I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

My Proposition: "The Democratic Party needs to Split". Change my mind?

Listening to these 8 Dem Senators explain their vote convinces me that they are either idiots or liars. Either is plausible.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

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

more a demon than a man!

Jay Jacobs' Nassau County Democrats, who got blown out, had as their message, "I do not support Mamdani, crime is going up and we need more cops."

The NYT is a right wing rag, exhibit 34576.

ICE isn’t going after the worst of the worst. This morning, they took a preschool teacher without a warrant IN FRONT OF CHILDREN in my district. #ice #chicago

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

Sobering news for a lot of top Democrats, tonight, as they realize people would prefer they actually fucking do something.

Leavitt: "At this moment in time, of course, the ballroom is really the president's main priority."

“.. The American intervention to prop up the Argentinian peso has failed. Despite the United States intervening .., the Argentine peso lost 10% of its value in the first two weeks of October, pushing the overnight interest rate to 157%.” @joebrusuelas.bsky.social $ARGT

I'm just a lowly art historian, but in moments like these I always think back to one early sign of Trump's wanton, pointless destructiveness: his demolition of the priceless & irreplaceable Art Deco relief sculptures on facade of the Bonwit Teller building, which he tore down to build Trump Tower

EXCLUSIVE: Embattled Trump nominee Paul Ingrassia told Republicans that the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday should be “tossed into the seventh circle of hell” and that he has “a Nazi streak,” according to a group chat viewed by POLITICO.

The close association of radical reactionary politics with the fossil fuel industry needs much more attention. Central to the appeal of the new fascism is the advocacy of internal combustion engines against electric vehicles, cars against public transport, coal and oil against renewable energy.

EXCLUSIVE: Thousands of leaked messages show leaders of Young Republican groups joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape in a private Telegram chat. Inside rising GOP leaders’ racist chats — obtained by POLITICO and spanning more than 7 months👇

Guess who just got both the updated COVID vaccine and flu shots today? Your dear Leader Trump. Maybe you should get them too. Sincerely, An Epidemiologist Who Told You Trump Would Get COVID Booster.

One of the many irritating things about MSNBC hosts is that they won't say the names of foreign political figures because they think that will be too confusing for the viewers. This is so patronizing and insular.

"I never thought that renowned puppy killer Kristi Noem would be so afraid of protesters wearing frog and chicken costumes but here we are!”🔥 ~ ANGELITA MORILLO, Portland City Council member #Portland #AngelitaMorillo

Your claim not to be surprised by something is of no interest whatsoever to anybody else.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them. Chuck Schumer has showed us time and time again that he is wholly incapable of understanding and meeting the dangerous moment we are in. It’s time for new (and better) Democratic leadership.

"Additionally, we will be charging a 30% Tariff on Upholstered Furniture"

I am amazed at just how inept the Democrats’ congressional leadership is on this moment of crisis. Trump is moving troops into blue cities and declaring war against the left, and these guys are complaining that the GOP Congress is pushing a partisan budget. Jesus Christ, wake the hell up.

Centrist Dems seem to think that the word 'distraction' is a magic spell which will make horrible things that they don't want to talk about vanish into thin air.

Hyundai is one of three major employers that keeps Montgomery afloat. We have world class Korean food and our local minor league baseball team suits up as the Montgomery Kimchi on Korean-US Friendship night. I just can't even with these people.

Hyundai should just go ‘Yeah, that $26bn? We’ll spend it in Mexico and Canada instead’

RFK Jr. is a charlatan. He is undermining the whole health care delivery system and taking away the science and technology that has saved millions of lives. www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_Sq...

Schumer is out of his fucking mind. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

"It is past time for both Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer to step down and step aside. This fascist moment, this age of Trump, demands outspoken, unrelenting and fearless opposition... we all deserve better." I make the case, in my latest for The Guardian, for new leadership:

Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."

Not to belabor the point but: I am not the weird one for being this mad at the Democratic Party and its leaders. Look at polls of your average rank and file Dem voters and how they feel about the party now. It is YOU who are out of touch if you’re asking why people are being mean to Dem politicians

I’ve heard from a couple of messaging strategists now that people shouldn’t post so much about COVID19 vaccines because it’s “divisive”. I am here to say that I do not give a damn what is popular. I will never ignore scientific evidence for the sake of expediency, and neither should anyone else.

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve on the Minnesota shooting: "The sad thing is we can't sit here and tell them that help is on the way. Because we're not going to do a damn thing about it."

Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.

Breakfast Club host Charlamagne says of Hakeem Jeffries: "I call him AIPAC Shakur." "I just don't think he stands for anything."

I am begging my fellow Dems to emerge from the reflexive “it’s a trap” position on these issues and realize that some things are very simple: the public doesn’t like the federal government turning the military against its own citizens.The public doesn’t like the armed occupation of a city.Period.

I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today. Donald Trump’s overreach is what our founders warned against – it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American. There’s no emergency here that calls for military intervention.

Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."

Shall we be dragged by him to the bottom of the sea? Shall we be towed by him to the infernal world?

"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.

The occupation of our capital city is not “a distraction.” It’s part of the dictator’s playbook. The attempt to rig the rules of the next election is not “a distraction.” It’s a direct threat to the will of the voters. Fighting for our democracy is not a distraction.

We systematically debunk RFKs claims on mRNA vaccine technology. His announcement cancelling vital funds was littered with inaccuracies. We believe the truth will prevail, and that’s why we are correcting the record. @nbcnews.com

I want to congratulate leading Democrats’ for their insistence on saying the takeover of DC is a “stunt” or a “distraction.” It’s a rare trifecta of intellectual failure, political stupidity, and moral obtuseness.
