"I don’t want Jared Kushner to be investigated because he’s the president’s son-in-law. I want him investigated because he’s potentially laundered and embezzled $2 billion dollars in funds from the governments of Saudi Arabia and the UAE. I don’t want Stephen Miller investigated because he’s a racist ghoul who’s at the center of the Trump brain trust. I want him investigated because he’s a racist ghoul who has violated the due-process rights of millions of people and, potentially, directly violated court orders. I don’t want Pete Hegseth investigated because he’s a toxic psychopath who is unqualified to lead America’s military forces. I want him investigated because he’s a fucking murderer who needs to spend the rest of his life in jail, either in this country or The Hague." thenation.com/article/politi…

People fucking died. Families lost healthcare. Children are going hungry. We have concentration camps, and he tore down part of the White House. I WANT ACCOUNTABILITY. I DO NOT WANT STRONGLY WORDED LETTERS.

Will Tuesday's "blue tsunami" lead to a lasting realignment in U.S. politics?
"To make sure that this truly becomes an anti-fascist coalition, the Democrats have to do the unthinkable. They have to listen to the demands of their voters," says @hasanthehun.

files and trials. law and order. belt to ass. it’s accountability time.
Hasan Piker's message to @TheDemocrats in the wake of the power they secured on Tuesday night. He wants the Democrats to put belt to ass on the Republican Party and the Trump regime:
"PUT BELT TO ASS! Ten years from when he went down that dogshit golden escalator. Ten fucking years of fucking destroying this country even when he was out of office. Ten years, we have sat around and had to eat shit. We have never had this resounding of a victory. If the Democrats do not use the real people's mandate that we gave them on Tuesday, we will make them follow through.
This is a democracy. We will make sure you hold them to account and if you don't hold them to account, we'll hold YOU to account. We're going to continue mobilizing.
Put Jon Ossoff's sexy ass up on that fucking podium and put him to fucking work! He's so goddamn good at grilling people for the cameras; I want his fat ass sitting on a goddamn podium grilling the shit out of these people.
This is not about revenge. This is not about vengeance. This is about justice. This is about law and order."

I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.

For the next two years, the only time I want to see Democrats reach across the aisle is to serve them with fucking subpoenas.

Chuck Schumer did a poor job governing under Biden and should really be removed. His whole approach is to build massive bills to satisfy different little parts of the Dem coalition instead of crafting simple legislation that broadly benefits Americans.

Mehdi Hasan: “You know what I think the Democrats should do? First, get rid of the filibuster in the Senate. Making Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico states and adding four Senators should be priorities. Fixing the Supreme Court that was totally rigged by Donald Trump. You’re up against a fascist authoritarian movement. You must use every lever of power available to you to fight back. What happened to holding the high ground is that a convicted felon who incited an insurrection was re-elected in 2024 and he came to office and unleashed a racist militia that killed American citizens on the street”

Hasan Piker agrees:
"I have never seen this kind of talent coming from the Democratic Party in every fucking state, in every district, in every locality, up and down the motherfucking ballot.
Everyone did the exact things they were supposed to do. They were left populist in their rhetoric. They hyper-focused on the economy. The candidate selection this time around was phenomenal.
Just as Donald Trump changed the Republican Party in his own image, I think Bernie Sanders was able to change the Democratic Party in his image. Donald Trump did it through victory, Bernie did it in spite of his defeat. He might have lost the battle but he is winning the war."
Bernie Sanders lost the fight in 2016. A decade later, he won the war.
Sanders’ brand of laser-focused economic populism trounced MAGA this week — winning not just with El-Sayed in Michigan, but Talarico’s in Texas and other red states.
Bernie isn’t surprised.
“No, I am not shocked,” he told me. “It’s what I’ve always believed.”

Jon Stewart on Chuck Schumer: “Someone has to meet this moment. You have an opportunity to actually govern. One of the first things you need to do is remove that system of seniority from Democratic politics. It’s a bullshit system and it needs to go. Chuck Schumer fought tooth and nail against half of these fucking people. He does not understand the urgency of the moment and what the future demands”

I don’t want “revenge”. I want the people who have been openly, gleefully destroying the country, and breaking the law throughout, to be held legally accountable and prosecuted, which is the bare minimum for maintaining a functioning democracy. Incidentally, I also want revenge

They fired all the black and gay people, cut cancer research, cut healthcare for millions, cut food for starving children, killed hundreds of schoolgirls, separated families, put kids in camps, and shot people in the street. We better get fucking even

The Democratic 2029 project, for me, should look something like this:
- Statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C.
- Fix SCOTUS: wait for Alito and Thomas to retire or die, otherwise add four justices, although preferably the former
- A general amnesty for immigrants who have lived in the U.S. for many years, have family ties, are part of the workforce, etc.
- Use the DOJ to prosecute the entire Trump administration
- Repeal the Big Beautiful Bill
- Codify abortion rights
- Medicare for All
- Ban partisan gerrymandering and strengthen the VRA through major reform
- Deep tax reform, including wealth and land taxes
- Abolish ICE and create a new immigration and customs service
- A $15 minimum wage
- Support Ukraine
- Arms embargo on Israel and push for a two-state solution
- Strengthen relations with Europe and promote democracy in Latin America
Things the next Democratic Congress must do:
- Stop the war in Iran.
- End the tariffs.
- Subpoena every White House staffer and Trump associate.
- Launch an investigation into Elon Musk.
- Investigate corruption involving the entire Trump family.
- Launch an investigation into ICE.
- Impeach Pete Hegseth, RFK Jr. and Mullin.
