The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

Chuck Schumer is totally out of step with the vast majority of Senate Democrats. If he can’t lead, he should step aside for someone who will.

these people swore an oath to defend the constitution but i guess that’s just too hard
Schumer tells me Republicans might try to jam Democrats again in September, but thinks Trump will be less popular then and Republican appropriators might be more willing to stand up to him. He said they refused to do so now.

AOC: It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect social security, protect medicaid, and protect medicare.

Enough with the decency.

Republicans have the football. Let them do what they do best— fail to govern. Stop giving them coverage and excuses to be bad at their jobs.

Talking to you Chuck Schumer and John Fetterman!

Per @anneapplebaum.bsky.social:

“One person who never talks about a cease-fire is Vladimir Putin. He does not talk about a cease-fire with his own people. He has at no time offered a cease-fire to the Ukrainians or the Americans.”
Trump Is Offering Putin Another Munich
Hitler didn’t want a peace deal, and neither does Putin.

Senator Adam Schiff is spot on.

Under Donald Trump, prices for working families are already increasing, while their retirement accounts are losing value.

Do not allow Trump or his MAGA cronies to convince you otherwise at tonight's address.

when Elon Musk started recruiting for DOGE last November, he said the work would be “tedious” and “compensation is zero"

now it turns out some DOGE operatives are earning six-figure salaries, one as high as $195,200, as much as a civil servant can legally make

Some DOGE Staffers Are Drawing Six-Figure Government Salaries
Engineers and executives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency are drawing healthy taxpayer-funded salaries—sometimes from the very agencies they are cutting.
