Congressional Democrats are livid after a handful of their Senate colleagues voted Sunday to end the government shutdown. Chris Murphy called it a mistake. Bernie Sanders called it “a very bad night.” And Ro Khanna and Seth Moulton accused Chuck Schumer of being ineffective & called for his removal.

The Trump administration spent $167,000 to destroy $9.7 million worth of birth control and other contraceptives that were supposed to go to low-income countries. Imagine hating helping so much that you’d actually spend money just to make sure others don’t get help.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

It's Time for Democrats to Accept The Failure of Establishment Politics
If Democrats continue a top-down centrism that promises restoration while being beholden to billionaires & corporate donors, they'll continue losing elections & voters. Here's a better path.

“This is what happens when you fill a government with all of the most unqualified people ever to hold their roles.”
One thing that most people are missing in the group text scandal: The Trump officials don’t appear clear on what *exactly* Trump approved, which is a huge problem in using military force. Stephen Miller says “as I heard it … green light.” 😱😬 www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/six-short-...

Can you IMAGINE if Kamala Harris did something like this. Don't EVER say a WORD about DEI. So far we see a bunch of white male clowns making a mistake so egregious as likely to warrant a criminal investigation in a normal world. Imagine a lowly military grunt doing this.

Don't tell me that was the *only* time current members of the Department of Defense discussed top secret information on a public app.
Vladimir Putin, a former KGB agent, remembers a time when the United States was run by competent people and wasn't so easy to snoop on.

At this point, I think there needs to be a boycott of donations to all Senate Democrats until they force Chuck Schumer to step down as leader. Enough is enough.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.
