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.

@repmarkdesaulnier.bsky.social How come it is always *other* Congresspeople speaking like this?
Your consituents do not want you support anything that funds this lawless, corrupt government.
Do not settle for anything less than concrete, actionable consequences, or make them shut it all down.

No “clean CR” exists when Trump defies Congress and unilaterally guts programs—from law enforcement to pediatric cancer research to clean energy projects.
Republicans want Democratic cover to keep breaking the law. Democrats won’t play along.

You need to know it's not "crazy" for experiences you endured decades ago to still affect you so much that you need to work a recovery today. The passage of time doesn't heal anything on its own.
If anything, it deepens wounds that are not properly understood or acknowledged.

Political violence is abhorrent. I have not celebrated Kirk's death.
But Newsom calling for his followers to "continue Charlie Kirk's work," someone who praised stoning gay people as "god's perfect law," who called for men to "take care of" trans people like they did in the 50s and 60s, is not it.

the redistricting is (very) good and the trolling is good and I think it’s useful to have him utilizing his ambition to actually fight back; I actually wrote a whole thread on this the other day

Can we agree that Newsom is an ally against Trump or is Newsom so tainted that we shouldn’t support his redistricting effort?

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:
- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention

Good for you @repmarkdesaulnier.bsky.social . More of this please.
Since we DID just have a vote on impeachment today, let's check in with the representatives who said that what Trump did was impeachable or unconstitutional, shall we?
As a reminder, here is the list of people who voted to continue consideration of Rep. Al Green's HRes 537.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.
