I wish we were living in a different timeline, but in this one we have to have the courage to speak up and, as they say, "meet the moment." And I predict you will. www.niemanlab.org/2024/12/well...
We’ll draw the lines we will not cross

“I’ve been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, ‘What’s the point of standards?’” one CBS source said.

And the Dems folded while he was fighting to keep starving Americans as he did this and knocked down part of the WH for a ballroom no one asked for.
Look at what this garish, classless, tasteless fool has done to the People’s House.

I forgot that @schumer.senate.gov is on Bluesky.

Maybe we should create The Baileys’ account on here to see if he will listen to his imaginary family that aren’t his real constituents.
Add a new name to the list of House Democrats calling for Schumer to resign: Rep. Veronica Escobar tells @axios.com he "should not" remain as leader.

She joins:
Glenn Ivey
Ro Khanna
Delia Ramirez
Seth Moulton
Shri Thanedar
Rashida Tlaib
Mike Levin www.axios.com/2025/11/10/s...
Chuck Schumer faces mounting calls from Democrats to resign as Senate leader
A half dozen House Democrats called for the Senate leader to step aside this week.

She lost.

Chuck needs to realize his made up friends The Baileys aren’t his constituents.

They literally do not exist and they don’t represent what people who are actually real and actually voted for him actually want.

25 years ago today: the most consequential presidential election of my lifetime. 36 days later, it was effectively decided by the Supreme Court. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who voted with the majority, would later she regretted that the court accepted the case.
