Yes, the name changed. The mission did too. From rallying Democrats to uniting all citizens. Still Good Trouble. Vive la révolution.
Pinned
We’ve changed our name. Here’s why:

We started as DEMOcrats to push the party to stand up—to make good trouble.

But time and again, they gave away their power:
• Empty promises.
• Performative gestures.
• Blocking the next generation.

They’ve missed the mark. America is paying the price.
Truth.
Trump really isn’t controlling much of anything at this point.

What you’re seeing is the Stephen Miller agenda.

Odd that the DoJ is opening an investigation into the Epstein files since they said in July that there was no client list and nothing to release.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Worth every second.
Jimmy Kimmel’s eulogy for his lifelong best friend and band leader Cleto Escobedo is beautiful on every level. Showing the gutting emotion so many men suppress and knowing just when to bring comfort through laughter when the grief overwhelms. youtu.be/0xlVAr6JZ9A?...

You seeing this America?
Amendment which strikes section which “allows senators who were legally subpoenaed during the January 6 criminal conspiracy investigation to get millions of dollars deposited into their bank accounts at taxpayer expense” voted down by Republicans

Fight.

Make up for the 8+ who caved.
WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”

Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

Yes. Names.

The time for decorum at the expense of the American people is over.

Wow.
They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

Actually, a great idea.
Karoline Leavitt does almost daily press briefings. There should be equal and opposite briefings from Democrat spokespeople to counter her lies. God knows there would be plenty of material to counter.

This, America. This.
Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.

YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

Wise words America.
Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal".

But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

100%
Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.

Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

The American people need more from their leaders.

BERNIE ON THE *DEAL* with Centrist Dems: “That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.”

Idiots.

@cortezmasto.senate.gov you know that part in movies when the bad guy has a gun to the friend’s head and tells them to put their weapon down and they won’t shoot the friend?

If they drop the weapon both die.

If they hold, there’s a chance they both live.

You all just dropped your weapon.

Reminder folks that the CR still has to pass the House AND IT SHOULD DIE THERE.

Make sure your rep is on board to vote NO.
