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.

“We need a new generation of leadership in Washington, career politicians have absolutely failed us” “If we can pull off this victory it’ll absolutely stun Washington” Show up on December 2nd! Yesterday proved that the current democratic leadership is out of touch, this is the start to fixing it!

"Outrage and betrayal" AOC on House Dem.

Yes! GTFO. We busted our ass in CA to pass prop 50. Not because it's best for CA but because we need to defend democracy and protect the people. Either we are in this together or we're not. The 8 spineless dems + Chuck who betrayed their own party and the people, don't deserve their seats.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult. A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates. When will party leadership learn this lesson?

Good morning. Not just Black Friday, rather today and every day because clearly they still aren't listening so let's hit 'em where it hurts. Drastically reduce spending now 🧜🏼‍♀️💙

Pay attention to what Democratic candidates are saying right now. Find and support the fighters. Having a spine must be a litmus test issue in 2026 and beyond.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

@padilla.senate.gov Thanks for the no vote. As one of your CA constituents, I appreciate it. Now, we need you to vote the incompetent Chuck Schumer OUT. We need true leadership ASAP.

And yet, capitulate they did. The base is pissed off. We've been let down in the biggest way imaginable. How do dems, all of them, recover from the weak / dirty 8?

If Chuck Schumer was a stronger leader, he would have been able to convince most of these senators to hold the line. I’m terribly disappointed in him.

I'm beyond angry. What was all this pain for? We had an oppty to effect positive change. Instead? Roll over. Bend over. Clap your hand like circus monkeys. F*^k them.

Every single one of us who has supported the shutdown from day 1 feels betrayed in a way that's going to be nearly impossible to repair. Y'all made us look and feel like fools. We're not blind, stupid followers like MAGA. We know when we've been fucked around and we will remember every second of it.

Please don’t think this beltway game of having retiring Dem senators vote yes while everyone else votes no is going to shield leadership from the end result. We see what is happening and can’t be fooled by those games.

I'm looking to see not only which Senate Dem candidates oppose this surrender (all of them will) but also where they go beyond this with respect to senate leadership. I want to see concrete promises for a new fighting Dem Party, because the current one is broken.

It should be that simple.

Happiest Horse in the World

This is BRUTAL. Trump LOUDLY BOOED at the Commanders game. America lets him know exactly how they feel — to his face.

Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

And yet, GOP refused. This ongoing shutdown, skyrocketing healthcare premiums and food insecurity are 1000% on their shoulders. Spread the news.

Love this. So inspiring!

100%

They also want sick and poor people who will desperately accept what little bit they are given.

Until the end of the government shutdown, our campaign will be donating $2,500 a month to a food pantry in the Ninth District. And to my fellow candidates, I challenge you to do the same:

Quit Amazon and all of their affiliates now! They have already started replacing workers with robots. Their goal is to replace half a million workers with robots. Their reason? Humans are inefficient and cutting into their bottom line. But they need humans to buy their products so stop buying them!

🚨BREAKING: More than 200,000 Missourians have signed a petition supporting a referendum to block Republicans’ new gerrymandered congressional map. But GOP officials are working to thwart them at every turn. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

If Starbucks baristas have to strike, we’re striking too — with our wallets. Don’t shop at Starbucks if baristas are on strike. No contract, no coffee. Period. #NoContractNoCoffee

What if we all stopped reposting NYT articles or even screenshots of their horrible headlines? We could just not interact with trash at all.

Zohran Mamdani was the first NYC mayoral candidate to win more than one million votes since John Lindsay in 1969. Plus Zohran won 70% of voters under 45. Yes 70%! Yet we see some trying to gaslight us into saying Zohran did not win a mandate. What Zohran did is what a mandate looks like!

Now THAT’S a Project I can support!! 👊

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

TurboTax makers Intuit have lobbied the government for years to block free public tax-filing. Now Trump has terminated the free IRS Direct File program, nearly a year after Intuit gave his inauguration $1M. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Says it all. Zero empathy.

🚨BREAKING: After my team defeated them in court on Monday, Republicans have filed a motion to drop their latest lawsuit to block Virginia redistricting. Overall, the GOP and their proxies are now 0-2 in Virginia and 0-5 in California. www.democracydocket.com/cases/virgin...

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Hey Dems I found your new slogan!

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike. Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%. Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

🔴 Ya were on the ballot ‼️ That's why ya lost BIGLY ‼️🐥

Think back to how you felt a year ago when Trump was reelected. Now think about how you feel after last night's election. You volunteered. You went to protests. You didn't check out. You put in the work required for our democracy — and it's paying off. Remember this.

Get ready for Chump's response. More election rigging, more military on our streets. The man baby in Washington can't lose (it's against every narcissist bone in his body) and lose big he did. But we can all stand strong together, and bring forth a better future. Bring it on, man baby.

“If we lost the majority in the house... they will try to end the Trump administration. He won't have 4 years, he'll have only 2–because they will move to impeach him, probably on the first day of the new Congress… and they will try to systematically unwind all [our fascist] reforms.” Sounds great!

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.

Mamdani's victory speech should be a roadmap for the entire Democratic party if they actually want to take regaining power seriously.
