I think the question of what dem senators we SHOULDN’T primary in 2026 yields a smaller number than the alternate

oh my god

we're running out of money for them to scam us out of

with the D line stop coming and SB79 on the books, this area of Wilshire/La Brea could undergo a real renaissance. (Some of the current height limits may already be greater than this, the zoning website is a mess to figure out). This is all lots, car dealerships, strip malls, and fast food.

Very much in a ‘burn down the Democratic Party and replace it with a progressive party’ mood. Annoyingly there’s no way to practically do that in our system without conceding the nation to fascism, so we need to stage a total takeover from within somehow.

Trump: *gets booed massively in front of a huge stadium crowd* Senate Democrats: Wait, they should be booing at us!

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Go volunteer for a progressive launching a “hopeless” campaign against an extremely entrenched incumbent currently squatting in a safe Blue seat. The worst thing that happens, is that you drag the incumbent to the Left. Best case? Zohran Mamdani, who was polling at 6% in January.

King used to be reliable. But his brain has Fettermaned. He needs to stand down; he's causing damage.

Unfortunately still true bsky.app/profile/adam...

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.

there was an incredibly stark change at my job between 2023 and 2025. just absolutely day and night.

The fact that none of the 8 Dems are up for re-election in 2026 is a pretty good sign @schumer.senate.gov engineered the surrender

For every single person that dies because these ACA subsidies go away (and there will be a LOT), protestors should place a headstone on the lawns of each senator who caved. With pictures. Confront them with the death they’ve caused until it hollows out whatever souls they have left.

the thing that upsets me about this the most is that Dems had all the momentum, republicans were reeling, and we were getting intra-GOP fighting over the filibuster, all while voters were blaming republicans for their incompetence this destroys all of this. just a total gut punch

A leader would not have lost eight colleagues tonight. This happened because you let it happen or because you’ve totally lost control of the caucus in one of the most important moments since you’ve been Democratic leader. Either way, it’s on you. You need to step down. We need someone who can lead.

the Dems keep operating like this cynical shit has no effect. It’s why their core voters don’t fucking show up. When they say “we fight for you” nobody believes them, because they constantly pull shit like this and say “what else are you gonna vote for.” But then people STAY HOME.

The cheapest plan available to me (a Georgian) is over $1,000 a month. Healthcare is no longer an option for me. I will ration the medication I take for as long as I can and then I will wait to die.

I think tonight shows why “moderate to win elections” is a real risk the big divide in the Dem caucus, as many have noted, has been less moderate vs progressive than fight versus don’t fight but it’s not a coincidence that basically everyone in the “don’t fight” camp is a moderate

Want a party that actually fights back? Run for office. We’ll help you. runforwhat.net

It really does seem like there's a decent chance that these senators screwed us because they don't want their personal Thanksgiving plans to be disrupted.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

i’m ready for something different than whatever the fuck this is

you can see why fascism is so popular when the other option is The Loser Party That Loves Losing

I think Senate folders are significantly underestimating how fucking angry Democratic voters are at them

the angry base has been right and the savvy "calm down" caucus has been wrong every step of the way for the last 10 years

We polled Indivisible members over the weekend on whether Dems should take a deal or keep fighting for the ACA subsidies. Results: 98.67% said keep fighting. Dems who vote to surrender now are fracturing their own party in a way that will reverberate loudly in the primaries.

so tell me about them etsy witches

The Democrats who caved just taught Republicans that using mass starvation as a weapon works.

Senate Democrats voting to dismantle the ACA to avoid any problems with their Thanksgiving travel is tragically on brand.

"Meet me in the middle," says the unjust man. You take a step towards him, he takes a step back. "Meet me in the middle," says the unjust man." ~ A.R. Moxon

Any Democrat in Congress who would accept a promise from a Republican in Congress should undergo a cognitive test.

we are cursed to live in a time of cowards

All of this is confirming my belief that Republicans never learn from a loss and Democrats never learn from a win

Booker, Warner, and Ossoff can be primaried next year. Cortez Masto, Hassan, Fetterman, and Schumer in '28. Gillibrand and King in '30. (Durbin is retiring.)

Call them: Schumer (NY) 202 224-6542 Booker (NJ) 202 224-3224 King (ME) 202 224-5344 Hassan (NH) 202 224-3324 Durbin (IL) 202 224-2152 Ossoff (GA) 202 224-3521 Shaheen (NH) 202 224-2841 Gillibrand (NY) 202 224-4451 Masto (NV) 202 224-3542 Warner (VA) 202 224-2023 Fetterman (PA) No Point

Dems should be all over THIS, not caving on a shutdown and healthcare premiums on which the publicly currently clearly blame Trump and the GOP for.

If you were a visitor from a distant land and had to understand the purpose of the democratic party elite from only their actions not their words, what would you say their function is? I think this is an important question to understand our situation clearly.

2/ The Senators who want to vote yes on basically any terms appear to be shaheen, Hassan, king and Fetterman. Slightly less clear but I think pushing that way are Peters and Durbin. You’ll note that four of these six are retiring. Others who seem on the fence include the two sens from Georgia and …

Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.

Here’s video of federal agents doing a drive by pepper spraying that hit a father and his one-year old on Saturday when the Feds were hitting Little Village and Cicero

Sens. Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.) Maggie Hassan (N.H.) Sens. Jacky Rosen (Nev.), Tammy Baldwin (Wis.), Mark Kelly (Ariz.), Jon Ossoff (Ga.), Gary Peters (Mich.) Dick Durbin (Ill.) the Democrats who are are considered by R's as possible “yes” votes for the deal.

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant” He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota
