I would love to see them convene publicly as a caucus. They might vote on steps to take once in the majority. It would be news no one could ignore.
Democrats should hold a press conference and announce that if Mike Johnson has no interest in running the House they'd be happy to do it for him

A rare admission from the administration that policy choices have knock-off effects.

In this case: immigration crackdowns raise your grocery bill.

The cruelty is the point
In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

This one hits deep. The decision to wipe out the special education office isn’t just another bureaucratic “cut” it’s a betrayal of children who already fight every day to be seen, heard, and supported.

So they haven’t caught the guy and you don’t have a ton of leads? Maybe sending all your federal law enforcement agents to help ICE and dismantling the JTTF and firing the head FBI field office for political reasons wasn’t the best idea.

So twice they've now claimed they caught the shooter only to backtrack and say they had the wrong person? Twice?

You're either on the side of Epstein, Maxwell, and Donald Trump, along with lies, cover-ups, sex traffickers, and abusers.

OR

You back survivors, truth, accountability, and WANT TO RELEASE ALL OF THE EPSTEIN FILES. This isn't hard. It's one or the other. You cannot be both.

"They're takin' our jobs!" has NEVER been true.

It's a lie to make US-born people resent immigrants and get them to support harsh, cruel, anti-immigrant measures.

No US-born citizens are rushing to fill the jobs undocumented people were doing.
