I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

I think there are more Dem Senators that are complicit. These are just the ones not up for re-election any time soon. Games are being played….again.
Never forget who sold us out:

Hassan
King
Cortez-Masto
Shaheen
Kaine
Fetterman
Durbin

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Is this what will happen? Govt will reopen, the vote in December will happen and fail, health subsidies will expire in January, and the govt will shut down again in January, at which point the middle class will be feeling the pinch?

Acts of political violence aren’t acceptable. Non-political school shootings aren’t acceptable. Sacking the legislature isn’t acceptable. Military occupation of peaceful American cities isn’t acceptable. Abductions conducted in courthouse hallways by masked agents of the state aren’t acceptable.

Every Republican senator voted to confirm RFK Jr. as health secretary except for Mitch McConnell, who is retiring and thus was under no re-election pressure.
The entire Republican Party has embraced anti-vax policies. It is pro-polio, pro-measles, pro-Covid. It's a death cult.

I really do not understand it. There are few Democratic leaders who have risen to this moment. There is no serious opposition party in the US right now. It's frigthening.
If you had told me 30 years ago that Michael Luttig and Bill Kristol would have a clearer understanding about what's going on than a lot of Democratic leaders, I'd have wondered whether you tried the brown acid.
Luttig is communicating vastly more clearly and honestly about Roberts and Scotus than most Democratic officials are. It’s absolutely flabbergasting.

Who's the next Democrat that's gonna come out swinging? Who's gonna go on the attack? Who's gonna figure out a way to get it done regardless of the obstacles in place? If you can't see that there's an insatiable appetite for fighters and brawlers on the left, open your eyes.

Every Democratic member of Congress should be in the streets of DC saying this dangerous authoritarian escalation must stop. Do they not grasp what’s going on here?

Trump is turning the 250th anniversary of America's independence into A PROMOTIONAL EVENT FOR THE UFC.

It's a massive payoff for UFC CEO Dana White, who leveraged the UFC to rally support for Trump among young men.

The UFC fight will take place on the White House lawn on July 4, 2026, to celebrate the 250th anniversary of America's independence.

Narrator: the Democrats failed to get out of their own way once again.
This is a real test for Hakeem Jeffries. Will he abstain and hope Trump’s guy can win to protect the NY machine?

Or will he back the guy Democratic voters picked who could also signal the rise of a new generation of progressive NY Dems?

Decisions…

Pandemic preparedness in the US has been leveled a crippling blow with the cancellation of multiple #BARDA contracts to help develop mRNA vaccines. No other vaccine platform produces vaccine so quickly; without mRNA, Americans will have a long wait for pandemic vax. www.statnews.com/2025/08/05/m...

RFK Jr. is considering dismantling the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. This would be a disaster for public health.

This is the kind of action the Democrats should have been doing all along.
With floor action ground to a halt by Speaker Johnson over Dem amendments on the Epstein files, House Democrats are now using them to jam up committees.

Includes Appropriations, Energy & Commerce, Financial Services, and Education & Workforce, which just shut down as Rs try to figure what to do:

I fully agree but while we the ordinary people are doing everything we can to fight back we are missing leadership by people in positions to make immediate change. We can’t wait to vote the right person into office. The change must happen now before it’s too late.
