After you shower and moisturize, you don't put your dirty underwear back on, do you? This post is about Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumar.

People might want to take note: Ossoff, Talarico, Annie Andrews, and Roy Cooper all explicitly ran on banning prior authorization.

Nothing like tabling presidential aspirations in order to step up into the much less glamorous Majority Leader role right now could make @VanHollenForMD a more formidable future presidential candidate.

Sen. Van Hollen: Let me say this: there should be no coronation of the next Democratic leader.

I’m perfectly fine with my child-free taxes contributing to your children’s education, meals, and healthcare. I’m also happy to help fund your mother’s cancer treatment and your cousin’s insulin. That’s what a functioning society should look like. You’re welcome.

It needs to be made clear to democrats that anyone who votes for Schumer or Jeffries can kiss their presidential ambitions goodbye.

I would love if we could channel the datacenter backlash into curbing the excesses of Big Tech in general. Get screens out of cars. Get computers out of refrigerators. Stop surveilling everything all the time, stop forcing me into the app, stop trying to steal my data.

“Donald, if you're watching here, we'll put your name on it. You get to be the American president who finally guaranteed health care for every single American.” @mehdirhasan asks Dr. @AbdulElSayed what he’d do on his first day in office. His answer? Trumpcare for All.

The Cornell University Faculty Senate has spoken: They have NO CONFIDENCE in our President’s ability to move forward in leading the institution. While not surprising, the Board of Trustees’ continued support for Mike Kotlikoff is abjectly repulsive & unforgivable.

The question on university campuses should now be how to get rid of all the administrators who caved to and collaborated with a grossly unpopular political agenda, including curricular changes, reversals on diversity mandates, buying into AI hype, clamping down on Gaza protests…

On CNN, David Axelrod, Kasie Hunt, and Van Jones are already talking about breaking the GOP fever and coming together, coming back to civility. Completely misreading the moment. People are mad, they want the GOP to be stopped, they don't want "a middle ground"

I really do believe that Mamdani is the catalyst for this turn out. Like he showed that people’s voices matter and that you can vote for people who can actually do something to make things better.
