I’ve probably door knocked for @shaheen.senate.gov & @hassan.senate.gov more than our own senators. It is hard not to feel like they are selling out 24M Americans covered through the ACA for little more than a “promised” vote the House will likely not match & Trump would not sign. #MAPoli

Throughout the Cold War, Republican presidents from Eisenhower to Bush 41 warned that their Democratic opponents would be weak and feckless in facing the Russian menace.
One wonders what they would think of what happened in the Oval Office today.

From the very beginning, I've said the soul of the Democratic Party is the fight for working people.
We closed out our campaign last night with union leaders like Becky Pringle, @rweingarten.bsky.social, and Lee Saunders.
Today, we start rebuilding our party with workers at the forefront.

There is no greater indictment of our political media than the continued employment of this person.

According to oddsmakers Aaron Rogers has a 3 percent chance of winning the 2028 Presidency. This is 100 percent more than him ever winning another Super Bowl.

You can't abandon your allies to make new ones. Nor can you make people feel less than for making a choice you disagree with. We gotta lot work to do between now and 2026. The blame game needs to stop. Time to try listening to learn, and not respond, for a change.

At some point, a lot of people decided Democrats were no longer fighting for them. We need to listen to their concerns and figure out how to win them back, while upholding our values and defending those who rely on us for support and protection. (1/3)
