As the next chair of the Social Security Subcommittee, a top priority will be to expand Social Security benefits by at least $2,400 a year & extend Social Security’s solvency for generations. How? By scrapping the cap & demanding that the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes.

So I see election euphoria has dissipated and the left is back to the dopamine of factional savaging. I guess if you're good at something, just keep it up.

Need I remind people that Chuck Schumer REFUSED to endorse Zohran Mamdani after he became the DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE for the mayor of Chuck's own city.

I’ll say this: voters in places like Murfreesboro, TN didn’t send a Democrat from a safe red district to Congress because they want to go back to status quo democratic leadership
NEW: House Dems "inundated" w/ calls & emails urging them not to elect Jeffries speaker One member told @axios they got "300-400" calls in 2 days Another said "over 500" A third said "higher" than 500: "It's our No. 1 issue, and it's not close." axios.com/2026/11/06/jeffrie…

Merci bien, Monsieur Le President.
🇫🇷Macron: "When we are serious, we do not say the opposite of what we said the day before. Perhaps we should not speak every day. We are basically dealing with an Idiot." Bro indirectly telling Trump that he is a big clown.

The blue tsunami was driven by seismic changes in American politics. The topography is different. A party with an outdated map might get lost.

Profit and control
How come AI is treated as inevitable & something we must adapt to and accept, but renewable energy technology, sustainable infrastructure and electric cars aren’t treated with the same urgency or certainty?

I might not remember where my glasses are but I won't forget who enabled a madman.

It's not just Schumer and Jeffries. It's Hillary and Biden and Harris and every other establishment play that gave us Trump TWICE. 10 years of MAGA. We voted blue, not Dem. Read the fucking room.

The 'because we said so and we know best' justification from the team that lost to Trump twice seems ... flawed given recently expressed voter sentiment.
You are truly unserious if you think Dems are going to oust Hakeem Jeffries from Speaker. Why? 1/ No fcking way the Congressional Black Caucus lets anyone topple the first Black SOH. 2/ He's Pelosi's protegé, relatively young, and barely had a chance to really lead the caucus.

Speaker Mike Johnson SHUT CONGRESS down two months before the election in order to PROTECT PEDOPHILES and some of you don't understand the ass kicking on Tuesday night?

😡 Pedo-Protector Trump and his administration MUST be held ACCOUNTABLE for these tragic, needless deaths‼️ 😢 Everyone directly and indirectly involved with these murders should go to prison‼️ ... Agree❓️
We made sure their voices were heard. 💔 Rest in Peace 🕊️ Rest in Power 🕯️

I went by the Fritz’s memorial when I was walking around Charleston election day morning And as SC folks know, he didn’t want this tribute - he pushed for the fed courthouse on Meeting St to instead honor Judge Waties Waring (a judicial hero of the Civil Rights movement who dissented on Briggs and, like John Minor Wisdom, should be better known by history)
The last Democratic Senator from South Carolina? Ernest Hollings. Here's Lindsey Graham (R) tribute Nov. 16, 2004: "As you can tell by his accent, which is the ultimate low country accent, he is from Charleston. If you had to create an image of a Senator, he would be my model."

Which is why the power structure in Congress has to change. You don't go to war with the generals who lost the last one.
Hinojosa: I say that the left right paradigm just does not meet the moment of our time. What this is about is about 99.9% of us in the same boat against like 15 billionaire tech guys who are controlling government…
