Ain't good. Compared to Senate Dems, House Dems have less leverage. One exception is the budget fight. But here's the Dem House Leader TODAY declining to use that leverage.
If you have a Dem rep, ask them to use their leverage. And tell them to tell Jeffries to lead.
Stay tuned - more to come.

Senator Schatz, @schatz.bsky.social, rejects idea that Dems should wait for Trump to touch 'most popular' programs to fight.
"I'm not going to just wait until they touch the ACA. That's the kind of pundit-brain, poll-tested bullshit that got us into this mess."

Genuine question. He is committing a crime, publicly. Why is no one arresting him?
Musk Minions have tucked into their sofa beds a little early after a long, hard day of stealing people’s data.
We’re heading home and I’ll try to post more video once my hands warm up.
Thank you again. Just overwhelmed by people’s support.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

It’s a coup. That’s what’s happening. It doesn’t matter if it’s only been two weeks. Impeachable offenses aren’t like wine. They don’t need to age.
If Dems don’t call it impeachable now, it won’t be effective to call it impeachable later. Go on record now.

John Fetterman’s a disgrace to the oaf community. He does not represent America’s lumbering buffoons, ham-fisted galoots, or men whose heavy footsteps are soundtracked by a tuba.

Let me state this is bluntly as I can, as a biographer of both Donald Trump and Elon Musk: Vladimir Putin is now inside the U.S. government, with visibility into absolutely everything. He has that access through Trump, Musk, and David Sacks.

The AG can set direct precedent in immigration court.
Matt Gaetz is Trump’s pick for Attorney General. For context, the AG is in charge of the immigration courts & immigration judges, neither of which have judicial independence. This means he will have the power to shape the outcomes of over 3M pending deportation & asylum cases.
