6 Democrats voted with MAGA to pass the NDAA 216-212. They are: •Danny Davis (NC) •Henry Cuellar (TX) •Jared Golden (ME) •Adam Gray (CA) •Vicente Gonzalez (TX) •Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA) Centrist Democrats continue too betray us and enable fascism to advance unchecked. 1/2

Let me get this straight... Trump is blocking $1B in Medicaid payments to blue states over spurious accusations of mass fraud. Meanwhile, he's literally pardoned over 70 convicted fraudsters — including a nursing home owner who stole over $1.3B from Medicare and Medicaid. Hello?

this is why we can safely laugh off this line of attack. mark warner is about as "generic moderate democrat" as you can get. if you're saying he's a red, then the word has zero meaning (like when they said same about obama, biden, both clintons, kerry, etc)

driving concern for both parties is funneling our tax dollars to the private sector or just forcing us to spend more money there. the only "M4A" we're likely to get is "Medicare Advantage for All" (you can read any honest primer on Medicare if you're curious as to what useless bullshit that'll be).

A really good read. I'd rather be naive and believe that just as we the voters have enabled Republicans to wreck catastrophic economic harm, there might come a day when voters elect a party that works in the opposite direction. It won't happen under current Dem leadership tho. That's a sad given.

Hey @chicagotribune.com Editorial Board: Why did you describe me as a “bomb-throwing influencer”? This is wrong, inflammatory, and racist. Change it. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/07/05/e...
So far, the Democratic Socialists of America's success has been confined in large part to deep-blue city districts. Meanwhile, in suburban areas and in statewide contests establishment Democrats generally are winning against progressive challengers. Chicago saw its own version of this dynamic in March in the hotly contested and crowded race to succeed retiring Rep. Jan Schakowsky in the 9th Congressional District. The bomb-throwing influencer Kat Abughazaleh, 27, won the portions of that district in Chicago's North Side lakefront neighborhoods, but suburban votes gave savvy
Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss the win.
