This is MAGA. This is what we are fighting.

They don’t want bipartisanship, they don’t want to work with you, they want you DEAD.

This is why we criticize Dems who cave to MAGA. You aren’t being “bipartisan”; you’re being an example of Stockholm Syndrome.

Kudos to Vindman for hitting back.
You read that right.The President of the United States just called for six Democratic Members of Congress — all who served our country — to be hanged.

These calls for political violence are absolutely unacceptable, yet "President Bone Spurs" continues to stoop to unimaginable lows.

🇺🇸 This #Veterans Day, honor our vets by sharing the facts. For many veterans, service doesn’t end when they come home. Veterans make up nearly 1 in 4 federal employees, and 15% of the National Park Service. The federal government is the largest employer of veterans in the country. #VeteransDay #NPS

For the first time all year, Democrats were riding high and the regime was on the ropes.

If Senate leadership’s goal was to demobilize and depress rank-and-file Democrats, they could not have played their cards better.

This is why we’ve launched the largest primary program that we’ve ever run.
Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him

And they should, given this is his fault.
This is a lovely sentiment but Schumer isn't up for re-election until 2028 and he knows this. At which point he will be 77/78. There's no mechanism to recall a sitting senator AFAIK.
Let’s be clear: Chuck Schumer is the one ending this shutdown, no matter how the votes read.

Chuck Schumer is claiming that he’s voting no, while letting other Senators (Fetterman, Kaine, King, etc) do HIS dirty work.

He must be removed from his leadership & primaried for the sake of this country

The American people want fighters. Instead we got sold out.

Enough is enough. Contact your Democratic senators TODAY and tell them to call for Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. We desperately need new leadership in the Democratic Party.

Meet the Cowardly Eight. These eight Democrats snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. But they are just a symptom of a larger problem; the DNC and its leadership are woefully out of touch with its constituents and reality.

For fellow Virginians, I’ll leave this here:

In March, after Schumer last surrendered, we called an emergency meeting of Indivisible leaders. 92% told us to call on him to step down from leadership (which we did).

In a poll over this weekend, 98.67% said we should keep up the fight.

Rank & file Dems are going to be PISSED!
Either way, so many Dems... the bulk of the Senate caucus, House leadership, governors, etc.,... all quickly throwing down the gauntlet with such open unrestrained attacks on any Dems who cave is new. It wasn't like that in March, not nearly as loud and widespread and immediate, much more base-only.

We tried to show them after the last surrender. There's no sense in trying to convince them anymore. Primaries are the only path to a fighting opposition party now.

Friendly reminder that we are partnering with @culpeperdems.bsky.social to host a food drive.

While the Trump administration and his Republican enablers refuse to take care of their citizens, we refuse to have our friends and neighbors go hungry.

We cannot thank the Culpeper PD enough for all they did to ensure our established safety plan was implemented last week.

Help us show our appreciation with a note or a baked good!
