AJC Politics: Georgia U.S. Rep. David Scott has died The Atlanta Democrat was 80 years old and had filed to run for a 13th term in Congress. 22 Apr 2026

First article is from February. Second is today. The math is simple. Democrats need to be less polite and deferential toward seniority and instead focus on seizing, holding and wielding real, durable political power.

ONCE AGAIN, this demonstrates the party's lack of commitment in that regard.

Jay Bhattacharya has ordered that a paper showing the effectiveness of COVID19 vaccines in preventing severe disease and hospitalization be suppressed and hidden.

This man has been crying nonstop about political censorship for 6 years.

But he’s the one who is actually doing it.

I need you all to remember ICE is still destroying families and assaulting people daily.
Don't forget to keep protesting.

If we could get this version of Hakeem Jeffries 50% of the time, we'd be in good shape. He’s a solid caucus manager, but he spends most of his time filibustering subpar zingers, besides his occasional gestures toward legal sedevacantism.

Coin flip ratio would be much better. Sweep the leg, Jeffries

One of the most telling pics of the year ... so far.

People who were openly rooting for a president-for-life a year ago mad about gerrymandering sounds like you’re just losers who don’t like losing

I expect Schumer and Jeffries will draw exactly the wrong lesson from this. They'll say it mobilized Republicans and we should tone it down for November. Instead of simply saying, "It mobilized Republicans and we still outnumbered them and won."

The lesson here is that Democrats need to floor it.

She's also advocated for the Iranian people under this continuation of the extremist regime.
 
But now that she's leading the case to impeach Pete Hegseth, bad actors are trying to launch a smear campaign against her.

Like me, she's supported affordable housing plans to decrease homelessness. She has also supported the JCPOA—the Iran nuclear deal under President Obama that kept us safe before Trump's war.

The threats against Rep. Ansari, her family, and her staff must be met with the highest condemnation. 
 
As the youngest female member of Congress and the first Iranian American elected in Arizona, Rep. Ansari has spent her life fighting for her community.

Americans should prepare to hide these people in attics and basements, like Jews in World War II. We owe it to them.

I love that every 72 hours or so Donald Trump tries to just quit the war in Iran

Cory Booker is a theater kid who can’t fathom a world where people don’t want to listen to him speak. The guy is a poser.

This is allowed to continue because our elected representatives in Congress are far too comfortable with the status quo. They react, sure, then they fail to respond.

I'm still thinking about this.

It's so cool that all you need to get "right-wing populist" bona fides is say utterly vapid shit like this and throw in the word "afford"

The Confederacy Finally Loses Its Tax Break Better late than never; but damn, was that late

Freedom isn’t free, and white supremacist treason worship shouldn’t be tax-deductible.

The Supreme Court has been complicit in the undermining of trust, Moynihan argued: By allowing Trump to claim these powers, the Supreme Court is weakening the ability of a future president or Congress to repair the damage he is doing today. If the court goes all in on unitary executive theory, it weakens the ability of Congress to bind the president from doing bad things.

No surprise here that graduates are seeing the opportunities available to them in the best big city in the nation.

Pretty dumb to disrupt BlueSky, since like 99% of the people here oppose the war, often vocally.

Mike - why do you suppose Republicans in Congress aren’t intimidated by you?

And do you think that your inability to stand up to Republicans over the past seventeen years may have impacted the way Republicans approach the negotiating table?

Opportunist will say anything. Do not believe his contrition.

If democrats retake Congress and the White House, watch as the fumbling centrists of the party suddenly grow a spine advocating for restraint and norms.

Establishment democrats are criminally negligent already. Get them on the record now.

Washington ordered smallpox inoculations for the Continental Army beginning in 1777.
