I'd rather see him fired out of a cannon into the sun, but I guess this'll have to do.
MoveOn, Indivisible, Our Revolution, and 6 Democrats have called on Chuck Schumer to step aside as leader.

So we asked all 40 Democratic senators who didn’t cave to Republicans if they still think Schumer is the right leader.

Here's what they said.

Furious Liberals Call for Schumer to Step Aside, Senate Dems Mostly Quiet
After their shutdown surrender, liberal lawmakers are begging their base to unite behind them anyway – as Trumpland celebrates that their opposition is a bunch of 'p*ssies.'

BREAKING NEWS: Mamdani set to establish a dictatorship of the proletariat in New York City.
This morning, I spoke at the SOMOS Labor Breakfast.

"We are not looking to remake New York City in my image. We are looking to remake it in the image of struggling workers across the five boroughs."

Nothing radicalizes people faster than an empty stomach. Republicans are playing with fire.
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

A New Hope was an allegory for the Vietnam War from the point of view of the Vietcong, so it already was happening in real life.
Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life?

Classic mandatory meeting that could've been an email
WAPO SCOOP: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered hundreds of generals to travel on short notice from around the world to hear him make a speech on military standards and the “warrior ethos,” multiple people familiar with the event told The Washington Post.

New details emerge on Hegseth’s unusual mass gathering of top brass
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has summoned hundreds of generals for what is expected to be a short lecture on the “warrior ethos.” But top brass is bracing for possible firings or demotions.

"Defect, G.I. It is a very good idea to leave a sinking ship."
For my latest, I talked with counter-recruiter Rory Fanning about how we should communicate with National Guard troops deployed in US cities, and how we might counter ICE's current recruiting blitz.
What Do We Say When the Soldiers Come?
"There is no honor in this mission," says counter-recruiter Rory Fanning.

The severe drop in Trump's approval among 18-29 year olds supports my theory that most young people weren't super right wing, they were anti establishment and fooled by false populism.

NEW: Mercenary spyware is coming to the US.

ICE just quietly unsuspended their contract with spyware maker #Paragon.

Remember them? Caught earlier this year being used to hack Italian journalists.

This is bad, let's talk about how we got here 1/

Exclusive: ICE reactivated its $2 million contract with Israeli spyware firm Paragon, following its acquisition by U.S. capital
The cyber division of ICE's Homeland Security Investigations on Saturday quietly lifted a stop-work order put into place by the Biden administration in October.

The Left was right about slavery, child labor, women’s suffrage, World War One, Civil Rights, LGBTQ rights, Vietnam, apartheid South Africa, the invasion of Iraq, Joe Biden’s mental health, Kamala Harris’s disastrous campaign, and Gaza.

The Left is Always Right Too Early
From slavery and child labor in the 19th century to the Iraq War and Gaza, the Left position has been accepted only after horrible human costs. Next time, how about listening before the damage is done...

In a just world the American Right would never politically recover from this.
Republicans pulled an all-nighter to:

-strip healthcare away from 17 million Americans
-take food assistance away from 3 million Americans
-eliminate school meal access for 18+ million kids
-send energy costs soaring
-add $3.3 trillion to national debt
-raise health care premiums for seniors
