The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.

These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

After those results, the Democratic response to GOP pressure to cave on the shutdown should simply be

Despite naysayers' predictions of eternal Democratic failure, @kenmartin.bsky.social took our Party from the depths of despair and powerlessness, and showed Americans that Democrats are willing to fight for them.

On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor our country's first people and celebrate their culture, traditions, and contributions.

We remain committed to honoring Tribal sovereignty and working in true partnership to strengthen Native communities every day.

Graphic that reads. 'Celebrating Indigenous Peoples' Day.'

If you live in California, now’s your chance to fight back against Trump’s attack on free and fair elections. Vote YES on Proposition 50.

Early voting starts today. Let’s make sure Republicans know that we won’t let them rig our elections.

House Republicans would rather keep the government shut down than release the Epstein files.

Republicans continue to postpone the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva, the newest Democrat elected to Congress, for a sixth day.

Her day one promise is to be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files.

The Democratic Party became the party cemented in civil rights in 1948 because of a young mayor, Hubert Humphrey.

Nothing good in our party happens without new voices pushing the party to evolve on issues.

If we’re going to get serious about ending this horrific political violence then let’s get serious. Your friend and our friends were both gunned down this year by madmen, Mr. President. This cannot be ok.

South Korean press speaking the obvious truths American papers are too afraid to publish

sarah jeong @sarahjeong.bsky.social · Sep 14

idk if you've seen this south korean editorial that ran a few days ago. google translate version scorched my eyebrows www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...

Maga is fundamentally a populist white racism.
The slogan "Make America Great Again" is more accurately described as "Make White
America Greater." The fact that the tariff policy insisted on a 50% tariff only on steel and aluminum stems from the concentration of these groups in the Rust Belt.

The massive crackdown on illegal immigrants at the Hyundai-LG Energy Solutions joint venture plant in Georgia must be understood in this context. The scenes of our workers being chained and escorted away were reminiscent of the dragging of African slaves in the 18th and 19th centuries. The
Department of Homeland Security boasted of
"the largest single-site raid in history," and Immigration and Customs Enforcement even brazenly released footage of the raid, which was highly violating human rights, as if to boast of their "achievement."

Far-right whites may have secretly rejoiced.
Even politicians like the Georgia governor and local lawmakers, who had been active in attracting factories, have shifted their stance and sympathized with their grievances. This is likely because it's difficult to ignore the anti-immigrant sentiment of native Americans. Like the McCarthyism that swept through American society in the 1950s, irrational madness dominates American society. The recent visa issue, which could have been resolved diplomatically with advance notice from an ally, is difficult to explain beyond political maneuvering. The fact that they mobilized helicopters and armored vehicles for show, as if they had been caught, is difficult to explain.

Our politics seems to be entering a phase of "right supremacy" where only the lives of right-wingers have value. Assassinating the leader of a state legislative body in her own damn home was business as usual, but all of America has to have a reckoning if it's a far-right online influencer.

The right-wing narrative on political violence is that it's funny/tough/macho/justified/patriotic when they do it, and an absolute tragedy/moral outrage when it's done to them.

That's who Charlie Kirk was. That's what the entire right wing is.

The Trump regime is turning the military against its own people and summarily executing people on the high seas. If the best Dems can do in the funding fight is "hey, we saved subsidies for another year" then we are truly lost as a party.
