I’m not a big fan of social media, but a lot of new projects on the horizon so just trying to grow some semblance of an audience.

Medicare for All would save $1 trillion & 114,000 lives each & every year, per Yale.

“Majority Democrats” is funded by billionaire hedge fund manager Steve Mandel, Michael Bloomberg & Rupert Murdoch’s son.

They should change their name to Billionaires for the Status Quo.

Scott Colom: “There's so many people that have faith in Mississippi at times where it seemed impossible. People like Medgar Evers ... He had faith that a day like this was possible”

[Fisher D Edwards @FDEdwards90]

Especially when the national attention makes people aware of doing everything he can to support the Paramount merger (which just killed DC’s starting comeback) and block a billionaire tax.

[Exhibit C @exxhibit_c]

I’ve seen enough to see that Gavin Newsom will not be the nominee in 2028. His best chance was in 2024 and I don’t see a majority of Democratic voters picking him over AOC, Harris, or Ossoff in the primaries.

This piece is for men. Every time I write a piece about how men systemically abuse women, my DMs explode with “Not All Men” complaints. But now, a new study demonstrates that empirically, statistically, & factually, it literally is all men. The data is horrifying.

“The first black senator since the Reconstruction era 140+ years ago” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

this country man but I’m so happy

[Fisher D Edwards @FDEdwards90]

This is a day where America takes another step living up to the standard that the people that came before us fought so hard for. We’ve been falling far too short for far too long.

[Wesley @WesleyLowery]

Scott Colom becomes the third Black man to serve as a senator from Mississippi.

The first was AME minister Hiram R. Revels, who in 1870 became the first Black American to serve in Congress.

The second was Blanche Bruce, a former slave, elected to replace Revels in 1874.

@isaiahrmartin And fuck anyone who’s mad bout it

[Fisher D Edwards @FDEdwards90]

It’s performative to expect the people we vote for to do their jobs? You’re probably right. Republicans are still in power and would have saved him. MAKE THEM! Make Republicans take unpopular votes. Force them to go on the record defending this defsec after the midterm results

[Digital Ground Game @DigitalGroundG]

There’s no world in which Hegseth gets removed as a result of yesterday’s vote btw. This is all performative.

Used authority to help white people and hurt Black people

They will never face a single consequence for this. They’ll leave office and get consulting gigs that pay more than I’ve made as a teacher for 10 years in a year.

[Eric Hovagim @EricHovagim]

this is the pathetic legacy of:

Nancy Pelosi (CA-11)
Haley Stevens (MI-11)
Julia Brownley (CA-26)
Lou Correa (CA-46)
Laura Gillen (NY-4)
Steven Horsford (NV-4)
Jonathan Jackson (IL-1)
Brittany Pettersen (CO-7)
Melanie Stansbury (NM-1)
Marilyn Strickland (WA-10)
Frederica Wilson (FL-24)

[Isaiah Martin @isaiahrmartin]

Hegseth should’ve been impeached tonight. He’s a war criminal. In addition, the Republican Party is also guilty of war crimes against Americans. There is a massive healthcare nuclear bomb going off January 1st because of the health care cuts in the big rip-off bill. Premiums will go way up. Single-issue bills must be sent to Trump every day to force them to answer why they’re making healthcare more expensive. Make it so bad they *have to* reinstate the funding. We need double accountability.

[Fisher D Edwards @FDEdwards90]

@David_Mauricioo Maybe you should ask the 11 house democrats who prevented that from happening tonight.

[Fisher D Edwards @FDEdwards90]

No. We voted Democrat to hold people accountable. Not only are they openly abdicating their duties, they’re not capitalizing on the energy of this moment.

[David_Mauricio @David_Mauricioo]

They should've shown up, no disagreement there, but shouldn't the onus fall on the majority party that decided to launch this motion to refer in the first place?

[Fisher D Edwards @FDEdwards90]

I 100% agree in not drawing the conclusion that everyone wants Hasan’s worldview. But people clearly want change. Yes, we rejected MAGA, but the polls show democrats are not popular. We need change. ‘24 showed us that this version of the Democratic Party will lose to MAGA again

[WhickTV - Bane of Christian Nationalists @WhickTv]

Hmmm I wonder which candidates had the best performance when it comes to young people?

Look at who had the biggest swings from red to blue:

Adam Hamilton had the biggest swing.
James Talarico came in second.
Roy cooper third.

Just keep that in mind. @neeratanden seems to have her finger on the pulse more than this hack.

[Fisher D Edwards @FDEdwards90]

The blasphemy of going after the anime pope. Ain’t nothin sacred

[Geoff Thew @G0ffThew]

If you gotta dig up 6+ year old takes of mine just to take a swing I think I’m doing pretty good IDK

[Dr. Allison Wiltz @queenie4rmnola]

"To be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a state of rage almost, almost all of the time — and in one's work. And part of the rage is this. It isn't only what is happening to you. But it's what's happening all around you and all of the time in the face of the most extraordinary and criminal indifference, indifference of most white people in this country, and their ignorance." --James Baldwin

[Fisher D Edwards @FDEdwards90]

@WonderKing82 They could make it part of a spending/budget bill which would only require a simple majority. We don’t need to work with the people who actively want to take healthcare from us on healthcare.

[Fisher D Edwards @FDEdwards90]

It is insane how little the people in power seem to care about the will of the people they govern.

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

Democrats not showing up for the Hegseth impeachment vote is a giant warning sign. Forget Republicans - did Democrats and their leaders watch the election results last week?

[Acyn @Acyn]

Kamlager-Dove on Hegseth Impeachment: We knew that this vote was coming, so people should have gotten their raggedy selves up these steps to vote. There is no reason why we should have lost this vote because of attendance issues.

You know this man should not be in this position. That’s why he got up at 8 o’clock in the morning with his sorry self to plead to the American people.

So shame on folks who are not here. Because these people lost. They lost, and they still found a way to show up to table this bill. Shameful.
