The Attorney General represents in the United States of America. Not individual cabinet officials. Not the president. This refusal to do his job is grounds for his own impeachment. 
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 7h agoBASH: Do you see it as your job as attorney general to represent anyone in the administration being investigated by Congress? BLANCHE: Wait, do I see it as my job? The Constitution sees it as my job! BASH: So if Hegseth faces impeachment, would you represent him? BLANCHE: Well, yeah
The immediate task for Democrats: put some points on the board.
Corruption. Cruelty. (in)Competence. Constitutionality. There has to be accountability. For all of it. There is no other path forward.

Scott Colom@scolom.bsky.social · 5d agoMISSISSIPPI! Our race is too close to call. We are going to make sure every single vote has been counted, and I am confident we will ultimately flip this seat.
It’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. ...
MS NOW@ms.now · 4d ago"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.
The richest man in the world spent more money than most people will see in a lifetime, only to lose a Senate race in Texas by double digits. This is a reminder that we must overturn Citizens United. But it's also a reminder that organized people can still defeat organized money.
Democrats: We can walk AND chew gum. We proved it last name. Corruption, competence & cost all matter to voters. We can, & we have to, pursue them all at once.
Democrats in Congress, we have handed you enormous power. We want you to use it—wisely, creatively, decisively, and courageously. Stop Chuck Schumering and go after the bad guys before the damage they do to the country & the world becomes fatal. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Last night, Americans made a clear call for accountability and affordability. A body politic cannot recover until its harms have been treated and its wounds have been healed. Crimes against our people and our Constitution must be answered for.

We did it.

not only was this the first truly decisive election in 15 years, not only was it the first real repudiation the MAGA Republican Party has experienced, but it is an earthquake in the South. with investment — and with laws protecting the right to vote — the whole region could be blue.
Two years ago Trump won narrowly. American elites immediately folded and rushed to comply as he moved to consolidate power. Regular people stood in the gap. They organized and fought back and protected each other. Tonight belongs to them.
I think we should offer thanks to all the Ds who stepped up and ran courageous races in the face of endless media naysaying, vicious GOP propaganda, and Musk-fueled derangement, thoughtfully creating a new politics that appealed to people's basic decency at an extremely trying time in American life.

worth remembering that a large part of the black voting electorate is what you might call the first VRA generation — people who would have been the first in their families to turn 18 with the actual right to vote — and that their parents/grandparents lived through jim crow
post malone ergo propter malone@proptermalone.bsky.social · 7d agoyeah, so, i think Bluesky may be kind of structurally blind to exactly how mad the organs of Black politics in the South are right now
One way of understanding how important Democratic control of the Senate for the next 2 years is, is thinking about SCOTUS. A GOP majority gives Trump free rein to confirm whoever he wants for any open seats. A Dem majority to act as a check is essential.
The election is two days out. Let's stay focused on what matters: Winning. Bypass all the distractions. We can sort it out later. We need to win by margins big enough that they can't be challenged. Let's turn out the vote.
Praying for the recovery of Sen @chrismurphyct.bsky.social - someone I’ve long admired as a person of conviction and courage. Strokes happen all too frequently and suddenly across the country. Relieved he’s at Hopkins and getting the best care.
Let’s normalize the leaf nap. Good morning blue sky
