Democratic politicians everywhere need to understand something: the massive support you're seeing right now for Texas House Democrats would be the support you'd easily get, too, if you were willing to fight back aggressively instead of navel-gazing and talking about "norms."

The GOP is scared—and they should be. Look at the R+23 district we just flipped in Pennsylvania. We’re taking back the majority. Trump is only delaying the inevitable.

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer. "Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

If Republicans need votes from Democrats then it’s time Republicans actually negotiate with Democrats. Or put a true CR to a vote. Otherwise, Republicans can pound sand.

"America rejected kingly power once, and we must do so now,” writes Constitutional law expert @anthonymkreis.bsky.social. In 18th-century England, laws were changed at the king’s whim and legislative authority was subordinate to executive power. Deja vu?

We rejected kingly power once. We must do so again.
Constitutional principles are so deeply wedded to the American experience that they transcend presidential administrations.

The 30 hours filibuster is a fantastic example of how Democrats can use procedure to grind work in the Senate to a halt. I want to see filibusters, quorum calls— as much blockage as possible. Make their lives miserable if they’re trying to hurt the people.

This letter from Heather Cox Richardson may be one of the most important one of all. The Republican party is in self-destruct mode and the hint that they know this is how their proposed way forward is to divide the country and hurt as many of us as possible.
