Every morning I’m like What now?
This account is mostly political. It’s where I go to discuss the ongoing shit show, exchange ideas on how to push back against trump 2.0, and vent. Happy to engage in challenging discussions but maga is blocked on sight.

I (and others) have caught a lot of flak on here for calling out the pathetically tepid response to trump’s unexpected rapid dismantling of the federal government.
The main question I get is “what can a minority party do” and here are some of my ideas…would love to hear yours!

This is the problem. Chuck Schumer thought he was playing a political game not realizing it’s people’s lives he’s using as bargaining chips. When will we vote in politicians that truly speak for the people they claim to represent?

Every single time you see a republican pretending to celebrate Veterans Day today never forget that they have no problem with Veterans going hungry because of lost SNAP benefits or losing healthcare coverage in the form of eliminated ACA subsidies

Honestly we should consider primarying every single incumbent democrat next year
Yup. I said this earlier today, but it was only a guess. Thanks for confirming it. It is no coincidence that of the 8 who came forward to do this, none of them are running in 2026. But they ran cover for some who are.

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.
YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

It’s like the Republicans are supposed to think that they’ve now done something right by not doing what is illegal in the first place.

@schumer.senate.gov don’t tell us about how you’re fighting when you are letting your caucus surrender.
You are unfit to lead the party anywhere other than over a cliff and need to step out of your leadership role immediately.

Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting

The GOP bragged they’d never negotiate — that they didn’t need Democrats.
Then they shut down the government, threw parties at Mar-a-Lago, and kept Congress on vacation while Americans missed paychecks.
Polls were turning on them.

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels.
The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

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.

Don’t come on social media now and tell us you’re fighting for the ACA, no one here is going to buy it

For years I’ve led the effort to put in place the ACA enhanced premium tax credits.
No one in the Senate wants to extend these more than me. This deal is our best path to get that done.
