NEW: Sen Bennet (D-CO) endorses mid-decade redistricting effort to create new Dem seats in Colorado to counteract GOP gerrymandering elsewhere. Bennet's rival for the 2026 Gov nomination, AG Phil Weiser, came out in favor weeks ago.

Hmmmm.... the original Kiggans-Gottheimer bill was a simple 1-year extension with no other provisions, so this is either a different bill or a modified version of that one since the story claims it includes some other things (none of which sounds awful).

ICE should be prosecuted for attempted murder, of this citizen and of every other person whose life they have endangered.

Kamala and the DNC published one, her detractors on the extreme left ignored it, then accused the Democrats of not having a platform at all.
The extremist left wing of the Democrats will help sink it again if they don't get off their high horse and come back to the reality of the situation we are ALL facing. Need to get in the door then we can start talking about issues that the extremes refuse to let go of. What happened to platforms?

I can remember when I was looking at the PA senate race. I supported Lamb due $ and flipping a seat to blue.
Those days are over for me. Black women got screwed over in Nov and all bets are off.
Black folks phuck waiting to compete. Do it. Ignore the donors, etc. Bet on yourself. Run to win.

The “ replacement theory” ideology is also within the Democratic Party and you see it manifested every time there’s pushback against Black people running for office .. at any/all levels.
It ain’t just republicans/christian nationalists who are afraid of Black political power

This new Politico poll should stop us all in our tracks!
50% of Americans are struggling to afford groceries, let’s start there. Then add the fact that we have a president who thinks we’re lying about it.
I’m just waiting for the next poll that asks, “Does the president care about people like me?”
