AOC says the problem is no one will run against Jeffries or Schumer. The political hit to opposing them is too high. Even progressives don’t want to challenge the Dem power structure There should not be backroom deals to pick Dem leadership. We deserve a transparent process.

It's legally DoD, and what to call it is up to the people's elected representatives in Congress. "Department of War" sometimes gets "come on, it's just a little thing, let it go." But it matters. Symbolically, and because accepting some usurpation of Congress's legal authority is a slippery slope.

When @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social hold hearings, please do NOT call it the Dept of War. It is legally the Department of Defense and you should remind them at every opportunity that only Congress can change. Since you didn’t, there’s no such thing as DoW.

Good lord. I did not know this. We need to dump this chump. @jeff-merkley.bsky.social @wyden.senate.gov I am a constituent in portland. Ive already called your offices. But here I am again, pointing out that this man cannot continue to be tla leader in the democratic party.

As Chuck Schumer fights to remain leader of the Senate Democrats, his daughter remains a top lobbyist for OpenAI.

It starts good. But by the end, its really just a lesson on counting, with a side of crowdfunding in order to give a piece of scum the money he wants more of. Predatory capitalism hidden behind a feel good story of community aid. Grump, never gets got. He just gets his.

In 1988, while Koch was in office, Sesame Street introduced Ronald Grump, a greedy real estate developer character who famously tried to tear down Oscar the Grouch's home to build a stacked, multi-story "can-dominium" called Grump Tower m.youtube.com/watch?featur...

Honestly it's time to dismantle the entirety of DHS and revert the agencies back to the pre-9/11 status quo Combining all the disparate secret police forces into one department turned out to be Very Bad Policy™ that led to the exact thing its original critics said it would

No, it’s time to dismantle ICE entirely and investigate the crimes committed by its armed goons and then turn that info over to state and local prosecutors

Jeffries on NPR and I'm struck by the fact that ... clearly he's not a good leader but he's not even a good politician? Like ... if you're gonna be spineless at least be smooth? What are we doing here

“You don’t understand what a Speaker of the House does” no I think YOU don’t understand that coming out 12 hours after a historic win and trying to slow the momentum of the movement on behalf of the opposition is automatically disqualifying for any would-be leader of that movement.

For the longest time, centrist Democrats have pushed for bigger and less accountable policing. They will not stop, they will not rein them in. You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Their influence must be pushed to the side if we’re ever going to get rid of ICE and police that make society worse.
