot in 2026.

We will stop Donald Trump. We will end Mike Johnson’s tenure as Speaker. We will take back control of the Senate.

Help us organize by reposting and getting us to 80k followers!

Interesting parallel between foreign travel and progressive/liberalism.

Is Steven Miller writing Rubio's speeches now too?

Well, it rhymes with "right" anyway.

Can you guess which halftime show was playing at the Mar-a-Lago super bowl party? By the way, what language is "Mar-a-Lago"?

The Community Health Center of the New River Valley provides integrated care under one roof. In a district like ours, people can’t afford to drive all over to get care.This is what healthcare should look like… comprehensive, accessible and centered on people instead of profit.

Look who's introducing El Salvador's Torturer-in-Chief! At the National Prayer Breakfast no less.

ICE Locking up Preschoolers
YouTube video by Senator Kaine ICE Locking up Preschoolers

How can anyone believe Trump’s claims that ICE crackdowns are about crime when ICE is busy detaining preschoolers like Liam? Kids should be in school and safe at home with their familiesβ€”not in detention centers 1,000 miles from home. It’s cruel.

Abolishing ICE is crucial, but we also need to dismantle the systems that allow such agencies to operate unchecked. It's not just about removing one institution; it's about changing how we treat people at our borders.

If you are as sickened as this by I am, please direct all of your disgust and outrage at Congress - your favorite Democrats included - who should and could be filing and forcing votes on impeachment EVERY SINGLE DAY.

ANYTHING LESS is COMPLICITY. PERIOD. FULL STOP.

ICE OUT = TRUMP OUT

Everyone should call your Senators - especially the Democratic ones. Abolish ICE and CBP!

Well, the establishment Democrats want Sen. Schatz to be the heir apparent. I would rather see someone like Chris Murphy.

The Democrats need to replace him as leader. I've told both of my Democratic Senators.

I was originally talking about tactics in the sense of playing hard ball politics in order to win concessions from Republicans.

Good point. I have wondered if Schumer really just wants to go the easy way on most issues. On the other hand, he is a rabid supporter of Israel. No matter what they do, he'll support it.

I'm talking about their tactics, not their policy.

See how the Republicans negotiate? You could learn a few lessons.

Will the cameras be turned on? Will the videos be hidden? Deleted?

From what I hear, a lot of them would quit rather than have their friends and neighbors know what they are doing.

Kristi Noem and the whole putrid bunch needs to be in jail.

Tell your Members of Congress to rein in ICE NOW On January 24, federal forces with the Department of Homeland Security killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. This was just over two weeks after the killing of Renee Nicole Good. These killings are a dire...

Our senators must hold the line on DHS funding. We cannot settle for empty reforms while ICE and CBP terrorize our communities, violate our constitutional rights, and kill innocent people. Demand that your Democratic senators use their leverage to secure real restrictions on Trump’s secret police.
