embarrassing for the house judiciary dems

When Democrats have the power, we have to use it. Universal childcare. Paid leave. Medicare for All. Abolishing ICE. No more incrementalism or moderating our aspirations. We need to do the work of repair, restoration, and reconstruction.

It’s day 2 dawg.

Have you set a reminder in your phone to call Monday? 9 out of 10 dentists recommend Bullying Your Reps as part of your daily diet. Search “call script”+schumer or Jeffries to find verbiage. Call, fax, or email - if you can post here, there’s no excuse for not contacting your reps.

Amazing job everybody, keep going

this is what I mean. I am not "coming together" with these people. I do not want "unity." Wanting unity with the people who did this is bad

we can never forget that they shot a mom and a nurse in the middle of the street and told us they deserved it

More voters called government corruption crucial to their vote than any other issue, including the cost of living.

If Hakeem Jeffries wants to be the Speaker he needs to come out publicly and announce that Oversight will be investigating Miller immediately, because that is the moderate position.

This “get things done, no retribution” line is lots of things, but above all it is incoherent. Elon Musk is an unelected billionaire whose armies of teen creeps destroyed entire agencies in a weekend. There is no way of “getting things done” that doesn’t involve holding him accountable.

"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.

man, the funniest thing about "now is not the time for revenge" is that revenge is probably the lowest common denominator in the big tent. like it'll be real work to get the libs and socialists to agree on affordability policies. everyone's cool with revenge, though

avg bluesky user: don’t call it “revenge” when it’s accountability under the law. framing matters. your aunt on facebook: I want my nazi scalps

Oh, hello! I didn’t see you there. Anyway “healing the nation” by doing nothing has not only never worked, it also always sends the message to evil people that the only consequences they will ever face for selling out their own country will be mild inconvenience

When MN Demss gained a 1 seat majority in the state senate this is what they did. YOU. ACQUIRE. POWER. TO. USE. IT.

"Now is not the time for-" i'm gonna stop you right there, it's the time for EVERYTHING

Really, really important for Democrats to understand that if we allow "enforcing the rule of law" to be redefined as "getting even" we are cooked.

Tonight the American people sent a clear message - the president must go to jail

Tonight, the American people sent a clear message — they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face.

cop: did he send any texts around the time of the crash? cop 2: he posted on bluesky "padding my three track album with 26 skits and interludes" cop: not bad but it ain't going viral cop 2: posting isn't just about going viral cop: (sighs) not this shit again

Rep. Delia C. Ramirez has introduced a bill that would abolish not just ICE, but the DHS altogether, repealing the 2002 law establishing the agency and replacing it with one focused on protecting civil and human rights.

The Department of Homeland Security was established in 2002 as part of the Bush administration’s war on terror.

you shouldn't take an iced coffee to a job interview because you shouldn't be trying to get a job. you should be digging an enormous pit or a complex system of tunnels

there's also the common belief that peoples' online behavior is always a facade or persona--but in nearly all cases, looking at someone's disturbing posting life is actually an *excellent* window into their psychology

Lemon we're remaking A Christmas Carol, and this time its about how Scrooge had a point about not sharing. You're writing it and we start shooting on Thursday www.avclub.com/scrooge-gray...

The media's takeaway from an El-Sayed win is the same as it would have been from a Stevens win, and the same as it will be if El-Sayed wins the general, or if he loses it: everyone, no matter who they are, needs to take several steps to the right.

That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Democrats would sweep the midterms if they campaigned on bringing back OG Four Loko
