It’s time to replace Hakeem: The Minority Leader is elected every two years at the start of a new Congress by a secret ballot vote of their entire party caucus or conference. A simple majority will do it.

Turns out we had the power all along. Any Senate Democrats can bring a self-executing rule change motion directly to the conference and then a simple majority vote of the party conference is required to remove the incumbent minority leader.

A naked, gold-covered Trump statue has been unveiled inside the European Parliament in Strasbourg. It’s called “Orange Plague,” also known as “King of Injustice,” and shows him sitting on another man’s shoulders holding an enormous golf club. Covered in reportedly 23-karat gold, of course.

Trump called on Russia to expose Hillary. He asked China to investigate Biden. He asked Iran to obliterate a blue city. He’s asking our enemies to attach our own. Simply put, HE’S A TRAITOR. @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

MAGA: “We support Trump because he says what he means and tells it like it is.” Also MAGA: “That’s not what he meant.” Then the usual cleanup crew, spends weeks explaining what Trump “really” meant. So much for telling it like it is.

For months Gabriela Soto has relentlessly advocated for her husband Martin, unlawfully detained by ICE while buying diapers for their baby. Martin played a key role in the Delaney Hall hunger strike this summer. Last night we was RELEASED from ICE custody. ALWAYS FIGHT BACK.

Nothing to see here...just the President of the United States inviting the country he illegally declared war on to "take out" 2 major American cities. If that's not treason, what is? 🤬 Law enforcement won't hold him accountable, but we WILL! The beginning of the end is on November 3rd. #VOTE-BLUE 🌊

This is from a now not-anonymous woman who was a child when Trumpy told her he would kill her and her family if she ever said anything. Toady Blanche is making sure all the girls (now women) he assaulted don't talk. ut those of us who are paying attention 100% know what Trumpy did to so many kids.

‘But I got road salt exempted from Trump’s tariffs’ is really the perfect way to sum up Susan Collins during the Trump era. While he does hundreds of things to hurt Mainers, she brags about one small thing she did to help her reelection, while doing nothing on the big things.

Trump's arch is not about national security. It’s about his own personal insecurities.
A Panel graphic of Senator Duckworth speaking at a press conference in Washington, D.C. There are three images of Senator Duckworth speaking with text that reflects what she is saying over each picture. First, "This arch is about Trump's personal insecurities." Second, "I don't know what he's insecure about." Third, "He must have a lot of insecurities because he certainly is trying to make up for it everywhere he can."

Trump and MAGA/republicans have ceased to be a political party, they are a collective psychosis. One their's central tenet is cruelty and sociopathy. The fact that our media ignores this fact, sane washes it, pretends that no one knows what he meant is a problem. /2

Under Article III, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution, treason is defined as levying war against the United States or giving "aid and comfort" to its enemies. trump inviting or encouraging a foreign nation to attack a domestic city meets the legal threshold of aiding an enemy. It is unforgivable.

Iran does not have the capability to "take out" LA and San Diego. I hope we all understand that if an attack occurs, the perpetrator will not be Iran. I need you all to truly understand what Trump is saying. It’s much worse.
