Senator Chuck Schumer just voted to advance the BAAJA bill, which would eviscerate the Endangered Species Act and the Clean Water Act while harming Indigenous communities.
In case you wanted another reason why he should not be the Majority Senate Leader.

Hamilton's responses are just, "Please think of the insurance companies."
HAMILTON: “I don't think Medicare for all is the right approach. And even though it sounds great, I don't think it's going to pass… I think what we need to do is figure out, how do we ensure that everyone has access to affordable health care, no matter who they are? But I think even using the term Medicare for all alienates a whole group of people that we need to be able to pass some kind of health care reform that allows everyone to have affordable health care.”

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
ALT Truthout screenshot: Jeffries Says He Opposes Medicare for All — Which Would Save 114k Lives Yearly This is a reversal of his prior stance on the legislation, which he once cosponsored.

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!
I'm optimistic that Democrats will end up with 53 seats (or more?) in the senate.
Progressive senators that can be elected tonight.
-Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan
- Peggy Flanagan in Minnesota
- Troy Jackson in Maine
- Angie Nixon in Florida

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.
Centrists will sacrifice civil rights for power. Just look at Haley Stevens jumping over to Republicans.
The same centrist politicians & pundits who backed Haley will sacrifice trans people in 2028 demanding we moderate on trans issues.
Don't listen to them.

There is a type of “centrist” which prefers the far right to social democrats opposed to genocide.
Here is a classic example

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.

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.

Congratulations to Lula on his extraordinary reelection victory in the Brazilian presidential election.
Lula has stood up for Brazilian workers & democracy — and will continue to do so in the next four years.

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.

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". 🥴🤡
