#ProudBlue Schumer needs to go - full stop. The 6 traitors who aren’t retiring need to be primaried by candidates who will put the people first. If they think we won’t remember this in 2028/2030, they think wrong!

Even if SCOTUS limited the IEEPA, Trump would surely find another legal way to impose taxes without asking Congress. Backup plans are slow, painful, and frustrating, but Trump’s ego thrives on chaos. Still, the Court might finally put a pebble in his shoe… for a while.

Let's remember those who fought for democracy here and abroad and give thanks to all... Senator Tammy Duckworth served our country and continues to! @duckworth.senate.gov has been a great representative for the state of Illinois and our veterans.

Let’s see. Trump is saying the economy is great, prices are down, Obama is not an American, Obama receives money from Obamacare … and on and on and on. Damn, this lying hate-filled old man is exhausting. #ProudBlue

We need Strong Democrats with NEW ideas leading us, not cowards who want to throw in the towel because they're too lazy to fight for those in need. These individuals have the best health insurance anyone could wish for, which is paid for by taxpayers.

When the issue of Healthcare being taken because dems voted to reopen government, he said that dems like Newsome are making this out to be bigger than it is, and that this issue is MEDIOCRE at best.. and he was literally laughing while he said it.

Pay attention Democrats!

Don't change your party affiliation.

Primaries are important. If you leave the party you may not have the opportunity to vote in the primaries!

Don't leave! Stay mad and vote the traitors out!

Hey everyone,
I see a LOT of people so furious at Dems they're registering as Independents.

I get it. I really do.

Just be aware that most states have closed primaries so you won't be able to vote in those. And as you smart folks know, primaries are critical to weed out wackos and bad bills.

Be of hearty spirit, the holidays draw near.
If we act with alacrity and good cheer,
Swift & secure will the planes be a flying.
Family tables laden, plump turkeys a lying.

Give thanks for family, health, & the USA.
For next year all may be torn asunder.

I think the time is NOW to encourage @aoc.bsky.social to primary the current complacent complicit senate minority “leader” who continues to rely on his brother, Robert, a longtime partner at complacent complicit Paul Weiss.
NY deserves a strong, fierce Senator.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

This is Convicted Felon Donald Trump's legacy: killing people during Covid in his 1st term, and starving low income Americans in his 2nd term.

All while he dines on expensive steaks and laughs at you. Even if you voted for him.

"Any other president might have had the grace to praise his party’s candidates or at least keep his mouth shut. Not Trump. He viewed the GOP’s debacle as an opportunity to promote himself." As ever, ungracious in defeat.

G. Maxwell, Epstein’s partner in crime, wants her federal sentence, set to keep her locked up until 2037, cut short. Because apparently orchestrating a global sex trafficking network now comes with a side of audacity and a sprinkle of entitlement.
