Wasn’t Biden responsible for inflation and Trump was going to “cut it on Day 1”?
U.S. inflation rose to 3 percent in January, strengthening the case for the Federal Reserve to extend a pause on interest rate cuts.

5 exTreasury Secretaries ring alarm: Political actors from DOGE have not been subject to the same rigorous ethics rules as civil servants. Their power subjects America’s payments system and the highly sensitive data within it to the risk of exposure, potentially to our adversaries.

Trump Gained 95,000 Votes in New York City. Democrats Lost Half a Million, but let’s keep blaming Latinos and other minorities.

Keep getting requests for money from Dems. They need soul searching and redirection first. Money was not the problem this time around.

Dramatic, extreme, unconventional? Pick a word that suits. The United States is heading into a new version of Trump World, and life will be different.

It seems Dem’s defeat was not because they were outspent but because they have failed to adequately educate voters or are simply out of touch with the majority of voters, particularly in swing states. Instead they blame Latinos, black men, younger white males, Biden etc etc.

Anyone concerned that over $15 billion was spent on this year’s election campaign? Who’s life has been made better by that?

Sorry, @hakeemjeffries.bsky.social, Trump’s cabinet is not a distraction, and the public has a right to the Gaetz report even if Republicans on the Ethics Committee decide to be partisan, and cover up a child sex trafficking scandal.
No, Trump's Cabinet Is Not A "Distraction"
They're cabinet secretaries, ffs!

Keep getting emails from Dems w ridiculous fundraising schemes. Enough w preying on our anxieties. Dems need to soul search & find a sensible course of action for the short to medium term. They then need to make a good case for it and fundraise from there as needed.

either people specify what they mean when they say “elite” or the term is just meaningless pejorative. both parties are dominated by elites in any conventional sense of what that means! the question is: why are right-wing elites more palatable to voters than liberal ones?

In the coming 4 years (and beyond) we progressively minded folk have to shift focus and remember that truest of all sayings:
ALL politics are LOCAL.
We have to start clawing back state legislatures, mayorships, governorships, city councils, education boards.

Why was the Dem leadership not promoting a younger generation of leadership these past four years? Ridiculous blame game now when they should really be doing self examination and focusing on a sensible way forward.

I’m actually tired of all the second guessing and scapegoating post election. Pelosi’s interview appalling: where was she and the Democratic leadership a year ago? Why did they not then demand that there be an open convention if that was the mistake?
