If you still have a subscription to the New York Times, cancel it. They had these emails for over a decade and some of the journalists worked for them.

Have you fired that useless sellout Schumer yet? Why should we trust you if enable his mealy mouthed cowardice? Call a special meeting with the conference chair and let preside over his own ouster. Merkley should replace him. Do the right thing.

People should contact their state Democratic Party leaders and tell them no money or volunteering until:
1. Schumer needs to be gone from the Senate
2. Any Democratic Senator up for reelection in 2026. … isn’t. They all go even if they voted no. No matter how much they make placating mouth sounds
1. Schumer needs to be gone from the Senate

80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate.
Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

I have been saying this for years. We need to pay our legislators better and publicly fund campaigns. Politics shouldn't be only a rich man's game.
ryan is right. people HATE hearing this. but it is just a matter of simple incentives. if you want a more representative legislature — and if you want a legislature more resistant to corruption — then you need to jack up the salaries. serving as mayor of NYC should net you a cool 500K *at least*
people hate hearing this but it's 100% true, creating a huge pay gap between political leaders, their staffs, and other elites is a recipe for corruption. of course the flip side of that is taxes on the rich should be jacked way the hell up

I've gone hoarse yelling that Dems need to crash Mike Johnson's daily press briefings with @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social Adelita Grijalva, a bible and a demand that Johnson swear her in.
I'm not sure why they refuse to give it just ONE try.
It seems like such a fucking obvious thing to do.
