Right now, not next cycle, NOW.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Just gonna put it out there before Chuck Schumer floats it: we do not under any circumstances need to use this bump in democrat power to reach across the aisle and meet republicans halfway. They're bleeding; it's time to go for the jugular.

—Seattle mayor will take a while.
—RCV for Minneapolis mayor tomorrow.

What am I missing that you're watching?

And you can explore on my big board:

Tommy has a right to be mad. He deserves better than astronomically high healthcare costs for worse coverage.

It’s time the House showed up to work so we can do better by the millions of people like Tommy.

The single cheapest way to end FWA in Medicaid… is to guarantee EVERYONE in our boarders healthcare.

It’s also weird when the “Christians” don’t track on this. They forget the wealthy work less than the poor, yet they want to guarantee they dine in opulence.
Mike Johnson lies shamelessly: "Why do we say the Republican Party is the only one advancing common sense reform solutions? Because we've proven it. We did it in the big beautiful bill. We took a look at Medicaid & we took on that challenge. We took action to reduce fraud, waste & abuse in Medicaid"

It can often feel like these fascists will never be held to account.

Remember, they wear masks for a reason. They use Signal for a reason. They block the press for a reason.

They do not even believe in themselves. They are scared their coup will be foiled—and they’re right to be, because it will.
It’s clear who the aggressors are. Keep remaining nonviolent, and record EVERYTHING. All of these masked ICE thugs will be held accountable.

It’s designed to cross people’s “line in the sand” so he can claim insurrection
I despise the "distraction" narrative. Trump's videos dumping shit on protesters isn't designed to be a distraction. It's designed to say that he simply does not give a shit about people who are opposed to him, and tells his supporters they don't have to either.
Obama: The weird videos of a U.S. President with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet and dumping poop on protesting citizens… All of that is designed to distract you from the fact that your situation has not gotten better.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Dear Democratic Party,

Maybe now is a good time to come up with food banks and donation centers to make sure families don’t go hungry during the Epstein Recess.

I mean, beyond this being a smart strategic move (the party cares about you), it’s the right thing to do.

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

Trump has believed, since his first term, that the U.S. treasury is his personal piggy bank (as he did with his personal charity). The entire purpose of his presidency is to funnel as much of it as he can to himself and his family
Trump: "It's awfully strange to make a decision where I'm paying myself. But I was damaged very greatly and any money I would get I would give to charity."
