here's a concrete next step that you can ask your senators to do to replace Schumer
We need 24 Senators to replace @schumer.senate.gov as Senate Minority Leader.

To get there, we need 10 Senate Dems to request a special meeting with the conference chair w/ an agenda to remove Schumer and who would replace him. Schumer would b required to hold the meeting within 3. Then they vote.
The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.

a script from @indivisible.org! (I'm probably going to add how harmful this will be in Ossoff's reelection campaign, bc we'll be blaming the entire party when people's healthcare premiums are so high they can't afford insurance)

Let me get this right… a sufficient number Senate Democrats appear to be willing to reopen government to alleviate air travel for upper & upper-middle income people at the expense of access to healthcare for lower income people. Yes?

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

🚨 We’re hearing that Senate Democrats are on the verge of caving to Trump in another “Schumer Surrender.”

That means your Democratic senators need to hear from you right now.

curious to 'learn' today that leftists in san francisco hate mamdani because he likes housing and so he is more like scott weiner than dean preston which seems hard to believe at the very least

reading the mamdani font memes like they are teenage mutant ninja turtles memes works way better than you’d think it would

still just so blown away by this story!
so apparently the new mayor of sf, who has no political experience, gave the open supervisor seat to a 29 year old music teacher / entrepreneur with no political experience because she walked up to him at a night market and asked for the job, which is truly wild and rather unsettling!

what an exciting next chapter for the cliff house, which will be in the hands of a neighborhood nonprofit group! never expected such a happy ending to this story so this is amazing to see: www.sfgate.com/local/articl...

As federal funding for states shrink, people are taking back control, building public banks owned by communities.

Join a national conversation with movement leaders + Senator Elizabeth Warren to reclaim local funds for housing, climate & more!

in high school after the ap bio test we watched the 1980s bbc movie race for the double helix, in which jeff goldblum plays james watson in such an iconic performance we all became obsessed with jeff goldblum. apparently watson was a pretty terrible dude but his biopic was amazing

that's funny! nicokow.bsky.social says she is a pragmatic progressive but instantly blocked me for responding to a comment suggesting that my current state senator is not actually all that progressive

A shrewd political strategist, California Rep. Nancy Pelosi has had an unprecedented career in Congress. First elected in a special election in 1987, Pelosi went on to become one of the most effective leaders of the Democratic party. n.pr/4oNT0F6
