After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.
We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.
If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

In this cave-in we see the corporate Dem Establishment laid bare. The paid Loyal Opposition, working for the same paymasters as R's, tasked with surrending, bleating about bipartisanship, and snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Occasional, grudging, partial wins to maintain their cover.

Decision Desk has called both of Georgia's statewide races, for public service commissioner, for Democrats.
If confirmed, this would be a really huge win for Democrats:
It'd be their first statewide win in any non-federal race since 2006!

Thank you to the Indivisible Maryland Coalition for calling out a powerful Democrat's attempts to block Democrats' redistricting push in his state. GOP states are rigging the midterm maps nationwide and Maryland must act to level the playing field — our democracy needs fighters, not bystanders.

Why are there so many Republican pedophiles? Why are there so many Republican grifters? Why are there so many Republican lickspittles?
The only principle that unites them is the power of hierarchy: there are strong and there are weak, and the strong do to the weak whatever they can and want to do.

Like a broken clock being right twice a day, Dump is actually right about "the failing New York Times."
Oh yes the @nytimes.com did NOT disappoint. Upon hearing the news, I RACED to see what anodyne adjective it would use to downplay authoritarianism today, and it is . . . "uneasy." Just an old "uneasy mix"! That's all! Brilliant. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/22/u...

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

Phang: We are just 19 weeks—approximately—into the second term of the Trump administration. We have another three and something years to go, people. We cannot allow the DOJ to be led by a lackey of Donald Trump.
