“The United States was founded on the principle that we are all created equal, but it has never achieved equality.” Gore Vidal

Hey, do y'all remember when Elon was carrying a chainsaw and DOGE bros were cutting 400 technicians who maintained and updated the FAA systems? Wonder what ever came of all that?

It’s worth noting that this story is passed down to us in part to show that the Roman Republic had ABANDONED REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT and was moving headlong into dictatorship

Rubio: “If the ICC are foolish enough to try to enforce their paper decrees on Americans, our answer will probably be the same as the Roman general Pompey when he said to those who were trying to invoke their city's charters against his legions: "Stop quoting laws to men with swords."”

Fetterman suggests he will leave the Democratic Party if Van Hollen is elected majority leader

By request, here is an update to the list of the top 25 warmest days (by anomaly) over the past 120,000 years, I mean, since 1940.

NEW: The Associated Press has called #CO4 for Democrat Eileen Laubacher over Republican Rep Lauren Boebert. The race has been baked since the morning after election night but Boebert didn’t concede as the final votes were counted.

Going to repost this because a lot has changed in the past week, but my sentiments remain the same.

Dray Wharton@draywharton.bsky.social · last wk.

If we want the change we voted for to have impact and meaning, we need new leaders. Schumer and Jeffries will step aside and be great allies in that change or they will make all of our efforts and votes meaningless. It’s really that simple.

Fact.

Adam Bonica@adambonica.bsky.social · 2d ago

I'm not sure people fully appreciate just how unpopular Schumer is. It is unheard of in other countries for a party to pick a leader this unpopular after winning an election. Only a third of Democrats view him favorably. Favorable Total: 15% 18-34: 8% 65+: 23% Ind: 8% Dem: 33%

With our new majority, we must: ✅ Deliver bold cost relief ✅ Get big money out of politics ✅ Ban gerrymandering ✅ Pass universal healthcare ✅ Invest in education ✅ Create a pathway to citizenship ✅ Build millions of homes ✅ Regulate AI & data centers ✅ End forever wars

👀 Senator @scolom.bsky.social : “It’s not accurate to say @senschumer recruited me. The people of Mississippi recruited me… you think I was listening to someone that lives in Brooklyn?” Wow, very different picture than the one Schumer + his allies are painting.

As you can see, I’ve been thinking a lot about billionaires. We’re never going to solve climate change as long as there are billionaires. We need to tax wealth until they are merely millionaires.

In this election, Americans called on us to unrig an economy rigged against working people & fueled by political corruption. To deliver, we need new leadership. This isn't about any one person – it’s about answering that call. That's why I’m running for Senate Majority Leader.

I wrote this last weekend about 24 hours after the New York Times said they'd seen enough and anointed Chuck Schumer as majority leader Re-upping for no particular reason share.inquirer.com/gI6ufI

Chris Van Hollen fought when no one else would. Make him Dems’ leader. | Will Bunch

The establishment’s race to keep Schumer and Jeffries as leaders must be stopped if Dems want to hold onto their midterm gains. Maryland’s senior senator should be on the shortlist.

I’d say James Freeman at the @wsj.com knows this corrupt administration will not fare well in any investigations. Why else publish this drivel?

Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · 2d ago

Doing a little reading last night and not completely surprised to learn that the last midterm with a president in his second, non consecutive term (1894) was an extinction-level event for the President’s party and destroyed it for almost 20 years.

🔥 @pressley.house.gov (who many want to see challenge Jeffries for Speaker): “Incrementalism is a recipe for failure… Democrats “cannot let money and the special interests dictate our fight. Imagine @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social saying this😕

@hickenlooper.senate.gov / @bennet.senate.gov It really is time for new Senate leadership. Don’t squander this historic opportunity. Please throw your weight behind Chris Van Hollen for Majority Leader. @indivisible-co.bsky.social #copolitics

Voters didn't deliver the biggest blue tsunami since Watergate just to return to business as usual. Tell your Dem senator: NO Schumer coronation. https://bit.ly/nocoronation

No matter your opinion on leadership in the next Congress, you can’t escape the fact that Pew’s polling practices and reporting has always been the gold standard. If Pew says 80% of your party has an unfavorable view of Israel, you can’t maintain the status quo. And, you may need new leadership.

conifergirl.bsky.social@conifergirl.bsky.social · 2d ago

The midterms were in some ways a referendum on Israel and our military spending in general. Pew Research found that 80% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents have an unfavorable view of Israel, up from 53% in 2022. This sentiment has been growing for years despite Israel’s efforts.

We've only arrived to this inflection point because of regular people. This really cannot be stressed enough. Go back to November 2024 after the election and read what the elites and Democratic electeds had to say. It was full-on capitulation and that continued through 2025.
