The media: Democrats must offer up new ideas if they want to win back voters and be relevant in elections.

Also the media: Zohran Mamdani is dangerous for the Democrats.

When people are all, “but what should democrats be saying?” This. This is what democrats should be saying…
I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.

Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States.
That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

Immigration is a “crime” just as smoking pot is a “crime.” We are a nation built on immigration. We wouldn’t have a country without immigrants (most of whom were forced to come here). We shouldn’t be afraid of this topic. It is inherent to our country’s origin

If this Fascist administration can ignore court mandated orders to bring home wrongfully imprisoned humans, then I for sure don’t have to pay my parking ticket.

To recap the three longest filibusters on the senate floor:

3) Ted Cruz filibusters against giving poor people healthcare

2) Strom Thurman filibusters
against giving black people rights and equality

1) Cory Booker filibusters against fascism

How do we keep losing elections people?

Dems should absolutely vote no on the CR until they get concessions that the GOP abide by their constitutional duty as a co-equal branch of government. The people are with them here. The problem is the media will blame the Dems for creating a government shut down.
