Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

I don’t care if Schumer voted no. If he’s unable to wrangle the caucus, he’s not an effective leader. I’ll continue to push for the caucus to elect a new one.

“We’ve been kinda fighting then we got tired and scared and stopped fighting, so you’re on your own. Sucks for you.”

Portland's FX2 dares to ask the question: what if a bus rapid transit line came infrequently, had very little dedicated right-of-way, and had to stop for at-grade train crossings.

Is he admitting he has no control of his own caucus? And if so, when is he resigning?

Every Democratic senator who votes for this should be primaried.

“People are blaming republicans for food prices and flight cancellations and health insurance costs and are furious about gilded ballrooms and Gatsby parties and the president is falling asleep on tv and is the most deeply unpopular president in history, time to cave” is a hell of an argument

I'm legitimately confused about the play here. No person who now is going to go without coverage in the ACA is going to just blame the GOP. They will rightly blame the Democrats too. Dems won't get "points" for "fighting" if they cave. It makes little sense.

“It is easy to forget, when watching the out-of-control money train on fire that is college athletics, that there are human beings at the center of it all.” Keeping the humanity in the center of sports is the best way to be a fan. Keeping humanity in the center of sports is challenging in this era.

This is absolutely the case. I’ve seen a huge uptick in Buckman/Belmont. Fewer tents or “prepared” shelters but the very improvised beds of people who have had their previous shelter possessions taken or destroyed. You can’t end homelessness without homes.

anyways here's the platform for 2026

The 2020's will be the first decade since MAX opened without a new line opening

We used to build MAX lines and now we’re debating whether we can afford paint for bus lanes bikeportland.org/2025/11/07/t...

If this happens, I will tell other people’s children and grandchildren about how when things seemed bleak, Portlanders defeated the advance of fascism with frog play.

Who is Katie Wilson? She’s head of the Seattle Transit Riders Union. Her platform proposes to massively increase funding for affordable housing, cut red tape for development, shift away from single occupancy cars, & develop the transit network. And she may well be the next mayor of the city.

I cannot emphasize enough how much Zohran Mamdani's campaign was very much about a platform focused on accountability, but also about having fun, fostering genuine connections with its citizens, and reminding people why they moved to New York City and should still want to live there

Actually, if you're an American, you have a right to believe as you choose.

​“I get emails from the New York State Democrats, and you look at the list of meetings, and all it is is fundraisers. There are no meetings. And who holds meetings? The Democratic Socialists of America holds meetings. The Working Families Party holds meetings. ”

"I unequivocally reject identity politics" i scream, right before selecting my five gallon cowboy hat for my Fox Business interview.

The fuckers got away with it. The company. The people who made the decisions. All of them. They got away with killing hundreds for the sake of a few cents per share of increased earnings. 🤬

All the more reason to support @councilormorillo.bsky.social’s detention center impact fee

Sounds like a WIN WIN to me! "Common sense people" will impeach him.... he said it himself.

Portland is now allowing single stair apartment buildings up to 4 stories, per the 2025 building code... with a giant caveat www.portland.gov/ppd/commerci...

Cars are to transportation what billionaires are to American society... there's way more of them than we need and the forces that maintain their dominance make life worse for the rest of us. Mamdani understands that. bikeportland.org/2025/11/05/m...

Zohran Mamdani won young men 18-29 by 40 points. 40! And he did so by standing FOR economic justice, FOR Trans rights, FOR immigrant rights, FOR labor rights, FOR Palestinian rights, & FOR diversity—& still unapologetically dunking on Trump. He is anti-MAGA w/o throwing people under the bus. 1/2

[Narrator: they lost 13 seats]

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.

Beating a guy in an election and quoting his dad in your victory speech is a FLEX.

A merry "fuck you" to Dan Ryan in particular tonight. Might I suggest that you touch grass in our lovely parks.

For the Transit Nerds!

Reminder that this is a winning position, and people support it

haahahahha eat shit you racist groping ghoul.

This is good news in the sense that it’s a break-glass-in-case-of-fascism necessary evil, but if and when we have restored some semblance of sanity I hope we’re scheduling a national conversation about how this isn’t how anything ought to work.

Resign.

Charlotte's transport referendum has won. 1% sales tax increase is expected to generate $19 billion/20 years, funding: —Transit (40%): Red Line commuter rail, Silver Line light rail, Gold Line extension, Blue Line extension —Road projects (40%) —Bus improvements, creating frequent bus network (20%)

MSNBC calls NYC for Mamdani

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

Nothing says “Democratic Leader” quite like “I will not tell you who I voted for in a general election.”

He’s gotta go. He sucks so bad. Millennials need take over the Democratic Party, and I’m sorry to whoever that offends. Boomers ruined the “American Dream” for us so we aren’t nostalgic for the good old days when white men ran everything. We live in reality.

Donald Trump is the most powerful person in the world. Only a monster would use that power to force 42 million Americans to go hungry.

Exactly. Show him his post first. Put it up on a screen. Then ask him virtually any question about any word, phrase, or sentence in it.
