Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

Those complaining about infighting seem to be missing at least two things. 1. polls show most Americans already blamed republicans for this shutdown but I now worry the message sent by the dems this week will have changed that. 2. this has never been a left/ right fight but a fight against fascism.
For the first time all year, Democrats were riding high and the regime was on the ropes.
If Senate leadership’s goal was to demobilize and depress rank-and-file Democrats, they could not have played their cards better.
This is why we’ve launched the largest primary program that we’ve ever run.

After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

This should have been the conversation after the election last year, this and the interplay of racism.
Separate from this I would also have loved more conversations about those who didn’t vote last election and stop chasing the imaginary moderate conservative votes.

@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social just thought this was a valid thought you should probably consider. You’re either on the side of democracy or you are complicit in its demise.
Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

This! MSM’s whitewashing of Kirk, the firing of Dowd, their gaslighting their audience and their catering to the twitter audience pours fuel on the fire. It deepens the divide and works to perpetuate a culture of hate, bigotry and violence.
The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

One thing I feel like we aren’t talking about that I just need to speak to as a female genxer. These letters are disturbing for sure but they also remind me of the disgusting way almost all men would talk about women when I was growing up.
The Epstein birthday book...is giving me The Burn Book vibes.
The obsession of possessing girls and women like they are collectibles to share with their buddies.
Cucks really just want to see different cucks, using their beautiful props like candy.
