119th congress: must be at least 75 to chair a committee!

I'll admit. I thought the Cheney gambit might work. But, the fact is the Maga folks hate old school Republicans more than Democrats. And all young white men and Hispanic people cared about was voting against Biden cause he didn't do exactly what they wanted.

Coming soon from WaPo: An op-ed by Schumer and Jeffries on how bothersome civil liberties are and why you're better off without them.

"Now isn't the time to shift further left. Have you seen the results in all of the recent elections? Surely, we need to appeal to the centrists and anti-Trump republicans. That's where democrats can find their most vital voters" - Democratic leadership, likely

I thought this was a direct quote from Jeffries! Well done!

Schumer sure...Jeffries will tell us how AI is going to save Democracy.

God, me too. So depressing.

BTW that is exactly what Crockett's primary challenger in TX is saying. That primary may wind up being the battle for the soul of the Democratic party. And I think it may be repeated in a lot of other places.

I hate Hippies, but it has never been said better:

Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
And don't criticize what you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
For the times, they are a-changin'

Is Jeffries in on that grift? Huh. I had no idea.

Jeffries is bought and sold by AIPAC, Big Tech and others. The only reason AOC and Mamdani are backing him (for now) is pragmatism. If they back a challenger and lose they lose the initiative of the battle to come. They can't risk burning their political clout trying to take down the possible next Speaker. That is why they are focusing on getting more Progressives and DSA members in position. Lander taking out Golden will be an important step.

I like Crockett but I think she is making a huge mistake entering that race. Assuming she wins the primary I dont trust Texas to elect a Democrat least alone a Black Woman to the Senate. I truly hope I am wrong though.

Fact is no one in the House gets anything done anyway. The Dems have to start stealing some Senate seats. Texas should be in the mix for that but their State keeps passing laws that are Unconstitutional and our Unconstitutional Supreme Court just lets it pass.

I missed when Buttegieg endorsed angie craig for senate a few days ago.
