Just a reminder that Hakeem Jeffries came out against Medicare for All literally just days after a study found that it would save 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year

Over 50 DSA victories tonight prove socialism can win in the U.S. Workers deserve more and a reality where all of us live with dignity and hope is closer than we think. The job's not done, though. Tomorrow, we continue organizing, fighting, and winning for the working class!

Michigan Democrats are feeling even better today about nominating @AbdulElSayed to fight for our working class families. Three days to go, let’s tune out this nonsense and turn out the vote. Let's make sure Haley loses to Abdul twice.

Haley Stevens forgot to add “, which I support” to this post apparently:
Mike Rogers will vote for a national abortion ban. That’s it, that’s the post.

There is a type of “centrist” which prefers the far right to social democrats opposed to genocide. Here is a classic example
I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today.

I come from a Star Trek family. My mom grew up watching the original series, & my grandfather called her, a skinny kid, "Bones" after Dr. McCoy. My brother & I came up with TNG (our childhood dog's name was Mr. Worf), & as an elder millennial, Picard was *my* captain. Stewart played Picard with a perfect balance of stoicism, integrity & compassion that was reflected in how he lived his life. What a loss.
Revered actor Patrick Stewart, the Emmy-winning performer beloved for both his amiable persona and roles in popular franchises like 'Star Trek' and 'X-Men,' has died at age 86 🕊️

What a heartbreaking week it has been. Sir Patrick Stewart was a friend, a colleague, and a magnificent actor. From the stage to the bridge of the Enterprise, he brought intelligence, grace, and a deep sense of humanity to everything he did. Captain Picard stood for the best of us, and so did the man who played him. I was filled with affection and admiration for him and his work. My heart goes out to Sunny and his family. He will be deeply missed.

Throwing trans people under the bus shows voters you're a coward. Now, everyone sees Turek buckling under the lightest pressure and wonders how little it would take for him to sacrifice them.
#IowaSenate AdImpact: Josh Turek releases new ad in which he opposes trans women competing in women’s sports “No Iowan should face discrimination. As a Paralympian, I also know it's important to have rules.” “It's why I oppose males competing in female sports ... I'm against taxpayers paying for sex changes, too.”

Democrats actively deploying the 'Even If You Win You Lose' strategy....already. What Republican have you ever heard say some crap like this?
.@SenBrianSchatz says that if Democrats take the Senate, the party's left wing needs to be strategic about not proposing things "that the president of the United States is guaranteed to veto." "If we want to be more aspirational, if we want to make more bold policy changes... that's for 2028."

Joe Biden: • got Dems to turn on Me Too on behalf of his creepiness • proposed $30 billion in new police funding • had Dems pretending that reactivating Bush-era loan forgiveness Trump had ended was some sort of debt jubilee • single-handedly killed opposition to fracking; record-breaking fossil fuel extraction • ran on vetoing Medicare for All if it ever crossed his desk But sure, "Leftists". 🥴🤡

they would rather let republicans win than give in to the demands of the left. they hate facing their voters.
James Carville says he'd rather have Republicans keep control of the House than Democrats winning the chamber by 5 seats. "I would rather the Republicans keep the House by five than the Democrats win by five, because if that happens, they’re hostage to the DSA. Like, Hakeem cannot move. There’s no place for him to go."

Neera Tanden criticizing Ro Khanna for fighting for the billionaire tax is perfect. A complete admission of what’s actually going on here. A moment in which she has told on herself. Her and her faction speak for billionaires — and this is more proof of that.

Some pretty insane details on Gillibrand here including: – Her comms director bought up to 30k of bitcoin and ether one week before Gillibrand announced a bill putting both under friendlier CFTC oversight. – Her chief of staff invoked the Senator's role as the DSCC’s top fundraiser while pushing other Dem aides to back her crypto-friendly legislation -Her 22-year-old son raised $30M for a startup that is backed by crypto investors, including a key Gillibrand donor. Gillibrand on staff trading crypto: “I could care less what they do with their money. This is not a nanny state.”
I asked Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand if it bothers her that her staff trades crypto while she works on legislation that benefits the industry. “This is not a nanny state,” she said. Profiled crypto’s favorite Democrat for @NYMag: nymag.com/intelligencer/arti…

There’s a segment on this site that believes that there is some mythical imaginary group of Republicans who are going to vote for the Democrat because of this rhetoric. If this is the top issue for a voter, then they are so far gone and will not be voting for a Democrat.
