Liz Warren, Bernie Sanders and Ro Khanna should be hounded by questions about Graham Platner for the rest of their political careers. All of them are trying to pretend it wasn't a glaring example of their terrible judge of character.
Igor Bobic reports Liz Warren is dodging questions about her support for Graham Platner.

Even on its own terms the column does a fairly poor job of arguing that. Also, it’s really gross that this didn’t get edited out: “from the Democratic National Committee’s attempted undermining of Bernie Sanders’s 2016 presidential bid[.]” Seeding low trust bs like this is coaltion wrecking.

Yeah, there's no way Leader Jeffries would get behind an amendment put up by noted antisemite, Thomas Massie. If the far left would stop frothing at the mouth for a minute, they'd notice that the amendment could cut off humanitarian aid, too. You know - for the people they claim to care about?

This is literally the exact milquetoast response people said was exactly how Dems should respond, from a dude who literally got thrown out of Congress for telling Trump off on live tv... ...and yet people are still mad.

A reminder that the only reason why 20 million ACA enrollees are freaking out about their healthcare premiums skyrocketing 58% on average this year is because Biden & Democrats were the ones who caused them to be so much *lower* for the previous five years.

And now you know what the DSA left means when they say the plan to overthrow the Democratic Party. Of course, you should've been able to tell when they started primarying Black and Brown incumbents.

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

Remember: Federal officials do not enjoy categorical, absolute immunity from state-level prosecutions. They are entitled to removal to federal court. But conduct that is unreasonable or unnecessary for the execution of their law enforcement duties is susceptible to criminal prosecution.

So you know who you're helping? Trump and Republicans. That's what you're doing when you're blaming Democrats for what Republicans do. And you all have been doing this for so long so you know that this is what you're doing. At this point it's a choice. You know better but you choose to do it anyway.

You know who really really loves it when you find a way to blame Democrats for what Republicans do and what Trump does? Trump and Republicans. They don't even have to lift a finger and they're just laughing at us collectively because it's so easy for them. It's uncanny. You guys do it every time.

again, every Democrat has not in fact done this by any stretch of the imagination, and there have been multiple statements - here's a few - www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/art... - that condemn this unequivocally but sure, if you just lie about it you can feel fine saying both sides are the same.

The problem with statements from various Democrats is that over 20% of the country is illiterate aside from those who keep voting for or enabling this, the people who don’t live here whining when they don’t know how the gov works, & bad faith nonprofits & podcasters profiting off of bashing Dems.

Vote for Democrats in the first place to have the power you think they do. Don’t give Republicans a trifecta. Give Democrats the House & Senate & the ability to actually address the conservative SCOTUS. Don’t kneecap whoever the future 2028 Dem Presidential nominee is like you spent 2024 doing.

He’s not getting impeached just because a few House Republicans we’re going to vote out soon are sad about the future losses. It’s a waste of time without removal & the Senate votes aren’t there for President Vance. He’s been impeached twice & nobody gave a fuck. Your empty symbolism doesn’t matter.

Impeachment failed a month ago & most of y’all whining for this are gonna demand the Rep who proposed it step down anyway because he’s old & the Texas redistricting is going to force him to run against a special election winner half his age. It’s worthless without removal. Flip Congress instead. 🤷‍♂️
