I've been a liberal since I voted for Carter in '76, with the exception of voting for Reagan in '80 (I bought into his💩 , but woke up quickly). I'm encouraged by a new generation of Democrats who are not afraid to stand up for what they believe in.

When social safety nets like universal health care that have been proven to work over & over worldwide are accused of being radical ideas that won't work in USA, then either accusers are lying to Americans, or they're the reason USA is so broken that proven social safety nets won't work.
Or both 🤔

Lately I’m starting to doubt my belief that trying and convicting Donald Trump after his term is up would be a slam dunk.
Convincing a judge that he’s mentally unfit to stand trial would be a slam dunk by his lawyers.

I just want to say for the record that when the history books are written centuries from now, I believe the election of Donald Trump in a free and fair election in 2024 will go down as one of the most senseless and self-destructive own goals in human history

One of the biggest mistakes Dems made in transition is in not having Jack Smith testify openly about Jan6 before Durbin lost his gavel.

Trump and Republicans in Congress seem to love socialism for the rich -- corporate welfare, subsidies, and tax breaks galore. Yet they demand harsh capitalism for the rest of America.

This is how you do it. If Trump sues you, tell him, "If you were harmed, prove it" by producing your medical records, prescriptions, and income tax statements.

Kinda funny how Pete Hegseth puts out a trove of snuff porn videos showing people on boats getting blown to bits so he & his MAGA bros can jack off to them,
but when Dems call for release of 1 specific video, he says he can't because it's classified.
And the manly MAGA jackoffs are now ok w/that?

Elon Musk said he’d spend less on elections after a falling out with Trump.
He's now reportedly donating to Republicans again ahead of the 2026 midterms.
Musk pulled the strings early on in Trump 2.0.
It now appears that he wants even more influence within the GOP.

Republican voters have a gullibility problem.
Democratic voters have a scapegoating problem.
Gullibility is very hard to fix.
But I have faith that Democratic voters can fix their scapegoating problem, and it'll lead to better candidates, better messaging and bigger wins for them.
Blue waves. 🇺🇸👊

I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI.
The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.

Every time Lindsey Graham says something like this I can't help but imagine him smearing feces over his face and then saying "Yeah, I'm a tough renegade, what are you going to do about it?"
This "bad boy look" he strives for is not working the way he thinks it is.
