Expel the yes votes from the party and cut off all their access to fundraising, then remove Schumer from leadership. Anything less is mealy-mouthed coward bullshit.

Don't worry, Donald Trump, all those middle fingers were simply signaling that it was first down

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country. Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right. The solution: Medicare for All.

If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

My statement on the proposed Senate deal

Dear Senate Dems, Republicans don’t keep their promises…

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Design vehicles to fit the streets rather than streets designed to fit the vehicles.

omg

The amount of fucking rage I feel right now is indescribable. I mean, I could, but it's mainly aimed at one individual - and I like this account. And I'm not fond of federal law enforcement visits. So I'll leave it at that.

2025 has been like that portion of It's a Wonderful Life after George wishes he had never been born and all of a sudden the world is worse for it and everyone is living in Pottersville. That's what 2025 has been: Pottersville.

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

Good morning to these future governors!

Republican health care cuts are creating huge cost increases for people in Northeast Ohio, including Talia who shared her story with my office. This is outrageous and I am right there with her, Congress has to fix this. It's time to cancel the ACA cuts, lower the costs, and protect health care.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Tonight, California made it clear: we’re taking back our voice and democracy. Here’s to proof that when we act together, we win.

So many predicted close races, which is understandable. But turnout favored the anti-kings…. And blew the predictions up. 2026, and 2028….. stand back and stand by

I heard a soundbite on NPR this morning from some mom who receives SNAP talking about how she has considered stealing food to feed her kids.

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani. The president and his allies came after him. Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute. He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters. His politics can win anywhere.

If anyone needed another reminder of how deeply unpopular the Trump-MAGA Republican agenda is, tonight was the night. But we cannot relent and we cannot become complacent. The midterms are right around the corner.

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC. It didn't matter. Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

New Jersey, it is the honor of my life to earn your trust to become this great state’s 57th Governor. I promise to listen, lead with courage, and never forget who I serve.

The Democratic Party is a big tent with no room for racism. The GOP is a tiny little hut with space for Nick Fuentes.

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Trump says he's sending the National Guard to crime-ridden "hellholes," but homicide rates across major cities have been falling. In Portland, murders were down 39%. In Chicago, they were down 22%. Trump's deployments are about authoritarian control, not "law and order."

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

If you're in line, stay in line. Bring your friends. Camp out in front of your precinct. Bring a grill. Leftover Halloween candy.

This is what happens when you delay maintenance over and over and over. The next few summers are going to be full of deferred maintenance construction, and it will likely be this way going forward unless we some how catch up the giant back log of work. Use transit. Use bikes. Walk more. Drive less.

Teen Vogue has shown that you can do courageous, accountability political journalism *and* get huge engagement while doing so. And they've just decided to throw that all away. This is an unbelievably grim day for journalism.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

If anyone is interested in the sequel to COHERENCE, we finally landed on a story worthy of the mission. Unless the actors revolt, we will probably do it just like the first one, where they know their own character details, but don't know what the other actors are going to say or do. Like real life.
