Okay, new thread specifically for Progressive candidates running in 2026, because half of the old thread is now out of date with the election passing. Starting with who else but Kat Abughazaleh, for Illinois CD-9. www.katforillinois.com
Kat for Congress | Kat Abughazaleh for Illinois' Ninth District
Kat Abughazaleh is running for Congress in Illinois' Ninth District because Democrats need to do more to stop Trump and fight for working people.

Rather than rant about caving to GOP in shutdown deal, democrats need to double down on open, swing, & dummymandered districts in 2026

Trump signals no shutdown compromise with Democrats as senators schedule rare weekend session

Promise of compromise on ACA after passing GOP's CR is meaningless with Trump demanding no compromise

The only exception to that is with respect to reductions in force (RIFs). The bill appears to both roll back RIFs announced during the shutdown and prevent any further RIFs between now and Jan 30.
RIF language 1 RIF language 2 RIF language 3

I see nothing in here that would require the White House to actually spend any available funds, prevent rescissions or withholding of payments, or do anything to change what has become an unsettling status quo in this calendar year.

This is the third U.S. Attorney found to be unlawfully appointed. The other two are Sigal Chattah and Alina Habba. Their indictments stand because they were signed by other prosecutors. Not true for Lindsey Halligan.

Congress is responsible for setting tariffs. See the Constitution.

But Speaker Johnson has surrendered Congress’ power to Trump. He changed the rules to prevent votes in the House on tariffs—a tax on families—because he knows even Republicans don’t like Trump’s costly trade policy.

A third Trump-installed U.S. Attorney just ruled unlawful— a strategy to bypass Senate oversight and politicize justice. But accountability isn’t optional.

Three unlawful appointments isn’t a coincidence—it’s a pattern.

Trump’s hiring strategy is loyalty over legality. At this rate, “unlawfully appointed” might as well be a job title.

If your prosecutors aren’t lawfully appointed, your justice system isn’t just.
