House Democrats want a government that’s an instrument for the public good, not an instrument of self-enrichment for the president and his rich friends. Americans are sick of the coin-operated, pay-to-play corruption emanating from Trump's White House.

Showing me polls that are a statistical tie, does not encourage me, in fact it makes me discouraged and wondering if voting id even worth it. I voted but I fail to see the benefit of horserace polling.

If the polls are showing Dem candidates with only 1 point or 2 point leads over really bad Republican candidates, then we are in trouble and Trumps support is still strong. WTF they should all have commanding leads...although we know pollsters love to play the horserace game.

The challenges we face must be met by a bold progressive populist movement that strengthens democracy and shakes up the system. We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump. We cannot allow Big Money to dominate our politics and economy. And we cannot capitulate to the oligarchy.

Booker eviscerates Patel: "He's like an 18 year old kid who wants to join a fraternity that he could never be a member of, doing keg stands and chugging with friends. He's an embarrassment. He is a disgrace. This is a mockery and a sham. What's bad are the people enabling him."

In the midst of an awful lot of ever-so-sophisticated equivocating and oh-so-thoughtful-chin-stroking and too-clever-by-half-over-thinking, I just want to say, simply and unequivocally and for the record: The Resistance Libs Were Right.

WELKER: Do you think democratic socialists have a place in the Democratic Party? VAN HOLLEN: Yes they do as part of the debate. I think that those in the Dem Party who are afraid of a healthy debate are missing the point, because Democratic voters do not want a return to the pre-Trump status quo

The only meeting Hakeem Jeffries should be having with Jared Kushner is to tell him he’ll be subpoenaed by the House for a corruption investigation on day one of Democratic control of the House. This is just pathetic stuff from the House Dem leader. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/23/u...

With everyone obsessing over a handful of DSA candidates, the broader trend that might be getting missed across the country is that lots of Dem primary voters seem to have decided it is time for a new generation of younger nominees in lots of places.

AOC: Millennials are not punk kids anymore. We're grown adults with mortgages and kids, and that generation is starting to be decisive at the polls. And there is anger at being ignored, having our economic futures mortgaged by the generations that came before us and we're taking the reins

During Trump's 2024 hush money trial, the defense introduced text messages between Haberman and Michael Cohen to suggest that Cohen was using Haberman to leak information and manipulate the media.

David Axelrod and James Carville are as relevant as two stale cigarette butts in an ashtray. You don't see them on Bluesky because they would have to answer for their opinions.

Stand by, we are about to enter the media concocted "horserace" phase of the midterm elections. Where suddenly every candidate is neck and neck....it's part of their game to create this anxiety.

Watching the media describe Lindsey Graham as some great Reaganite foreign policy genius is sickening. Graham elected to serve the people abandoned them. He could care less about Americans at home.

Once again Meidastouch says Trump is in panic, all hell has broken loose, Trumps health has collapsed..again...How many times since he took office now ? How is this model informative news ?

I just can't stomach Alex Witt and her, " But will this" questions. She is like a robotic mannequin that plays the same both sides record daily.

The never Trump right is hoping that at least the senate stays Republican because they think they can revive their party after Trump. They will throw all kinds of dirt at progressive candidates. Don't fall for it.

MSM, centrist Democrats and of coarse the subversive Republican never Trumpers along with Susan Collins campaign are trying to destroy progressive candidate Graham Platner. Don't fall for the "Swiftboating" tactic they are using.

Tonight the U.S. military conducted a " training" exercise in a residential area at an abandoned hospital in Pasadena which included helicopters and explosions.Simultaneously LAPD SWAT conducted a training exercise at a park in the city of Arcadia next to Pasadena ????

The closer we get to elections media stories and reporting of Democratic successes dwindle and fade away...ever wonder why or who causes this ?

You lousy fucking lawyers, politicians and hacks on the Democratic side, failed America. Trump should have never been President, he should have been in jail. But you are all weak and allowed him to get away with hurting our country. Now you expect me to vote for you ? Give me a reason.

I follow Tom Nichols, I find him a reasonable man with common sense. Great insight into military issues. But I can't stand seeing so many trying to argue everything under the Sun with him.He predicted the fear porn over fascism was overboard and was correct but the constant arguing is tiresome.

"Do you regret your heated rhetoric?" "No. Do you regret your chilled rhetoric? Do you regret sitting on the sidelines as norms fell away and so many laws were broken? Do you regret pretending like this was all normal and you alone were savvy enough to see that Both Sides Are To Blame?"

There are many ways to interfere in an election. When money is involved no one is above the fray. All attacks on candidates need to be examined thoroughly. Stay vigilant.

I have read the San Francisco Chronicle’s account and I am deeply distressed by its allegations. This woman was brave to come forward, and we should take her story seriously. I am withdrawing my endorsement immediately, and believe that he should withdraw from the race.

You gotta love MSNOW's Chris Jansing leading the news of Pam Bondi's firing with, " Democrats are really afraid" with replacement Todd Blanche, what a crock, Blanche lost Trumps NY trial. He is a loser.

We are really taking off into bizzaro territory. Trump buying everyone shoes and them wearing them despite the size . Bondi sleeping on a military base. Patel after firing all his Iran and counter terrorism experts says Iran wants to attack California...

I'd like to point out, that Democracy hasn't died. All the doomsayers with the, " we're fucked" posts were hyperventilating. Democracy is being rattled but holding. The courts and the law have been the glue. Trump is failing big...the price, a lesson in the importance of civic duty.

“There are some folks who are doomscrolling in the fetal position ... It’s easy, I know, to fear that maybe we could lose our republic. I think what John Lewis would tell us is: it’s up to us. We have the power to right the ship. Nobody is gonna do it for us.” - @ossoff.bsky.social Read This:
