One of the biggest moments of my career:
USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

Why is there still no well funded challenger to Mark Warner, who is a waste of space if I’ve ever seen one.
Jon Ossoff (GA), Gary Peters (MI), Jack Reed (RI), Jacky Rosen (NV), Chuck Schumer (NY), Jeanne Shaheen (NH), Elissa Slotkin (MI), Mark Warner (VA), Raphael Warnock (GA), & Sheldon Whitehouse (RI).

The degree to which the American right has shed a sense of shame and openly embraces the most ugly moral stances possible is shocking. Fixing that will mean cultivating a hard cultural turn against such beliefs and using renewed shaming and social exclusion to punish those who hold and express them.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Lest there be any insinuation that Dems spared their own. It would be tough for Kathy Ruemmler—Obama’s WH Counsel from 2011 to mid-2014—to come off looking worse in these docs the committee Dems released. oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Correct
anyway if dems think I'm gonna forget this shit in 5 months, they're wrong. if they think I'm gonna forget it in 5 years, they're wrong. they have fully convinced me that purging the party of these inept losers in the senate is more important than retaking the senate in the next election cycle

Momentum builds for new leadership!

Now is the time to fight, not surrender. 🗣️

Schumer must step down from his post as minority leader and allow for new leadership to emerge—someone who is willing to consistently fight for the American people.
Progressive group MoveOn calls on Schumer to step aside
"Inexplicably, some Senate Democrats, under Leader Schumer's watch, decided to surrender."

I'm reminded once again that a weak, incompetent opposition party is a hallmark of competitive authoritarianism.

Get rid of them all, because I haven’t seen a single one of them openly call for his ouster.

We made the filibuster a litmus test, and they just lied about it 🤷🏻‍♀️
We can't vote Schumer out until 2028 but we can make him being the senate majority leader a litmus test for 2026 candidates. Every single Dem senate candidate should be forced to go on the record and state they will not vote for him as majority leader.

a note on the Minnesota primary: this is correct, the person to replace Tina Smith with is Peggy Flanagan
Replace Smith with Peggy Flanagan. Do not replace her with Angie Craig.
that's right, Smith is retiring, I forgot

that sucks! she's good! replace her with someone who is also good!

okay, so, with Dems successfully keeping anyone up in 2026 for voting for this turd let's take a look at who's up in 2026 anyway:

1. Cory Booker - apparently involved behind the scenes, constantly looking for bipartisanship. I don't dislike him personally but he doesn't have what we need. Primary.

Part of me thinks “yeah, primary every last one of these fuckers!!!”

And the other part of me thinks “eh, fuck it. We’re gonna need wholesale constitutional reform anyway. Just abolish the damn Senate.”

If the democrats care about these things they don’t operate like it, and voters see that.
Democrats care about people. We don't want kids to go hungry. This is both our greatest liability and our greatest strength.

Warner is up for reelection. He was widely seen driving towards surrender behind the scenes, but he's voting no in public because it's unpopular. The real question is whether he supports a senate leadership change. If not, someone who supports senate leadership change should primary him.
But I cannot support a deal that still leaves millions of Americans wondering how they are going to pay for their health care or whether they will be able to afford to get sick.

To repeat: I have studied a lot of cases of autocratization over the past 15 years. Wrote about them, taught about them, consulting about them.

I do not recall an opposition so apathetic, ignorant, and inept as the @democrats.org. They cling to their power, rather than fight for democracy. Shame.
