On Tuesday, Americans sent Democrats a resounding message.
“Fight for us”
“Fight for working class Americans”
“Fight against Trump’s corruption, criminality and cruelty”

2) Watch for the next thing to be an early cutoff for open enrollment.
3) We really need an age limit for Democratic Party leadership.

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.
If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

Important to remember that the concept of objective, view-from-nowhere journalism was commercially successful b/c it ran counter to the papers of the day that were started to advance specific agendas. In the last 20 years, many of those pubs got bought and are now leveraging that hard-earned trust.
They gutted the Washington Post. CBS. NYT. Now Teen Vogue.
The point isn't to bring in more conservatives. They've reached that saturation point.
They are killing the fourth estate and buying up the social media to control the messages we see. These were all targeted to disarm the left of truth.

If you were to posit that the biggest problem in the country over the past 2 decades is not the GOP but rather leadership of the Democratic Party, I honestly don't know that I could disagree.
NEW: When Mallory McMorrow conveyed her plans to run for Senate, DSCC asked her to hold off, per 3 sources.
More calls, some staff level; same result.
Per one source: “It was, ‘Can you wait a little longer, can you wait?’”
McMorrow defied them and launched.

Democratic anger at their own party fuels 2026 primaries
With the party's image at record lows and declining even among Democratic voters, candidates for Senate see an opening to win by positioning themselves against leaders.
