Dems. Wanna get your polling out of the gutter? Stop talking about redrawing house maps in blue states and do it. Go big. Don't match them seat for seat. Blow them out of the water. Then endorse Mamdani. You're welcome.

Love, Allison

This fabulous young man is running for Texas district 18. He went to jail for speaking out against the gerrymandering by Abbott and his goons. It kind of reminds me of Bernie Sanders in the early 60s.

This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance.

Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.

Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Not a SINGLE Democratic senator should vote for the Republican spending bill. Doing so would simply further embolden and empower Trump in his effort to destroy our government and the vital services it provides.

STAND YOUR GROUND AND FIGHT — LIKE HOUSE DEMOCRATS DID!!

JUST REMOVED for disrupting Trump’s speech, Rep. Al Green says he was shouting to protect Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security from Republican cuts — and says he’ll take whatever punishment they throw his way.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

Holy smokes. The Mail, a staunchly RIGHT-WING newspaper in the UK, slammed”‘bully” Trump and called for his state visit to be cancelled.

Trump is now the laughingstock of the entire world.
