With every overperformance, it only seems likelier that Democrats will retake one or both houses of Congress by a decent margin.
It's important that they run on a clear promise to hold Trump and his goons accountable, so they can hit the ground running in 2027 with a mandate to do so.

Donald Trump just put out a VILE post about the Obamas to distract from a report that shows the HIGHEST LAYOFF NUMBERS SINCE 2009.

Alabama deserves better than “leaders” who want to take us back 100 years.

I suspect there are a lot of House Democrats in their 70s or 80s who think they're going to coast back into a comfortable leadership position by keeping their head down and riding the blue wave, but they're going to have to navigate these kinds of challenges first and most are not ready at all.

“Don’t talk to me about my own morality,” DeLauro shot back.
“Don’t tell your constituents what they can and can’t talk to you about,” replied Rev. Nathan Empsall. “What you are voting for is not moral.”

The only thing we/you <know> is that the US military, at Trump &/or Hegseth's orders, just murdered more civilians on the high seas. We don't know it was "a suspected drug smuggling boat" & we have absolutely zero reason to believe anything they say anymore.

The latest U.S. strike on a suspected drug smuggling boat has killed two people in the Pacific, this one authorized by the Marine general who took command of military operations in Latin America and the Caribbean earlier in the day.
