Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting

Democratic leadership has again made a tragic miscalculation. They saw that voters turned out in force last week and thought it was because of the generic 'healthcare' issue.
No.
Voters showed up because they *finally* saw Dems fucking fighting.
Will they never understand....

“Well… we can’t just keep filing impeachment articles all the time.”
Yes you can! If the man is committing impeachable offenses on the regular, you’re acquiescing to a standard that raises the bar for impeachable offense to absurd levels.

How are voters meant to understand how serious things are if in lieu of shouting fire AND going into building with hoses, you're simply posting fire safety suggestions on social media?
Not introducing articles of impeachment is a message that Trump hasn't committed impeachable offenses.

All three are Republican appointees: the two Trump appointees in the majority and a Bush II appointee in the minority.
One of the Trump appointees, Lawrence Van Dyke, posted a youtube video some months back of him loading guns in his chambers.

By retreating only to "kitchen table issues" to avoid being labeled "woke," Democratic leaders have left an open goal for the GOP. When you treat the harassment of vulnerable communities as a "distraction" rather than a crisis, you're not avoiding a fight: you're just forfeiting it.

The split-screen here is unbelievable - first from yesterday, the others from 2017. Musk’s Twitter has truly driven us mad. People absorb far more of their beliefs from their social environment than they realize, and we’ve created an environment where being a gutter bigot is the baseline expectation

This will require a change to the entire internal operation of the post office. It will cost taxpayers millions to get worse service and more barriers to mail-in voting.
It seems that the only thing republicans know how to do is to make our lives harder and worse.

This is a good visual. Looks like in order to ensure we have proof that we mailed something on a specific day, we will have to stand in line at the post office and request a manual post mark.

The fact that prominent Dems haven't talked like this in forever is a big clue as to what the party actually stands for.
Mamdani rejected Bill Clinton's "the era of big government is over."
"To those who insist that the era of big government is over, hear me when I say this—no longer will City Hall hesitate to use its power to improve New Yorkers’ lives."
Instead, he recalled New Deal boldness & experimentation.
