This now-convicted rapist was a featured speaker at RFK's MAHA conference just 6 weeks ago. Dr. Oz shared a stage with Brand knowing all of the vile rape and sexual assault charges pending against him.

Stanford Medicine has deleted a December 2024 tweet publicly congratulating Jay Bhattacharya on being nominated NIH Director. Gee whiz, I wonder why?
Van Hollen, Flanagan, El-Sayed, Jackson, Hamilton, and Stratton have said they either don’t want Schumer as majority leader or that they’re not sold yet. Talarico and Pappas both stressed “new blood” This is not inevitable and there is an incredible amount of chatter for this point in the process
THIS. Why on earth would anyone choose to let the most craven, powerful criminals get away with it?
George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸@gtconway.bsky.social · 19h agoIt’s not a question of "getting even." It’s not even a question. It’s a duty. It’s the power and duty of Congress to provide oversight. To ensure that the executive branch is being operated in accordance with the Constitution and the laws that Congress has enacted on the people’s behalf. ...
The day after winning election, Senator-elect Peggy Flanagan called for Chuck Schumer to be replaced as the Democrats’ leader in the U.S. Senate.
These ultra-tight races are excellent examples of "if your vote didn't matter, they wouldn't try so hard to stop you."

Our victory – and what comes next. This victory comes with a mandate from the voters that is about ending corruption, ending unfairness, getting money out of politics, bringing down oligarchy, and reducing inequality. That's what we're here for. It's time to get started.
The new Senator from Minnesota. The new Representative from Indiana. We don’t have to scapegoat people to win!
Best thing I've read about the election so far is Brian Beutler's piece urging Democrats to fully understand their mandate. "The public wants an end to the scourges of tyranny. Deliver it." @brianbeutler.bsky.social
Don’t Read The Mandate Down
No one wins a historic realignment election because inflation is slightly above trend. The public wants an end to the scourges of tyranny. Deliver it.

Right?!? This should not have to be explained, ffs
Jared Yates Sexton@jysexton.bsky.social · 24h agoI swear to god. Corruption and affordability and fascism are one and the same. This economic crisis was only made possible through corruption of politics facilitated by the wealthy and carried out by the political class in both parties. Fascism is the project that keeps it going at all costs.
This, this,this. The right answer is ALL OF THE ABOVE. No false choices, no half measures. Dems have to do it all.
Sean@stholeary.bsky.social · yesterdaySen. Warnock was just asked on CNN if Dems will focus on costs *or* corruption, and he responded "We can walk & chew gum at the same time." Hell yes, that is the message.
ROSES ARE RED TEXAS IS BLUE GOD IS NONBINARY GREG ABBOTT FUCK YOUUUUUUU
I said this on @nativelandpod.bsky.social but I'll repeat it here: A dangerous narrative is going to be "the GOP gerrymandering didn't work." NO. It worked GREAT. We just OVERCAME it. But we'd have even MORE seats, and different candidates could have won those seats, without the gerryamndering.
If you hear one Democrat talking about reaching across the aisle to find common ground with Donald Trump you must bully them until no one remembers their own real name.
"Now is not the time for-" i'm gonna stop you right there, it's the time for EVERYTHING
Seriously, Democrats. Take a lesson from Labour in the UK fucking up its big victory so far. Don't waste any time appeasing GOP assholes. Tar and feather them. Glue the MAGA hats to their stupid heads. Don't misread the mandate: destroy them. And by destroying them, you unite the nation.
Sarah's beautiful speech in the final moments of our final rally of the campaign.
I get so tired of those hypocritical, preachy dicks. Stop trying to force your lifestyle on us already. 🙄
A child in New York has died of measles. Nobody had died from measles there for more than 30 years. Until today. All of this was preventable. Every measles case, every hospitalization, and every death.
But in all seriousness for fuck’s sake vote today and don’t vote for fascists. We can go back to yelling at everybody who sucks next week. Time to make the white supremacists who killed our neighbors in the street and opened up foreign blacksite concentration camps feel some pain. Your vote helps.
