Schumer backed Angie Craig (-20), Haley Stevens (-1), Alexander Vindman (-13), and Janet Mills (-52, dropped out before primary) and they all lost their primaries. 18 months ago, Schumer’s post-2024 strategy was to allow the administration to self-destruct instead of challenging it.
Now which Senator is most responsive for methodically planning and excuting the electoral rout that we just saw? Somehow I don't think it's Chris Van Hollen.
The last Black senator from Mississippi was born into slavery
Reallocate school budgets away from property taxes toward a centralized pool that is doled out by need (class size, staff recruitment) not “merits” (test scores, graduation rates)

Something tells me all those calls we made right after the midterms got him sweating
Jeffries: "Stephen Miller is a stone cold racist. His track record speaks for itself. And I've got zero interest in working with that kind of individual."
Our number one push right now needs to be the addition of gender identity and sexual orientation to all blue state constitutions. And this would not be politically hard to do. "Equal rights for LGBTQ+ people" polls extremely well. And then let courts enforce the implications of it.
Transphobia *requires* policing women's performance of femininity Transphobia and feminism are completely incompatible
The thing they say won't happen happened (certainly isn't the first, and won't be the last). I thought they could always tell, and as the chair of the EHRC put it, "human beings are very good at telling the sex of somebody...we do that on multiple points of information".
I highly encourage trans women to send horror stories published in 2026 for this. Right now none of the Black Spot women-only story anthos have any trans women. I know the editors, they're not transphobic, which suggests receiving few if any such submissions. blackspotbooks.submittable.com/submit

For starters: Replace Schumer and Jeffries, undo anti-trans, anti-lgbtq and anti-DEI bills, reinstate USAID, tax the shit out of the billionaires, regulate AI, a moratorium on data centers, nationalize Space X. Then roll up our sleeves and get to work for the next several decades cleaning this mess.

"The American people don't want us to get even; they want us to get things done on their behalf." House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who is now poised to become the next House Speaker, says that Democrats will focus on affordability concerns and not retribution after their midterm wins.

WOW: Texas Democrats could gain FULL control over state government. Forget blocking new gerrymanders if that happens, they could *replace* the GOP's maps entirely, massively expand voting access, and take control over election administration in the biggest Trump state
I am jaw-dropped. Democrats are leading in enough seats at the moment to flip the Texas state Senate.
I say this based on experience: always knew you had it in you, Texas.

Josh Turek is still an op and we’re gonna wake up tomorrow with a big enough majority that we don’t even need him Mark my words, he’s gonna demand concessions like anti-trans policies for his votes but it won’t matter if we have numbers beyond him and Fetterman
Lol not if Hakeem Jeffries becomes Speaker. If all turns out well, call your reps tomorrow morning and tell them you won’t support that
If Republicans lose control of Congress in the midterm elections, the rest of President Trump's time in office is likely to be consumed by Democratic-led investigations into his administration and his business dealings, and possibly even another impeachment. https://to.pbs.org/4zJeitL
