Zohran Mamdani doesn’t make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe.

Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.

Took our K students to the central library today and their excitement over books and the beauty of the space was so lovely! Free field trips rock but if you’d like to sponsor a future trip for our babies… let me know ❤️

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

"Why can't you just work together?"
"How much do you want Social Security to be cut by?"
That's the answer to give. There's very obvious reasons we can't "just work together".
Shaheen: "When I talk to my constituents in New Hampshire, you know what they say to me? They say, 'Why can't you all just work together to address the problems that are facing this country?'"

This woman’s campaign was a social experiment to see how far I’d have to be pushed to simply leave governor blank on my ballot.

I hate that people are fighting to keep their $500 a month healthcare premiums from going to $2000+ a month.

$500 a month is more than most people can afford and healthcare should be a basic human right.

I hope we can use this as an opportunity to fight for Universal Healthcare. It’s time!

My hot take is that every Senator who voted against healthcare should lose their cushy government healthcare.

Schumer should lose his healthcare.

Let these folks experience the terror they’re inflicting on their constituents to remind them what they’re fighting for.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
so currently defectors are:

Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

I'm legitimately confused about the play here. No person who now is going to go without coverage in the ACA is going to just blame the GOP. They will rightly blame the Democrats too. Dems won't get "points" for "fighting" if they cave. It makes little sense.

Primary everyone. Every. One. For, if nothing else, not ousting professional loser Schumer from his position. They are fundamentally disinterested in helping you. They all gotta go. All of them. Even the ones I like. You gotta replace everybody with a progressive or a socialist.

Most of y’all are old enough to remember but it bears repeating, Democrats couldn’t peel off a single member of the Republican caucus in the initial fight to enact the ACA, even after they watered down the plans to attract them.

Republicans got 8 Democrats in what’s essentially a vote to repeal.
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis

For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

We will keep fighting

Congratulations Abigail Spanberger.

I can't wait to work alongside my union siblings to force her to go back on her campaign promise of not repealing right to work.

The Democratic Party would do well to look to the social programs of the Black Panther Party as inspiration if SNAP disappears on Saturday. Just running party-sponsored food drives and regular party-sponsored spaghetti dinners in some major cities would be both helpful and good PR.

Not trying to pick on Gallego in particular or anything but when people ask me what the difference between a skilled on-camera performer like Mamdani and a charismatic, practiced public speaker but with no on-camera training is, this video is a good example of the latter
Trump’s tearing down the East Wing to build himself a $350M ballroom while Americans struggle to afford health care.

Senator Ruben Gallego went to the site of the Trump teardown.

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull”

First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided.

With me so far? 1/x

CNN confirms that multiple sources suggest Graham Platner knew his tattoo was a Nazi symbol years prior to launching his campaign — and is now blatantly lying about it.

The best Startrek Online game wouldn't be a traditional MMOG format, but rather a peer to peer experience.

You create a starship (game server) and any number of junior characters.

You can spend time in your ship just doing cosy stuff like maintenance puzzles, side quests and so forth.

Then...
