Lifelong Democrat. Consistent, reliable Dem voter (40+ years). Would like all elected Democrats to DO SOMETHING. Ready to support and actively participate in primarying incumbents with all my heart and soul.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

If Mamdani had eschewed those attacks to say ‘Cuomo will answer for his conduct when he meets his maker, I’m here to talk about affordability,’ Cuomo may have done better. Making Cuomo’s character salient was decisive to NY voters I know personally.

These 8 useless Democratic Senators are all wealthy and have feathered themselves a lovely retirement nest.
They don't need to be in these positions anymore.
They can amble away into the privileged nothingness that defines their spinelessness and lack of courage.
Demand more and better, folks.

@alsobrooks.senate.gov Senator, as your constituent, I request that you vote NO on the current deal to end the shutdown. It is an unwarranted cave and would be a terrible and weak message for democrats to send to a public that’s really opposed to this administration.

NEW: Paul Newby, a born-again Christian, has turned his perch atop North Carolina’s Supreme Court into an instrument of political power.
Over two decades, he’s driven changes that have reverberated well beyond the borders of his state.

Federal workers aren’t getting paid, but of course Kristi Noem gets two private jets costing taxpayers $172 million.
Nothing new from the people who are also sending $40 billion to Argentina while refusing to fund our own government. Shameful.

There's no dignified way for Democrats to participate in a process where their negotiating partners insist on the right to cheat and steal. And, in a bigger picture sense, there's probably no way at this point to build a working democracy through normal politics. www.offmessage.net/p/gut-check-...

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

"There is no such thing as a classic “clean CR” because Trump has claimed dictatorial power to break the law, and demanded the only real concession: That Congress implicitly sanction his lawbreaking. "
I titled this piece “A Betrayal,” and I stand by it, but there was more at work here than cravenness. There was also strategic haplessness, though the latter surely stems in part from the former. Let me explain. www.offmessage.net/p/a-betrayal
A Betrayal
Senate Democrats didn't just squander an opportunity to rein in Donald Trump and Elon Musk. They confirmed all the stereotypes that have made them toxic to progressives and swing voters alike.
