Democrats & friends CAN win a supermajority in both houses of Congress.

Trump & his policies are hated enough to do so.

It means a hard, full court press by everyone - laser focused on republican controlled offices. No distracting internal fighting.

If succeed Trump can be impeached & removed.

Republicans are the party of pedophiles. That’s why he has to think about it!

I know invoking Latin terms can be a bit esoteric, and "dementia" is fine and accurate, but I think there's real merit in zeroing in on the relevant legal concept: he is non compos mentis. Not just that he's a batty old man, he is debilitated in a concrete legal sense, fit for conservatorship.

Eric Michael Garcia @ericmgarcia.bsky.social · 3d

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:

“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“

This is a link to what I think is the whole interview. Recommend listening it out completely. Very credible in my opinion.

Release the EPSTEIN FILES!

All the assault allegations against Donald Trump, recapped

Their charges range from an unwanted touch from behind to aggressive, sudden kissing to fingers groping up their skirt and into their underwear. Donald Trump and his campaign insist all of the stories...

Let’s call a spade a spade. Republicans own this shutdown.

A post from Robert Reich. The text says, "Just an FYI: We’re not facing a “government shutdown.” This is a Trump-MAGA Republican shutdown. Call it what it is."

Democrats are standing up for Americans by demanding Republicans cancel the cuts, lower the costs, and save health care!

@sanders.senate.gov: You're telling the American people that the American Medical Association–representing hundreds of thousands of people–have been co-opted and that they should not trust their doctors?

Everybody is corrupt, but you? Is that what we're looking at? I don't think so

Aftyn Behn is the Democratic nominee for Congress in TN7 district, traditionally strongly GOP. This is a critical election for the nation and in stopping Trump’s policies. Dems and families worrying about healthcare,etc, care who wins. Can we find the funds, volunteers for every door for her win?

Rep. Aftyn Behn @aftynbehn.bsky.social · 3d

Aftyn Behn Wins the Democratic Primary!

It’s official — Aftyn Behn is the Democratic nominee for Congress in Tennessee’s 7th District! 💙

This victory belongs to every volunteer, voter, and believer who knocked doors, made calls, and showed that people power still wins in Tennessee.

Funders of Dem candidates:

Rule in engineering: “better” is the enemy of “good”

These are extreme times. Currently, all Dem members of Congress are “good” in terms of votes on most important issues.

So, suggest don’t fund primaries against seated Dem but focus funding against all seated GOPers.
