There is not a big enough "THANK YOU" that can be passed along to you, @marcelias.bsky.social and the team at Democracy Docket!!! You consistently beat back attempts at cheating by the GOP in state after state, district by district!! That allowed candidates the room to move and reach the people!!
🔥 @troyjackson207 hell yeah There’s always money for bombs and tax cuts for the rich, never for regular folks They block government-sponsored health insurance while they all have it THIS👇🏽 IS NOT RADICAL. Opposing it is. #MedicareForAllNOW
It feels like Schumer and Jeffries think they did this, but the truth is that WE did this despite them.
There is no excuse we will accept for any substitute to bold action. We were there for you, now the electeds have to be there for us. On dozens of issues and problems, not just a tiny handful of leadership “priorities.” The well of patience is not deep. Go to it.
Reminder: @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social doesn’t support abolishing ice or Medicare for all (anymore). He also has been backed by AIPAC, takes private meetings with Kushner This is really @TheDemocrats best option for speaker?
El-Sayed: "The first 3 things we have to do is end this war -- we need a war powers resolution that brings war-making capacity back to Congress -- number 2, ending this tariff regime & war against Canada, but number 3, stopping the nuclear bomb that's about to go off in our healthcare system ... "
El-Sayed: "People have always seen Trump as this big unbeatable monster. It turns out, you just stand up to him & he can read the tea leaves. I'm willing to work with anyone... it should never be about retribution. It's about enforcing the rule of law & most importantly delivering for the public"
🚨 BREAKING: Harmeet Dhillon, Trump's handpicked DOJ Civil Rights chief, has RESIGNED following Democrats' historic midterm sweep. Dhillon gutted the Civil Rights Division, drove out career attorneys, and pursued some of Trump's most odious legal crusades. The exodus begins.
You let a demented old man run wild. He imposed tariffs, insulted allies, threatened Greenland, started a war with Iran, blew up boats at will, terrorized US cities, gutted healthcare, and pursued endless vanity projects while you clapped like seals. Now you’re all unemployed spineless cowards.
BERNIE: “The 🇺🇸 people want us to end the stupid war in Iran… No more military aid to the extremist government in Israel…” BBC’s @vicderbyshire: “The 🇮🇱 government would deny they’re extremist.” 🤨 BERNIE: “In my view what they’ve done to the Palestinians is genocidal.”
AOC would make an excellent Speaker of the House. The contrast with mealy-mouthed Mike Johnson would be breathtaking.
If Dems want to turn this moment into long-term power, they need to replace Jeffries and Schumer. No more tepid "bipartisanship" bullcrap with Trump. People were killed in the street and in camps.
Anyone seeking to understand the midterm’s lessons should start here: Democrats won by being populist economic fighters who were unafraid to call out the corrupt politicians and corporate interests who have rigged the system at the expense of everyone else.
Not going to allow Trump and MAGA to rewrite reality on Iran like they did with the 2020 election & J6. Trump did not start the Iran War knowing it would cause gas and other prices to go up. He thought it would be a quick and easy success. He was a buffoon every step of the way.

NEW: The U.S. Center for SafeSport is taking new steps to protect children from athletic coaches banned over abuse allegations. The move follows a ProPublica and @washingtonpost.com investigation that found several sanctioned coaches continued to work with kids.

Victoria Broderick just won in TN-4 without @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ever knowing her name. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social won in Michigan and @schumer.senate.gov did the opposite of help him. The idea that those 2 take credit for this wave defies logic. They are not the "leaders" 🇺🇸 just voted for.
How did our reporters figure out a Russian oligarch bankrolled Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding? Let research reporter @amierjeski.bsky.social explain. (Published September)
“Our Dear Friend Umar”: How We Uncovered That a Russian Oligarch Bankrolled Donald Trump Jr.’s Wedding
On social media and in tabloids, photos from Don Jr. and Bettina Trump’s Bahamas wedding were tightly curated. But sometimes, what — or, who — isn’t pictured is just as important as what is. Let’s go ...

WATCH: @BernieSanders says Dems should pass Medicare for All and dare Trump to veto it— “I’m not so sure he will” Again: Trump working with Dems to guarantee everyone health care would be one of the few ways to improve the stain of his legacy. @SenSchumer @RepJeffries pass it.
