If congressional Dems had heeded this advice after Richard Nixon got elected, there would be no EPA, no Clean Water Act, none of the original campaign finance laws, no War Powers Resolution, and no expansion of Medicare - all of which Dems enacted while Nixon was president.
Neera Tanden at The National Press Club:
The next two years should not be an opportunity for every group in DC to dust off their wish list for the last decade.
It's not a time to pressure Congress to fruitlessly spend time, political capital on ideas that we couldn't get done in a Democratic trifecta just a few years ago.

- "What will you do with (Palestinians who refuse to leave Gaza)?"
- "I'll kill them. I'll kill them. There isn't any other option. The child who will be born in Gaza tomorrow... will do an October 7 against your child"
Old-new MK Moshe Feiglin, Smotrich's No. 2, spews his usual exterminationist bile in an interview with former POW Rom Braslavski, who recently asked Ben Gvir to allow him to personally execute a Palestinian hostage.

The centrist mandate: Dissipate voters’ energy and urgency, ensure progress be near-invisible, and help fascists regroup. Every single time.

that identity politics shit isn't gonna work. we just went through 3 years of folks being called "anti-Semitic" for opposing a genocide. this idea that people don't want him to be speaker coz he's Black is bunk. he's a centrist, owned by Israel & oligarchs. fuck him.

All of the men in this photo have either been found guilty of rape, or liable for sexual assault. Every single one of them.

Jennifer Welch: “Hakeem takes AIPAC money. I think we deserve politicians right now in this moment when we have a convicted felon in the middle of a pedophile ring that is ripping everybody off, taking taxpayer money, rewarding all of these bullshit contracts to all of these evil oligarchs. We need a Speaker of the House and a Senate Majority Leader that aren’t compromised. Who can look in the camera and say I’m not compromised, I’m fighting for America, for democracy, and for Americans”

It's wild how much of American politics in the past 10 - 15 years have boiled down to "we need to let this septuagenarian have their moment to shine even though they've been bad at their job for 50 years"
Let’s break this down logically.
Schumer knows these are his last two years in office. If you know anything about him, you’d know that he would want to end his career on his own terms and go out on top.
He knows that if he ran again, he would lose renomination. Which is why I — and essentially everyone that works in Democratic politics in New York across the ideological spectrum — would be absolutely stunned if he runs for re-election.
So why would someone launching a primary campaign against him before January change his plans to run for majority leader?
He likely views these last two years as majority leader as his swan song.

I’m pretty sick of this shit. A Jewish person could become president in 2028. The question is, is a diehard Zionist going to become the Dem nominee? Not likely. Shapiro and Ossof are stuck in the era where empty Lib Zionist pablum had purchase. That era is over on the left.

🚨 NEW | Jon Stewart on The Weekly Show, shutting down Schumer’s defenders:
“Chuck Schumer fought tooth and nail against half of these f*cking people…He does not understand the urgency of the moment and what the future demands.”

NEW: House Dems "inundated" w/ calls & emails urging them not to elect Jeffries speaker
One member told @axios they got "300-400" calls in 2 days
Another said "over 500"
A third said "higher" than 500: "It's our No. 1 issue, and it's not close." axios.com/2026/11/06/jeffrie…

I am a scholar in the failed post civil war reconstruction, and I did my masters thesis on the damage that failure and unaccountable conservatives have done to this country for the last 150yrs to this day, and we are on a precipice here again. America must stop allowing capitalism to preclude democracy, and hold the robber barons, racists, murderers, and corrupt politicians accountable, or this “revolutionary” election doesn’t mean shit.

Jon Ossoff is anti Abolishing ice. Anti ending the filibuster. Anti packing the Supreme Court. Anti healthcare for all. The only thing he IS pro is pro Israel (and he’s said many times that his support for Israel is ironclad). There are so many hot progressives you could choose!!
imagine seeing this & thinking voters want democrats to find common ground with the unprecedented corruption & fascism of the right. we want accountability & bold action protecting our democracy from any of it ever happening again.
