Time for new leadership. Democratic Party needs a major makeover.

submitted 9 hours ago • 73 comments

No leader should by his decision create so much disunity and anger in his own party. That alone is political malpractice.

By supporting this NOT CLEAN CR, you are literally empowering Trump Musk and them to continue to dismantle the government and fire civil servants. So, is it really about a shutdown? They are already shutting it down!

Authoritarians govern through fear, not legislation. The simple fear of what they would do in certain situations can push even the opposition to capitulate. That’s success for them. We lose when we fold due to a hypothetical. We win when we challenge the REALITY that is hurting working people.

Schumer wants us to believe Senate Dems are powerless while literally providing the votes to ensure the GOP agenda goes forward. If a shutdown was better for Trump, the House GOP wouldn't have passed this CR and the Senate GOP wouldn't vote for it. Schumer knows that; he's outright lying to us.

@schumer.senate.gov if this CR vote goes through, you’ve lost a registered Democrat. I’m switching to an independent. I’m tired of you not fighting for us. If you don’t have the backbone, fine, but you should’ve gotten out on the way for someone who does.

Look I agree that Elon Musk appears to be on a lot of drugs every time he appears in public. That's not very interesting to me. I'm more interested in how many drugs he can do at once. I think he could probably do more than anyone ever. I bet he could take way more than the doctors say is safe.

Excuse me while I vent for a moment SHE IS THE APPROPRIATIONS CHAIR. SHE CAN SUBPOENA OFFICIALS, HOLD TELEVISED HEARINGS, HOLD UP ANYONE’S FUNDING, ZERO OUT THE WHITE HOUSE’S FUCKING ICE CREAM AND DIET COKE BUDGET, AND ENFORCE THE APPROPRIATIONS LAWS THAT ARE THE SOURCE OF HER PERSONAL POWER.

@zavalaa.bsky.social Hello Ashley. I really admire your no nonsense approach to California politics. I know you are a capital, but I am wondering if you would consider trying to get some of the local reps on record. I call Kiley’s office daily but no response to the Musk treasury takeover.

The NYT asked me to write an op-ed on Musk and the Treasury and then took a pass. I hope it will still get read.

This is the energy we need in the Senate right now. President Trump can’t do blatantly illegal things and expect a normal confirmation process. He wants to screw our systems to enrich corrupt billionaires? We will defy the norms for THE PEOPLE.

1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love. I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.”

Washington is full of rule-following valedictorians who were inspired by the West Wing and did Model UN and moot court and studied their heroes and who believe in using government to help people. That's nice, but you need to learn how to swing on the illiterate bullies who steal lunch money.

if a major politician held an emergency rally about the current ongoing coup by the richest man in the world, I think people would go to it. Shit is well and truly fucked. I can think of a couple of people who should do that right now.

Shout out to @aoc.bsky.social @jasmineforus.bsky.social and @maxwellfrost.bsky.social for being the best communicators in the party and talking to us regularly and clearly. Everything feels bad but I feel calmer listening to all of you.

The problem isn’t government waste. The problem is that billionaires don’t pay taxes.
