Nothing says we need younger ppl in DC like seeing a picture of Mitch McConnel in a wheelchair passing another old Republican (I don't remember who) in a wheelchair. I'm old, my husband uses a wheelchair, so this isn't agism. There comes a time when it's time to let the next generation make rules.
Michael Cohen said he’s working on it. Also heard him say, “I know those republicans. I can reach across the aisle.” BZZZT…wrong answer, but thank you for playing. There will be no reaching, no walking, no jumping. Not even any looking across the abyss that is the fucking aisle.
Didn't the Trump administration try to have him executed first term? Remember that so-called fender bender that made him late to attorney general Barr's hearing? Doesn't seem like it was an accident.
why not? Lauren Boobert and the Peach Tree Dish Lady are there along with many unqualified Dumbasses, we need any smart people we can get... they didn't know anything about shit. hell, drumpf and peon have never had a real job in their lives... Just Do It
The party, like trump, loves loyalists. There is no good reason pelosi hás kept running unopposed. Except for Sanders and Warren all 70+ Democrats in Congress are ghosts. Jeffries must be primaried. He was in Chicago signing books while the country is in fire.
Wasn't he in jail? Was his crime a felony? If it was, Michael Cohen couldn't run. far more suitable people than an Ex Lawyer Cum Bouncer cum Handler, for years for the President.
As a NYCer by birth (although not there any longer), I'd prefer that Molly keep raising hell through journalism and residents instead elect who they should have last time as Mayor: Maya Wiley.
I was taken aback when I first read that you were. Not that it's a bad idea, but I didn't think that you were interested in diving into that end of the pool.
Now we all know that it was someone's pipe dream. 😆
As someone in the district and NYC politics, I've been thinking along similar lines @mollyjongfast.bsky.social. I have some ideas on who could pull it off with the right resources
I appreciate that he has seen the light and come to the blue side, but he has a lot more to prove before anyone will take him seriously in any kind of political position.
We call her Bimbert here in Colorado - she lives in my town and we’ve been bombarding her office with town hall requests. Her constituents have now put missing posters of her around the area.
What committee was Nadler ‘removed’ from? I can’t find any reporting anywhere, other than him voluntarily stepping aside so Raskin could take over as Chair. Nadler is still on the committee.
Oh hell no. I appreciate that he owns his mistakes, but he has too much baggage. He knows where the Trump bodies are buried and has never told the whole story. I’m sure he’s protecting himself, but we can do much better.
Old guard needs to step down. Nationwide. The day of the centrists is over. We need fire and guts. I love the old guard, but we need the warriors and the Valkyries now.
We really need a reset & new leaders in Congress.. the fact that this election has had so much discrepancies, Trump saying he does not need votes , and the mass chaos over the last 32 days with Schumer et al not able or capable of fighting back..shows how incapacitated & disconnected Democrats are
Have you ever seen the series 'The Magicians'?
Margo likes to say "don't cock out on me" or "ovary up" when things are getting tough.
Our women are the only reason we survived Nazis the first time around.
Heather Cox Richardson 'Democracy Awakening' is a must read.
message to the public; point being....women, women, women. A few men, but, women, women, women.
Unfortunately....
Americans. Gotta get the numbers to win. I think there are compelling arguments - "go left/go center-right" - but I just don't know which one wins and stops Trump and MAGA; I
don't even know if we ever have free or fair elections again.
And I suppose, don't forget 52% of white women voted for the Imperials (the irony of calling them "Republicans" when they've destroyed the Republic, is too big)
Sorry, this turned into more of a ramble-rant than I intended!!
We need a real fighter who has energy, intelligence, integrity and guts. We need someone who will put forth policies that help and serve the working class and the poor...not the wealthy. Someone who will do what is right no matter what.
Specifically, John Kennedy Schlossberg, President John F. Kennedy's only grandson, who happens to be living in New York's 12th Congressional District and is an active political correspondent.
We need a GOOD Kennedy to inspire a new generation of Ds.
Trump’s DOJ just set a terrifying precedent—one that could silence journalists, whistleblowers, and political opponents. Meanwhile, those in power look the other way. This article exposes the full story—and what we must do before it’s too late

Mr. Smith goes to Washington.
I’m ready to fire them all.
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
until then, I wish we could clone Jasmine Crockete a few thousand times
Guarantee I'm as frustrated as you are (at least)
Priority #1 has to be on the real enemy - MAGA, which is 100% all Republicans in congress and the entire Whitehouse
I'm nauseated just saying that
We need to fight them without tearing ourselves apart in the process
Now we all know that it was someone's pipe dream. 😆
Those that are putting in the work have nothing to fear from activism.
Anyone afraid of bold ideas to retake and rebuild need to go.

Will people never, ever learn?
New people. New ideas. New culture to match our current environment of politics.
Please…. 🙏
They just haven’t figured out that the rules of the game have changed…in that there are no rules anymore.
If you are silent on that then stop complaining about him. Demand an answer & be relentless. GO.

Would be groundbreaking.
DO IT !

And I'm not an SJW, I'm not a loud & proud feminist
**--BUT--**
Most of the people who've landed substantial blows on Trump, have been women. And mostly black women.
It's mostly (but not only) AOC and Crockett carrying any
