Republicans are getting worried about the upcoming special election in #TN07, where @aftynbehn.bsky.social has all of the momentum. Early voting is underway, and you can help send this progressive champion (and former Indivisible organizer) to Congress: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

No one should have to face such threats. It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

I have no sympathy for the woman who helped usher in this exact dynamic. She deserves all of it.

From a statement from faith leaders at Broadview this morning: "God does not bless cages. God does not sanction abductions. God demands freedom."

I think we need to start visualizing the Trump Presidency ending, and socialize it. For it is the right thing to do for the country and the American people.

Great to have Rep. Grijalva as the newest member of the Democratic Caucus! The people of AZ-07 have a voice again in the House. It shouldn’t have taken Speaker Johnson seven shameful weeks to swear her in so he could stall a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

You are completely tone-deaf to the outrage over your betrayal this week. Acting like you can talk over us, or wave it away won’t erase the damage — or our long memories. At this point, the only responsible move is to sit down, vote with your caucus, and let the clock run out on your term.

Even though spineless Senate Democrats caved, the overwhelming majority of House Democrats followed @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social’s lead to keep fighting and oppose this scam of a bill. Thank you to Leader Jeffries and every Democrat who stood together and stayed true to our values.

Local media is calling it: Katie Wilson will be the next mayor of Seattle. Wilson ousts Mayor Bruce Harrell after running as a progressive challenger. Her win is a west coast companion to Mamdani’s as a statement victory for the left.

"It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 members of the United States Senate over $1,000,000 a piece and we are robbing people of their food assistance and healthcare to pay for it. How is this even on the floor!?" Rep. AOC

There’s supposed talk abt Andrew Cuomo running for that seat. Could you imagine the trolling Jack would do to Cuomo? Can’t wait.

BREAKING: Jack Schlossberg, the son of Caroline Kennedy, has announced that he’ll seek Jerry Nadler’s congressional seat. He says the Democratic Party needs someone who can stand up strongly to Trump.

Gov. Gavin Newsom of California cast himself as the “stable and reliable” American partner to the world, called a reported White House proposal to open offshore drilling in the waters off California “disgraceful” and urged his fellow Democrats to recast climate change as a “cost of living issue.”

I just signed an MOU with the Brazilian Governor of Parà, @helderbarbalhoreal.bsky.social, to strengthen cooperation on wildfire prevention and response. We're identifying areas of risk, enhancing forest monitoring, and sharing research and expertise for emergency response.

AMAZEBALLS! #aurora

In terms of big disappointments, he gets honorable Manchin.

🚨BREAKING: At long last, Mike Johnson will swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva on Wednesday at 4 pm ET.

The days of thanking veterans today and forgetting them tomorrow has to come to an end.

Jeffries: "It's unbelievable that for 7 plus weeks Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva has been denied the ability to serve more than 800,000 people in Arizona because Republicans are running a pedophile protection program."

“Calm down. There’s no way The Titanic will ever been torn in two pieces.” —Kathleen Parker, Stern of the Titanic, 2am April 15th, 1912

Going to be interesting see how much control Trump and Johnson are going to have over those Republican House Members whose political careers they have ended.

This seems like the most straightforward and also basically accurate message.

Momentum builds for new leadership!

Listen, think what you want about Hakeem Jeffries. I know I’ve had my fair share of disagreements. But even after Schumer caved and betrayed all of us, Hakeem is whipping votes on the House floor to try and block this shitty deal and protect Americans’ healthcare. That’s worth a lot.

Stay and fight. From New York: if you register as an independent, you can't vote in the primary. And in a blue state like NY, primaries can be more decisive than general elections. And in general elections, you can vote on the Working Families Party line and signal the Dems you're a progressive.

Our primary program will include both the House and Senate. And after the primary — whatever happens — we will rally behind the winner and crush the regime electorally in the midterms just like we did this last week. We get the party we demand and we intend to demand a Democratic Party that fights.

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run. We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader. If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

This isn’t about left vs. right. This is about fighting back vs. losing. The regime’s threats are too real and the stakes are too high to settle for the feckless, loser version of the Democratic Party we saw this week. In this moment when fascists are on the march, we need leadership with a spine.

LEAD CHANGE: Katie Wilson is now ahead of Mayor Harrell by... 91 votes. That's out of ≈270K! Seattle counted roughly 39K ballots today, & they broke in favor of Wilson by 11.4%, erasing the entirety of the incumbent's lead.

JUST IN: Katie Wilson is now ahead of Mayor Bruce Harrell in the Seattle mayoral race. Stay tuned for details on today's count.

Once again: It's not about affordability. It's about you being diagnosed with cancer and Cinga cancelling your policy because they found a 19 year old photo on facebook of you standing next to someone smoking a cigarette. That's what we're talking about here.

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president. The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

Yup. Claim the party. Force the center-right pols out. Let them try and make Forward work.

“Rather than taking over the Democratic Party the same way the right took over the Republican Party, we should take the easier route and just start up a new party ourselves!” I’m about to fill my pockets with stones and walk into the sea.

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels. The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands. Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame. Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump. Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.

Wow!!

This is the message of a failed, feckless, and leaderless party. We need a party with backbone, and the only path to it is through a cleansing primary season. If your Dem is up for reelection, and you aren't damn sure they're fighting the fascists with everything they've got, primary the bastard.

After over nine months of Trump and his regime inflicting extreme pain and abuse on the country every day, eight Senate Democrats decided to remove one actual moment of leverage and end the government shutdown. Just pathetic.

It's like Chuck Schumer wakes up every day by asking "what can I do to make young people despise my party even more?"

Durbin, the guy whose job it is to whip the votes for leadership, voted for the deal Schumer was supposedly against. What are we even doing here people

#GVerse #Update - via @calltoactivism.bsky.social "Just wanted to point out that Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff is quite possibly the most vulnerable Senator in America right now and tonight, he voted no on this deal. This is what courage looks like."

I am so furious right now. AGs across the country fought to get SNAP benefits. Federal workers suffered with weeks of no pay. Millions of people showed up to protest Trump. Democrats showed up in record numbers at the polls to say 'we've got your back!' And you caved for literally nothing.

Say that most of them are fighting for them. And we have to replace the ones who are not. And say that not one Republican is fighting for them.

Next time I’m talking to a young voter and they ask me how they can trust Democrats to fight for them, what the actual fuck am I supposed to say? Oh they’ll fight for you until Chuck no longer feels like it?
