DNC Aiming To Reconnect With Working-Class Americans With New ‘Hamilton’-Inspired Lena Dunham Web Series

[getting the shit kicked out of me] this is illegal actually!

hakeem jeffries' wife packing up to go stay at her parents because she asked him to wash the dishes and he stood in front of the sink throwing his hands in the air and saying "what can i do, the water isn't even on"

If only there was an opposition party to effectively communicate these terrible things that are happening. Instead we have a Dem Party that just posts stupid memes & chooses to sit back & let Republicans decimate our government in the hope that voters angry with the destruction lead to narrow wins.

New: The Energy Department is seeking to bring back nuclear energy specialists after abruptly telling hundreds of workers that their jobs were eliminated, according to two people familiar with the matter

Adolf Hitler, you are gay, sir. Check and mate.

America is falling to fascism & is currently in the midst of a constitutional crisis & the opposition party is doing this instead of protesting & doing everything they can to stop it. At least do something performative like a sit in. Risk getting arrested for a good cause. Literally do anything!

I don’t even know what’s real news and what’s satire anymore.

No one has tried this before, let's see how it plays out.

Democrats looking toward the midterms are foolish. It hasn't even been 3 weeks and Trump has destroyed critical components of the government. By the midterms, it will be too late.

Pretty awesome to be actively living through a chapter of a future history book about the collapse of American Democracy and rise of Christofascism. In this chapter we see the weak, seemingly non existent defense of the opposition that allows things to continually get worse.

If the average voter only has the choice between the Republicans or the Republican-lite agenda establishment Dems keep pushing, they will always just vote for the real thing. Expect right wing populist radicals to continue winning every other election cycle, slowly chipping away Democracy.

We need a national Progressive Party, separate from the Democrats.

enough is enough. democratic leadership in congress needs to act now and text me saying they need five to ten dollars

The greatest moment in broadcast television history.

BROWN: Would you support getting rid of school lunch for vulnerable kids and getting rid of childhood cancer research? REP. MCCORMICK: Philanthropy is where you get most of your money for childhood cancer research. When you talk about school lunches, hey, I worked my way through high school.

lots of things are bad right now but at least we are alive at the same time as nerds gummy clusters

Everyone at the top of the Democratic Party needs to be fired. The most out of touch, un relatable and gerontocratic people ever. The Dem party will continue to win every once in a while, but the majority of elections in the future will go to the Republicans, unless something significant changes.

time to be a helper

Over and over again, it is clear: the generation of leaders that got us into this mess won’t be able to get us out. We need new people to get in the fight.

The failure of basic public relations under Biden is a level of disaster that remains almost impossible to believe. Because, unfortunately, vibes actually do shape political reality, not legislation. TikTok's fucking ban message is just one more nail in the coffin of Biden's legacy.

important information before anticipated mass immigration raids next week . . .

Dems are still operating in a political paradigm where the public has a set of concerns, roughly reflecting the reality of life in America, and elections are about who addresses them better. But that is not the political paradigm we’ve lived in, for a long time, and we’re getting further from it.

NEW: A study by Yale University and other institutions has found that the Gaza war death toll is likely 41% HIGHER than Palestinian health officials reported. It also found that over 59% of those killed were women, children and people over the age of 65. www.reuters.com/world/middle...

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

American gerontocracy...

The most insanely American thing ever

In the end, it was the eyebrows that did him in.

As Dems reelect a spritely 74-year-old Chuck Schumer as Senate Leader, this is a reminder that U.S. politicians are the oldest of any democracy, despite the U.S. having one of the youngest populations.

United Health CEO is assassinated in NYC. Wall Street: this is good.

It’s giving late stage capitalism

I simply do not see Chuck Schumer doing this.

Democrats love losing, it’s what they do best. Keep doing the same thing and expecting different results. 4 years from now they will probably throw Newsom or Shapiro on the ticket instead of a progressive populist that appeals to the average, non-wealthy American.

"The ‘moderates’ got *their* candidate in every single election in which the Republicans nominated Trump: 2016 Clinton, 2020 Biden, 2024 Harris… and they lost to Trump two out of three times. And now they’re going to blame *the left* for that? No f*cking way." My rant:

Trump has tapped Project 2025 leader Russ Vought to lead the Office of Budget & Management, which is the “nerve center of the federal gov” (per Vought). Last year, Vought tweeted that he was “proud to work w/ William Wolfe to scope out a sound Christian Nationalism.” 1/

The more the Democratic Party pushes their Diet Republican agenda, the more they will lose. Progressives are done choosing between the right and the lesser right. For all the people who thought running with Liz Cheney while simultaneously throwing uncommitted Muslims to the side was a good idea. 👇

We will never out republican republicans. Democrats should be the party that helps people- and starts with those struggling the most for the common good. Anyone missing this point should be fired from “strategizing” for the party.

This is what David Duke was up to in the late ‘70s.
