Dear Tiny Group of Followers: You get lots of fundraising appeals, but this one helps you punch way above weight ☺️, helping feed food-insecure kids during holiday break when there's no school lunch to be had.
Got $20? $10? Maybe just $5? A crowd of per-donor matchers will add almost $100 to it. 🎉

The sooner Schumer has been removed as leader, the sooner we'll get past the internal recriminations.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

Dear Pete - Maybe you could manifest that sentiment in your 2nd paragraph the next time you're tempted to mirror Gavin's and Rahm's rightward retreat that parrots Republicans' framing about our trans siblings.

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.
The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

“Hopefully the Republicans may hear us” may be the dumbest sentence I’ve heard uttered since her colleague from Maine said Trump “learned his lesson” after his first impeachment.

Democratic organizers did our fucking part. We gave Democrats a clean sweep on Tuesday so Chuck Schumer have leverage to negotiate.
Instead, either because of malice or sheer fucking incompetence, he is letting his caucus fold like fucking cowards.

This sucks dude. EVEN if Thune isn’t lying to you about the vote, the House won’t hold a vote.
You got nothing, and just proved to the public that the shutdown was your fault.
And you proved to Republicans that they can weaponize hunger. You negotiated with terrorists

Hey @roycoopernc.bsky.social, constituent here. Now would be a *really* good time to speak up. Vichy Dems in the club Senate just spit in the faces of the volunteers and voters who showed up in droves last week and who you're going to need - desperately - to do the same next year. Anything to say?

Senate Democrats are the worst fucking political operators on the planet. Just fucking embarrassing.
Tuesday put the Senate in play. Sunday is going to put it out of play.

Trump: "We'll never agree to give any substantial money or any money to prisoners, illegals. And I think the Democrats understand that. And it looks like we're getting close to the shutdown ending."

I will never stop being annoyed at the way political commentators name their YouTube videos. Trump is always getting DESTROYED or EXPOSED or is UNRAVELING or PANICKING and I just hate it that's all because none of those things are actually happening.

The #1 way to explain America working properly is by saying “comedians can make fun of he President on TV.” A good way to explain fascism is “the President forces companies to fire those comedians as a condition of allowing them to conduct business.”
