Senator Schumer has failed to lead this party in one of its most critical moments, and Americans will pay the price. It’s time for him to step down from leadership and make way for a new generation willing to fight for the people instead of the powerful.

To the 8 senators who voted to give up the only leverage they had and trust the GOP:
A graphic with a white and gray gradient background contains bold red text that reads:
“BELIEVING THE REPUBLICANS WHEN THEY ‘PROMISE’ A VOTE ON HEALTHCARE IS LIKE BELIEVING TRUMP WHEN HE SAID PROJECT 2025 WASN’T THE PLAN OF HIS ADMINISTRATION.”
At the bottom, it credits @kdnerak33.bsky.social, and in the corner is the logo BRIAN TYLER COHEN.

Caroline Kennedy says that her cousin RFK Jr. is "unqualified to fill" the role as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. Bingo.

As a former Navy Hospital Corpsman (Medic) and nurse, the fact that we are facing a near certain return of childhood diseases that had been all but silenced for years because of the plans by the new Trump admin is nothing short of maddening.

The nomination of Pete Hegseth to be Secretary of Defense should give all Americans pause. Not only the allegation of sexual assault but also his retrograde views of women and his bizarre right wing conspiracy theories outlined in his books. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Donald Trump’s Most Dangerous Cabinet Pick
Pete Hegseth considers himself to be at war with basically everybody to Trump’s left, and it is by no means clear that he means war metaphorically.

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me. I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc

In that gig, he would oversee anti human trafficking law enforcement efforts (while also presumably being wide open to blackmail/extortion by anyone with access to the buried report they're trying to suppress). USA! USA!

Just absorbing the fact that the first order of business in the new QAnon-inflected MAGA Republican era is to demand that Congress bury its report on sex trafficking and drug allegations against a Republican member of Congress who they're trying to promote to higher office.

When you think about it, it’s quite on brand for the GOP to seek to protect alleged pedophiles among them by preventing the truth from ever seeing the light of day. Eh hmm, Jim Jordan (cough).

Trump’s team is skipping FBI background checks for Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard. Because they’d obviously turn up nothing, right?!

The maps of swings in urban areas are masking (at least in NYC) enormous turnout decline. As much if not more a story about voters staying home as flipping to Trump.

I supported Derek Tran as one of my “Fight for Five” House candidates. Together with the Human Rights Campaign AANHPI working group, we brought national attention and dollars to this race in CA-45 that everyone said was an uphill battle. But look where we are now! Go Derek!!
Tweet that shows graph of Tran gaining steadily on Steele. Text of tweet says, “Republican incumbent Michelle Steel keeps losing her lead. She's ahead by 236 votes (0.08%), the closest race in the country and there are plenty of uncounted votes. Challenger Derek Tran (D) has an excellent chance to oust her. The trend lines are very clear.”

Just to be clear: the incoming Trump administration is going to war against their own Republican senate majority and the constitution's advice and consent provision so they can make a man investigated for ***sex trafficking a minor*** into the most powerful law enforcement officer in the country.
