If there is not a woman on the Democratic ticket in 2028 I am not supporting it. Better yet, it should be two women. Every SCOTUS vacancy from here til eternity should be filled by a woman. Men have fucked everything up. We have no business running an apple cart, let alone a country.

If you live in Missouri, call your Senator & raise hell abt today’s absolute waste of time and money. Sen Eric Schmitt incompetently & slanderously accused Jack Smith of perjury bc he was too stupid to understand the diff btw “Hawks” and “Hawkeyes.” If this were SNL it would be funny. But it’s not.

Is it just me or does it sound and feel like Trump is planning to burn everything down because he is not getting his way? He famously TACOs but I am really worried about what he is planning to do in Iran and perhaps Yemen.

Bankhead needs to withdraw immediately and endorse Bodnar. The latest poll is Alme (R) 38%, Bodnar (I) 30%, Bankhead (D) 16%. If those numbers were reversed, Democrats would be screaming at Bodnar to withdraw. montanafreepress.org/2026/09/11/a...

BREAKING: Federal judge finds that Trump's IRS suit was improper because Trump controlled both sides of the litigation. Judge Kathleen Williams also sanctions Trump's lawyers, issues monetary sanctions, and harshly criticizes DOJ's "untenable" conduct. More to come at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com

The Parties used the existence of federal litigation as a means of conferring legitimacy upon a course of action that they were unwilling to subject to judicial review.
The context of the "settlement," the relationships of the people involved in negotiating and approving it, the ethical implications of their conduct, and the Parties' swift efforts to
dismiss this case after the Court raised fundamental jurisdictional questions all support this conclusion. Accordingly, the Court expressly finds that Plaintiffs acted in bad faith.
See Sofaly v. Portfolio Recovery Assocs., LLC, 155 F.4th 289, 295 (3d Cir. 2025) (monetary sanctions were proper under the court's inherent power where the lawyers acted in bad faith and committed fraud on the court by using "their clients to bring
contrived lawsuits"). That finding is enough to invoke the Court's inherent authority. See JTR Enter., LLC V. Columbian Emeralds, 697 F. App'x 976, 986 (11th Cir. 2017) ("The key to invoking a court's inherent power to sanction is a finding of bad faith.") (citation
omitted).

I’m not going to hail Barrett and Roberts for allowing us to count our votes. It’s a huge win for democracy, but it shouldn’t have even been a question. That we were one vote away from disenfranchising votes is all the more reason to expand the court in 2029.

In a sea of dumb conspiracy theories, this is the dumbest. Trump was president in 2020. He lost that election broadly across the country. How did the Democrats steal it? Republicans running Georgia stole it for Biden? It's utter nonsense. And that's before you realize there is zero evidence.

Remember when GOPers would disingenuously complain that Dems took Black and brown voters for granted? Well, Carville is admitting they were right after all. He is all for Black and brown voters - as long as they do what he tells them to do. When they vote DSA, they are no longer in the party.

I am hearing that centrist Democrats are threatening a "counteroffensive" against "Mamdani socialists" soon. I suppose harshly-worded letters are only for fascists. It appears that the only way to get centrists to do anything is to defeat them at the ballot box from the left.

The terror spreading across the country this a.m. because in some more progressive corners of the US progressives won elections is telling. The reason the reaction is so over-large is because progressives unlike centrists and the right, are the only group who pose a real threat to established power.

Leave it to the former chair of the DNC to rain on our parade last night. He doesn't want us to ruin their party. The problem is that the "us" is voters. It's time to shed the failed neoliberal project that has produced the myriad crises we deal with today. Democratic socialism is the way forward.

New poll: Democrats' real problem isn't being too liberal — it's being seen as too weak

Americans, including swing voters, see the Republican Party as 20 points more extreme than Democrats — and the Democrats as weak and ineffective. So why would the *Democrats* moderate?

If any establisho Dem calls for one of the losers in today's primaries in NYC to run as an indy in November, I will do what I can to make sure you lose your next election. I bet there are a lot of others like me. You tried that with Cuomo & it was an epic failure. You won't win this time either.

There is a chance that Reps are shut out in Nov rather than Dems. But primary polling in a crowded top-two nonpartisan primary w/o an incumbent is about as tricky as it gets.
