Given their track record we cannot trust the Dem Cong Leaders to hold the line on govt funding/debt ceiling fights in closed rooms w/o a public commitment from them. They cannot give an inch to Rs unless there is a leg. deal to rein in the lawlessness. Must read from @joshtpm.bsky.social

The New York attorney general, Letitia James, has warned New York hospitals that complying with the White House’s executive order to end gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth could well violate state law.

Unfortunately, no matter how right this is, Democrats are once again caught in the position of being seen going all out to protect institutions, not people.

Imagine you're a career federal worker with deep expertise in your field and a track record spanning multiple administrations of both parties. Then you're get hauled in front of this little twerp to defend your value to "the organization."

Pathetic, @kaine.senate.gov. At the very least, you need to say "This administration is refusing to give Congress information we're legally entitled to, but based on the reporting it seems that Trump has given Elon Musk a dangerous and probably illegal amount of access to very sensitive data."

It's not unreasonable to want answers immediately from the President about why an Army helicopter was in front of a commercial jetliner, and to demand concrete steps to prevent it from happening again. Buck stops with him. Or is he too busy with golf, EOs, and fake bribery settlements?

This was an premature and irresponsible decision from the get go and the Trump regime has some explaining to do.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Was literally talking to the union representing federal air traffic controllers earlier today about how there’s already a major shortage of air traffic controllers and the resignation offers they all just got from OPM could seriously endanger public safety.

Senate Democrats did something good yesterday and they deserve credit for it. And who else deserves credit - everyone at Bluesky and all over the country who are pushing these guys to fight. Keep fighting. Don’t let up.

To the extent that neoliberal Democrats in control of prosperous ‘blue’ state governments are unwilling to tax the ultra wealthy to fill the coming void of services created by Trump’s executive actions, they’re complicit with them.

Michael Fanone, talking about all the people who said they would and failed to step up for the officers who were attacked: "There's a lot of John Fettermans in the world." Pretty much sums it up.

I guess it's only been a day since Trump revoked EO 11246 but I'm surprised by how unready some Dems are to talk about it. This was LBJ's affirmative action order, Project 2025 called for getting rid of it - no one can be shocked here.

This idea that Democrats can somehow take a discussion about immigration and pivot it to economic policy is laughable. It’s a sign of hope that some Hill staffers get this and are pushing back.

Good to hear that staffs of courageous House Dems are pushing back hard against the milquetoast messaging from the Leadership- who simply aren’t doing enough to stand up to the regime. (Via @punchbowlnews.bsky.social) More of this please ↘️

Any Dems holding their version of dinner GOP held on night of Obama's 2009 inauguration to plot to thwart his agenda? One thing Kevin McCarthy got right that night and Dems should heed: "If you act like you're the minority, you're going to stay in the minority" www.huffpost.com/entry/robert...

Minnesota's Paul Wellstone inspired me to get into politics—he was a champion of workers, families, and all people. He told me you can be frustrated, and you can be angry, but there is no institution that will solely change from the outside. You have to shape it and reform it.

I really don't get how Democrats can be handed the easy layup of "Republicans are uniting to suppress the underage sex trafficking report about an unliked and unqualified nominee" and decide the best thing to do is minimize its importance.
