This is just embarrassing stuff. You don't have to agree with every call the Harris campaign made to recognize that she was handed a very bad hand, played it as best she could, and staved off a generational bloodbath down-ballot. Give her her flowers.

Some set of Dems believe that this "let's take them at their word and try to work together" gambit will expose Trump's true nature. The only thing it actually does is get you booked on TV to hand Trump vaguely positive soundbites.

If that's your goal, then keep it up.
Ro Khanna on Fox News Sunday: "If the president has actually a good idea to bring manufacturing back, or to cut wasteful defense spending, or to make our food system safer and get additives out of our food, why wouldn't we want to work on things that are good for the American people?"

The end of December is usually a time for rest and recharging — but not this year. We’re busy growing our movement of local groups, pushing Democrats to use the power they have to safeguard our rights, and building up the resources we need to take on Trump 2.0 from day one.

Can we just admit that we NEED immigrants for our economy to run, from agriculture to high tech?

We’re a goddamn nation of immigrants, aren’t we? Let’s be proud of our immigrant heritage!

The common thread that separates tolerance and ignorance is perspective.

The shit talkers are always the ones who lack the capacity to see beyond their limited perspective.

Consider what it would be like to take a walk in someone else's shoes.

Progressive minds:

- Take a stand for what is right.
- Focus on people over processes.
- Have a solution-oriented mindset.
- Consider the future when planning for today.
- Question the validity of biases and assumptions objectively.
- Reject hatred and judgement.

Donald Trump's pick to lead the federal government's international news agency is an unhinged conspiracy theorist who lashes out at the press, hobnobs with far-right and antisemitic extremist outlets, and has criticized Fox News as “a globalist network.”

100% this.
This is a time that calls on us to be really clear about what our values are.

Democrats must stand unequivocally for the freedom, dignity, and opportunity for working people.

We need to fight for these values in a way that voters can actually see and feel.

Quid Pro Whoa: The Trump campaign made a $100,000 payment to RFK Jr.’s law firm — shortly after RFK Jr. dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Trump.

Last month, Trump named Kennedy as his choice to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.
