YES. This is the way. Break the filibuster, send wildly popular legislation to his desk, and MAKE HIM VETO IT.

Warren: "Democrats must deliver popular, meaningful legislation to Trump's desk, and then dare him to veto it. Dare him to veto an increase to the minimum wage for hard-working Americans ... you can't win what you don't fight for"

Near-total ownership of social media platforms backfired on Republicans in the midterms, convincing them they were building a thousand year Trumpenreich by being the biggest assholes imaginable (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

After last week’s historic wins for Democrats, we asked YouGov to conduct polling on Senate Democratic leadership. This data only corroborates what we already knew: Voters see Chuck Schumer as the face of an old, unpopular politics. It’s time to unify behind a less divisive leader for the future.

I’m honestly asking. Not in a dick way. Why did Jeffries allow 11 Dems to miss the Hegseth impeachment vote today? If there’s a reasonable explanation, I’d like to hear it. Again, I’m honestly asking. No shade. What’s the deal?

Trump is rapidly down-spiraling. Meanwhile his staff and the entire Republican party conduct their version of 'The Emperor's New Clothes' – expecting the whole world to 'just go along with it'. This is not sustainable.

Here's the entirety of Trump's bonkers call to C-SPAN, which began with a woman (not Melania) giggling in the background, continued with him going on a fascist diatribe about Venezuela, and ended with the C-SPAN host gently trying to nudge him off the line mid-psychotic rant

Cowardice: alive and well in America.

Motion to Block Hegseth’s Impeachment Succeeds: 211-204 One Republican votes no

🚨🚨 Ben Meiselas reports that Trump's inner circle is already turning on him, with corporate lawyers reportedly flooding congressional Democrats with offers to cooperate. “We may have screwed up. We did things wrong. How could we help and participate?”

🚨 BIG NEWS: A federal judge just dealt Trump’s DOJ THREE major setbacks in Katie Phang's Epstein Files lawsuit—including ordering the release of previously withheld FBI notes involving sexual abuse allegations against Trump. And that’s just the beginning.

NEW: Republican Rep. Ralph Norman gave Trump a brutal grade for his midterm meddling

Trump Gets an ‘F’ From Republican Congressman After Midterm Disaster

Rep. Ralph Norman delivered a brutal grade for Trump's meddling in South Carolina politics, a sharp departure from the glowing reviews Republicans were handing out before the election.

Van Hollen shanked Schumer in an interview with Ali Vitali today: “We have two members in that room, newly elected senators, who would not be there if Schumer and the DSCC had had their way. And, you know, Schumer and the DSCC sided with the crypto industry and AIPAC against these candidates.”

Punchbowl news says you'll need 28 votes to win the leadership. Out of probably 56. "To have both Sanders and Slotkin on the same stage - two ideologically different Democrats - this is a seismic news conference." 10/

PRESS: So are you a no on Schumer? SANDERS: I'm a no SLOTKIN: I'm a no, and I want to hear your plan. We're asking our colleagues to withhold a quorum until we get that plan 7/

SLOTKIN joins Sanders at the lectern: We need to hear candidates' plans. I'm not seeking the leadership job. I'm seeking change. Senator Sanders and I disagree on some items, but we agree on the need for change. We need leadership that will govern for the entirety of the caucus. 2/

HAPPENING NOW: Bernie Sanders says he like Chuck Schumer, but the time now is for change, and he will not be supporting Schumer for leader. "We need a vigorous debate, and we need to have that out in the open to show the American people that a new day has come." 1/

I saw this clip circulating and pulled it for myself because it almost looked fake. Nope! It's real. What in the heck is going on with Don Jr's eyes? I don't think I've ever seen someone look this high on camera before.

Inflation has more than doubled since Trump took office. The scale of the policy failure that America is experiencing right now is hard to put into words.

Meiselas: MAGA Republicans continue to fall apart on Capitol Hill, naming Jim Jordan as the new minority leader... Now you got the guy who was a gym coach and was involved in covering up sexual assault at a university. This is the lesson that MAGA learned from the shellacking they just took

If Pete Hegseth is too scared to take a question from the Washington Post, how is he supposed to stand up to China, Russia, or Iran? Our adversaries won't be handing him softballs from OANN

Hegseth is a coward who is afraid to take questions from real reporters.

With the election over, bot activity is going to pivot from sowing division between the parties to sowing division among people who voted Democratic. Bear that in mind when shit-stirring crosses your timeline.

NEWS: Inflation came in hotter than expected in October, with consumer prices rising 0.4%, above the 0.3% forecast. Grocery prices, electricity, rent, transportation, and medical costs all saw significant increases as Americans continue to grapple with rising costs under Trump. 🥵

It's wild that the Hegseth Impeachment Articles don't just claim he is unfit or dishonest, but that he is a murderer.
