There are a LOT of good young Democrats who I'd be THRILLED to vote for.
There are a few BAD young Democrats I want no part of.
In short, I take these things race by race.
I don't vote for or against Olds just because they're old, or for youngin' just because they're young.
Good luck finding a PERFECT candidate.... there is none... if you're making that an excuse to stay home... then you clearly love what's going on now. The folks on the other side aren't voting for perfection... as we all are experiencing now.
A peer reviewed study shows a promising link between flu and shingles vaccines and a reduced risk of dementia. A heroin addict who cut off a raccoon’s penis for “further study” says these vaccines cause autism. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.
Other key state supreme court races this fall:
AZ: Author of 2024 opinion upholding Civil War-era abortion ban up for retention
MT: Moderate justice is retiring on court that has often thwarted GOP power grabs
NC: Anita Earls, one of two Dems on the bench, is up. Ds could win back majority in ‘28
As we approach the midterms the bots and ratfucks will increase their "Voting for Dems just holds up THE SYSTEM" and "Dems did nothing to stop this dont reward them" posts
Friends, these people are Republicans, destructive morons, or both
They are actively or passively attempting to enable Trump
I am so fucking tired of bluesky posters pretending to not know the difference between a majority and a minority for clout, and I’m even more tired of it working.
Democrats
Are
Doing
Their
Job
Demanding Clinton, Bush, Obama and Biden form Former President Voltron® after you gave the nuclear codes to Tang the Conqueror is some wild shit.
GET A FUCKING GRIP! First, THERE WILL BE ELECTIONS. How do I know, because we LITERALLY have massive elections TODAY. TODAY there are elections!
If you can’t think as far ahead as November, fine, think about today, this week, next week, this month, take it one election at a time, but understand the ELECTIONS ARE IMPORTANT. And if they weren’t, we wouldn’t be here.

But, impeachment takes the majority of the House and TWO THIRDS of the Senate. We CAN absolutely get the House majority in November, and the way things are going, we might even be able to get 2/3rds of the Senate.
You ask for a united message, they posted a united message, but it’s not good enough so you keep complaining.
Republicans have the majority. If you want, the house opened, if you want a chance for impeachment, you have to be contacting them, not screaming at our Dems.

There is quite literally NO mechanism for Democrats to hold a vote on anything unless Republicans allow it.
That's what being in the "minority party" means.
There are only two groups who can stop Trump
1) Republicans
2) voters
Until Republicans fear voters more than Trump, nothing changes.
Hakeem Jeffries just absolutely dog walked the Speaker of the House
AGAIN.
After Chuck Schumer did the very same last week to John Thune.
People bashing Dems are only doing it to help Republicans, and they should be called out for it.
You'd think Kat Abu's loss would have reminded people of this fact, but no, they've continued barreling forward with the idea that if they're just *more extreme* about Geopolitics, somehow a secret contingency of non-voting Democrats will come out of the woodwork to support them.
The notion that Biden wasn't a competent leader is one of the most ridiculous lies that too many in this country have mindlessly bought into. The entire Biden/Harris administration was a study in competence. JFC.
We appreciate and share the President’s determination to once and for all bring an end to the Democrat DHS shutdown. In the coming days, Republicans in the Senate and House will be following through on the President’s directive by fully funding the entire Department of Homeland Security on two parallel tracks: through the appropriations process and through the reconciliation process. We appreciate that Senator Graham and the Senate Budget Committee have already initiated the process of developing a budget resolution that will ensure border security and immigration enforcement will be funded for the balance of the Trump Administration and insulated from future attempts by the Democrats to defund those agencies. We operated under a belief that while our country is in the midst of an international armed conflict, Democrats might finally come to their senses and understand that defunding our homeland security agencies is beyond reckless and very dangerous. While we hoped they would accept the 60-day CR to fund the Department entirely so that bipartisan negotiations could continue, it is now abundantly clear that Democrats place allegiance to their radical left-wing base above all else — including their own power of the purse — which means open borders and protecting criminal illegal aliens. That is not acceptable to Republicans in Congress, nor is it to the American people. We cannot allow Democrats to any longer put the safety of the American public at risk through their open border policies, so we are taking that off the table. In following this two-track approach, the Republican Congress will fully reopen the Department, make sure all federal workers are paid, and specifically fund immigration enforcement and border security for the next three years so that those law-enforcement activities can continue uninhibited. In return, Democrats will once again demonstrate to the American people their support for open borders and keeping criminal illegal immigrants in …
NEWS: MAGA Mike caves on DHS funding.
After refusing to bring it to the floor amid pressure from Trump, Mike Johnson just announced, in a joint statement with Majority Leader Thune, he’ll move forward the SAME Senate DHS bill passed unanimously last week that excludes ICE and CBP funding.
The amount of internal sabotage done to the Democratic Party is astounding. Republicans don’t engage in ageism like this.
This is good news! 🟦
Keep replacing Republicans in every election, at every level of government. It all matters.
What is this for, you ask?
Well, you might know about the state supreme court. But you'll see that in my guide I'm also watching:
—2 mayor races
—local judge races where Evers appointees are trying to hold on
—two county boards
—and school boards where book bans have been at issue
Details:
NEW: Last night, Senate Republicans caved to Democrats, passing a bill to end the Republican TSA shutdown WITHOUT funding for ICE.
We have been clear: No blank check for ICE. This bill now heads to the House.
This is a thing which aggravates me.
"why am I not allowed to criticize Dems??"
You are.
You do.
Constantly.
The question is not "are you allowed to criticize Dems?"
The question is "what is the result of constant criticism of Dems??"
(gestures at the world)
I think it’s very important to understand that Republican presidents are fine so long as they, arguably, have a pulse. Democrats—and this is in the Constitution, though no one talks about it—must have qualified for the Boston Marathon sometime in the four years prior to the Electoral College vote.
LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOO
Number of times Senate Democrats have tried to fund TSA: 10
Number of times the Senate GOP has blocked TSA funding: 10
Thank Senate Republicans for the chaos at our airports.
Republicans are in charge of the Senate
Republicans are in charge of the House
Republicans are in charge of the Presidency
Republicans are in charge of the Supreme Court
Republicans are to blame for everything
Thats so weird, I was told the Army's recruiting numbers were totally great now that they made it not woke anymore

D’s when there is a special election in a Trump district:
BREAKING: Democrat Brian Nathan will win the Florida State Senate District 14 special election, flipping the seat from red to blue.
This is a district Donald Trump carried by 7 points in 2024.
It’s also the second Florida seat Democrats have flipped tonight.
Big news just now in the Iowa House HHS Committee: State Rep Austin Harris said House Republicans "have no interest" in codifying Medicaid privatization in Iowa.
Democrat @robsandia.bsky.social has promised to reverse Medicaid privatization (known as the "managed care system") if elected governor.
(And, yes, I know the thick of baseball season will coincide with midterm run-up but at least I might get a couple weeks of peace. 😂)
I don’t even live in Illinois but here in Iowa I get a lot of regional Chicago sports networks so I, too, am very glad their primaries are over. 😂
EXACTLY.
Republicans (and their leftist enablers!!) want you to feel helpless and like nothing is happening to try to mitigate the damage voters have caused.
But it isn’t true!
Keep voting Dem. Keep working to stop Republican fascism. And keep shunning ANYONE who opposes us.
