Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.

This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

Holy shit! Democrats, if you’re looking for a fighter, you found one— @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social for DNC Vice Chair.

I can't wait to vote @schumer.senate.gov out of office. Truly the most useless pol on the "left" if you can even consider him a Democrat.
Shocking. Last night Schumer cut a deal with Senate GOP to expedite votes on Trump nominees.

Yesterday, Jeffries promised a "day of action" to focus attention on the funding freeze. You didn't hear about it bc they didn't organize it.

If you want Dems to unify & fight, come help us push them.

do we know anyone in a position of power, such as an elected official, who might assist in such an effort
History is littered with democracies that lost their freedoms without seeming to notice while it was happening.

Let’s not become one of them.

In light of recent events and the attempt to politically align Mario's brother, I don't think "far right" or "far left" are useful categories anymore. We need new, more nuanced language. (Which of course means that this would be a doomed project to begin with in a culture rooted in binaries.)
