You won’t get back the hours of your life spent watching folks on TV talk about Trump’s trials and how he was finally gonna be held accountable. Or how DOJ was gonna save the day. Trump was NEVER gonna be held accountable. The system was designed to help men like him go free.
Trump is to accountability what Orson Welles was to Pole vaulting

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."
The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.
And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Please don’t think this beltway game of having retiring Dem senators vote yes while everyone else votes no is going to shield leadership from the end result. We see what is happening and can’t be fooled by those games.

You can’t win elections by losing negotiations.
On Tuesday voters showed the fuck up in an off year, after a brutal year fighting prevent the worst abuses of power.
And Dems in Congress take that gift, that sacrifice, and are poised to secure zero policy wins based on it.
Feckless losers.

3. We need to move back as soon as we can to fighting Trump, united and forceful, as the voters who gave us that big win Tuesday expect. Getting back to that fight is how we keep building momentum.

President Trump and his goons were happy to inflict maximal pain on people and our economy, while throwing extravagant parties and wasting enormous sums to turn the White House into a gaudy palace. Everyone saw that.

I voted no tonight.
But the next phase of Democrats’ health care affordability fight is starting.
While I personally don’t believe Republicans will keep their promise to work with us on lowering health care costs, I would be thrilled to be wrong.

Just a reminder, Trump said gasoline is $2 a gallon now so if you’re paying more at the pump they are ripping you off, skip it and keep driving until you find a nice $2 a gallon MAGA station. Especially if you have one of those big dumb pickup trucks the lil’ dick dudes drive.

The gratuitous violence being inflicted on Chicago would have been anathema during the U.S. military's counterinsurgency operations in Iraq.
And the "threats" Bovino claims CBP and ICE agents face there pales in comparison to Iraq.
They're weekend warriors with a sadistic streak.

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.
For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.
The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.
