Just a liberal from the southwest fighting the good fight and talking to himself. Recovering Twitter addict. Toxically positive.
This is progress from ActBlue, but there is so much more work to be done. Action like this isn't meaningless, but until they kick off Mothership and their network of scampacs, it's mostly bluster. That's the elephant in the room.

Already breaking the first rule of Fight Club, but hell yeah! More of this please.
Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."
They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

transform[ing] American politics into a system for producing Republican victory.
Donald Trump does not regard normal Democratic politics as acceptable. This spring, at his direction, the DoJ initiated an investigation of illegal “foreign contributions” through the ActBlue website.

There once was an Gov Dept named DOGE
that was supposed to make things more financially efficient
It was formed by a dude named Elon
who turned out to be a big weird inappropriately jumping con
and fiscal efficiency became too expensive to afford it.
