In general I am annoyed at people like Matt treating this as if we “only” put a tariff on finished manufactured goods. No, we hit all the raw material inputs and equipment necessary for industrialization because the president is dumb and just likes tariffs. Manufacturing output is going down not up.

"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say

In this interview Schumer says he agrees with Trump’s decision to pull $400 million from Columbia. A university in his own state. And he’s unconcerned about the unlawful arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, one of his constituents. He is a traitor who needs to resign.

From inside the DoD: “Schumer's bungling over the past two months & creation of this lose-lose scenario is a complete dereliction of his duties. This was the sole moment where they had any real potential leverage to stand up and fight for the Constitution & they completely blew it from day 1.”

Call your senate Dems and say in no uncertain terms your continued donations and your vote in the primary are gone if they do not immediately support removal of Schumer as Dem leader. We need to get this guy's boot off the neck of the party.

If Dems were unwilling to fight over cabinet nominees and unwilling to fight over the budget/shutdown, it’s safe to assume they’re not going to fight over anything.

No matter what Schumer says tomorrow about why he just had to capitulate to a party actively facilitating a coup, there's no benefit, nothing won from any amount of concession. No cloture, no compromise. Not a vote, not an inch.

It is clear that some of us understand the present danger & some don’t! I stand by the NO vote on the blank check for Trump & Elon… I’ve got no explanation nor agreement with Senate Dems being complicit in Trump’s Tyranny.

I just spoke to assistants for my @senatedem.bsky.social telling them that, while a gov shutdown would massively effect my ability to live, that they NEED to vote NO for cloture, no for the house budget, that I will vote for whoever primaries them if they don't vote NO. Call yours! Wait on hold!

confirmed by multiple sources (mainly me)

is this guy legit because i haven't seen confirmation of this from anyone else outside of tweets

DNC we will NOT support men who abuse women. We are not the republican party.

There is indeed a body of polisci research that indicates Biden won specifically *because* of racial justice protests.

Democrats must confidently, proudly, offer an ideological alternative to Trumpism and the conservative culture war instead of continually comporting themselves to whatever its latest iteration is. They must do this out of genuine conviction and not simply for political opportunism [1/2]

JUST IN: The head of the US African Development Foundation is suing Peter Marocco and DOGE — and he is describing in detail the standoff in which he blocked DOGE from entering the agency's offices. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The thing I'll always remember about Al Green is that he was the first Democrat to introduce articles of impeachment against Trump in 2017, after Comey was fired. He also argued that Trump was impeachable for his bigotry alone. This was completely out of step with most Democrats and party leaders.

Dem base is so contemptuous of national level Dems because they refuse to set a narrative beyond vague promises that haven't led anywhere substantive or enduring since the ACA, which itself was half assed. Meanwhile Rs have run and won based on narratives that are entirely confabulated nonsense
