My problem is that none of these people actually fight Trump. They are either terrified of him or they love him.
They fight Democrats and claim they have to fight them first before fighting Trump, then, when they get the opportunity to fight Trump, they back down. The first thing Mamdani did after vaquishing the liberal elite, whom he claimed were too deferential to Trump, was go to DC and ham it up with him, and we were told he had to do that to prevent ICE from occupying the city or something.
The media is very eager to nationalize the results of three races in a very liberal city among candidates who will represent less than 2% of the Democratic caucus in 2027 as a way of spooking voters to keep Republicans in power. Just FYI
important story from @schuy_ler
“If someone calls about their phone, inform them it is still being held for investigative purposes. Do not send them to the FBI or inform them the phone is with the FBI.”
Chair @harrisonjaime is not talking about voters wanting change--candidates who look and sound like their communities, bolder positions, reforms...all what we stand for. He's talking about people who run as a Dem using party resources only to talk bad about the party at every turn which hurts the entire ticket and hurts rebuilding the party which many of us are in the trenches doing every day.
@ChrisMurphyCT@swain241 This is the wrong conclusion & it’s hard to tell if you’re just dumb or a desperate sellout trying to ride some slopulist wave
Shitbags have figured out voters don’t bother showing up for primaries so they’re targeting our seats & running extremistsa. That’s it. Nothing more
We have a housing crisis in our country. THAT is the real national emergency.
But Trump clearly cares more about interfering in our elections than about ensuring Americans have a safe place to call home.
Donald Trump would rather see Americans on the street than at the ballot box.
He is holding affordable housing hostage in a desperate attempt to silence millions of Americans.
How could any rational person not at least respect her opinion on this?
She was fighting & beating Trump in court before some yall could even vote.
For revenge, Trump directed the DOJ against her on some BS--3 times!
A fearless public servant keeping it 💯 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Mamdani's treatment of Antonio Reynoso is particularly problematic, imho. Reynoso is not only very progressive, he has deep community ties and a pile of receipts. Exactly the kind of portfolio progressives should elevate if they want to actually get things done.
The President of the United States deployed the National Guard… to stop kids from splashing in the reflecting pool.
Not the troops' fault…they follow orders.
But what the fu*k are we doing here?
