Why do Democrats insist on this terrible “bipartisan” idea to repeal section 230? I’m sure hundreds of people have explained to them it will make the internet less safe and less independent. Ending 230 is literally a Project 2025 goal.
Sen. WHITEHOUSE: We finally are moving to file a bipartisan Section 230 repeal bill. Waiting any longer serves no useful purpose.

I’m a fan of @warren.senate.gov on so many issues, but she is just wrong on KOSA. And it sucks she can’t even meet with concerned constituents over it.
Last month, a growing coalition of Massachusetts-based LGBTQ+ organizations sent a letter to @warren.senate.gov and requested a meeting with the Senator to discuss her previous support for #KOSA given the Trump admin's weaponization of the FTC to target trans healthcare.
The office ignored us.

The House bill being voted on today to require cash bail in DC is insane.
DC hasn’t had cash bail since 1992, and crime has plummeted since.
Our current system is near identical to federal law.
People should be held pretrial if they pose a safety risk — not because they are too poor to pay bail.

Democratic party leadership has been on autopilot for ten years, they weren't losing to fascism, fascism isn't popular enough for them to lose to fascism, they were allowing it to fill the void where their leadership should have been. Tonight we're seeing that we have other options. They should too.

A bad idea, expressed badly. Just absolute word salad from Jeffries on a softball question he knew was coming. I know who *isn’t* the future of the party, that’s for sure.
