This is the kind of action needed from our leaders. Enough of taking the moral high road just to prove we’re better than them (we are), start getting your hands dirty(ish). His plan is temporary so we have a fighting chance to save our country from fascism. We still take a higher road with that plan
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "Let's go. This is it. We need to wake up. We cannot survive if he rigs not just Texas, but he goes to Indiana, goes to Missouri, goes to Ohio, goes to Florida. We have to have other governors of like mind, and there are many, to now do something, not just say something."

The Democratic Party hasn’t worked for its own people in years. Now there’s a candidate who will actually fight for the people and the democrats are moving against him. If the republicans stay in power it will partly be because of the failure of the dems.
Seems like the Democratic establishment is underestimating the potential downside of extinguishing the enthusiasm for Zohran when it comes to other races down the line.

Then they’ll wonder why the energy isn’t there, and blame everyone but themselves.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Nothing has damaged our country more than super PACs and corporate PACs. It’s time to get big money out of politics and give that power back to the people.
We need a full-on ban on corporate PAC money. I’m one of six U.S. Senators who has never taken corporate PAC checks. Six out of 100. The middle class doesn’t have a lobbyist. They don’t have a super PAC. They don’t have a corporate PAC. But they should have the Democratic Party.

They want to give the richest 1% your family’s ENTIRE income every year in tax breaks.

And they want to kick your parents out of nursing homes and raise grocery costs for millions to do it. Really.

It’s conflict of interests on steroids, and the American people’s dime. They’re making decisions based on what’s going to make them the most amount of money, not what’s best for actual people.
AOC: How can anyone possibly make an objective vote on healthcare, energy, or war when their personal wealth is tied up in pharmaceutical, oil and gas, or defense company stock?

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident.

We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

This shouldn’t surprise anyone. It’s been obvious for years that the GOP hates democracy.
SEN. MURPHY: “Their #1 priority is Trump seizing power and MAGA holding it forever... with the exception of maybe 20 Republicans in the senate, the Republican Party inside Congress is done with democracy.”

(Spoiler: @MarshaBlackburn & @SenatorHagerty are not among the 20)

It’s time for @schumer.senate.gov to step down and allow some actual leadership to happen. If the dems don’t start meeting the moment and fighting back then we can say goodbye to our democracy.
"My message to the rest of the Democratic Party is if you are not willing to meet that bar, then step aside for somebody who will. Because we're at a moment right now where we do need people who are willing to fight, willing to show some spine, willing to break through in this media environment."

They’re tearing it all down.
Dismantle the social safety net.
Impose cost-hiking tariffs on the American people.
Cut taxes for the top 1%.

We all know who Trump and Congressional Republicans work for and it's not us.

Remember when Felon 47 said people would never have to vote again? What that meant was we wouldn’t be able to vote again. The horrors persist.
The SAVE Act would prevent millions of Americans from easily registering to vote, lead to purges of eligible voters, and criminalize simple mistakes from nonpartisan election officials.

The new legislation would require American citizens to produce documents like a passport or birth certificate to register to vote.

Just gonna say- Trump, Vance, and the entire GOP are disgusting mouth breathing assholes. They’ll take us to war against Greenland and Denmark for no other reason than their own bloated egos.
JD Vance:

"We do not think that military force is ever going to be necessary... Because we think the people of Greenland are rational and good, we think we're going to be able to cut a deal, Donald Trump style."

Trump will coerce Greenland through the threat of force into being ruled by the US.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social is showing real leadership and has quickly become a steadying voice in all the chaos. If he doesn’t run for president, I’ll be shocked. He’s taking up the mantle for the people, much like @sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Really liking what @repjasmine.bsky.social has been saying and the stand she’s been taking. It’s refreshing to hear someone who speaks like a normal person. No kowtowing or playing nice, just the blunt truth. We need more of this.
So let me get this straight—Trump’s nat sec adviser added a JOURNALIST to a group chat on classified Yemen strike plans?? This isn’t a group project, it’s national security.

They screamed “Lock her up” over emails, but leaking war plans is cool now? Make it make sense.
