I wish we were living in a different timeline, but in this one we have to have the courage to speak up and, as they say, "meet the moment." And I predict you will. www.niemanlab.org/2024/12/well...
We’ll draw the lines we will not cross

Dems snatch defeat from the jaws of victory... again.

I forgot that @schumer.senate.gov is on Bluesky.

Maybe we should create The Baileys’ account on here to see if he will listen to his imaginary family that aren’t his real constituents.
Add a new name to the list of House Democrats calling for Schumer to resign: Rep. Veronica Escobar tells @axios.com he "should not" remain as leader.

She joins:
Glenn Ivey
Ro Khanna
Delia Ramirez
Seth Moulton
Shri Thanedar
Rashida Tlaib
Mike Levin www.axios.com/2025/11/10/s...
Chuck Schumer faces mounting calls from Democrats to resign as Senate leader

She lost.

Chuck needs to realize his made up friends The Baileys aren’t his constituents.

They literally do not exist and they don’t represent what people who are actually real and actually voted for him actually want.

25 years ago today: the most consequential presidential election of my lifetime. 36 days later, it was effectively decided by the Supreme Court. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who voted with the majority, would later she regretted that the court accepted the case.

I was scrambling to figure out how to pay for it, but I want to thank FIFA for making it extremely easy for me to save money.

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

He’s a billionaire but he still slurs his words with bad dentures.

How do people get inspired by this guy?

(Why does he talk like that? Did you hear how he said ‘filibuster’ ? Why are they so weird.)

My path crossed Jessica's a few times over the years and she was always an incredible ally and supporter. I felt like a misfit and she was one of the people that "saw me," was kind and supportive. She was cool people. I am shocked and saddened.
