"I never would and never will criticize Mao Zedong… one of the great leaders of this world... who changed the entire universe … There was a lot of fucking excess... but China would not exist without Mao."

Mao’s rule resulted in 40M deaths.

Before plagiarizing Shirley Chisholm, Hasan Piker says, “We don’t need those Democrats anymore!” meaning anyone who isn’t a socialist.

He is a dangerous, hateful extremist and anyone campaigning with him should be held accountable by voters.

The white supremacist group, Patriot Front, was seen marching through Capitol Hill this morning.

Rep Lauren Underwood was the first Black person, first woman, and first millennial elected to represent her Illinois district, which she flipped from red to blue, defeating a four-term GOP incumbent. She’s had 14 bills signed into law by both D and R presidents. She’s the future.

Lauren Underwood @laurenunderwood.bsky.social

Yesterday, my NIH IMPROVE Act passed the House unanimously! The next step? Getting it passed in the Senate. When I came to Congress, my goal was simple: end pregnancy-related deaths. This funding gets us one step closer to ending these maternal health disparities.

Rep. Ralph Norman launches bid for Lindsey Graham’s Senate seat

On Saturday, South Carolina Congressman Ralph Norman announced his candidacy for the United States Senate, seeking to become the next senator following the passing of Lindsey Graham.

Looks like this is the Dem Senate candidate in Maine, so let’s all get on board and support the candidate in Maine: www.jacksonformaine.com

Movements are not built on debate stages. They're built in union halls, at kitchen tables, on picket lines, and in conversations with neighbors. They're built by people like you. Together, let's win this damn thing.

Dem lawmakers should have listened… some of the OGs voted out or who won by a small margin have been doing the opposite of this. Dem members of Congress still voting for Trump’s agenda or appointees are voting against the majority of Dem voters wishes and will probably pay the price.

Platner’s Rise and Fall Revives Old Questions About ‘Bernie Bros’ and Women (Gift Article)

The collapse of Graham Platner’s Senate bid in Maine after a rape allegation renewed attention to a movement built by Senator Bernie Sanders that some say is too forgiving of male misconduct.

Conservatives in 2000: Mothers are saints and zygotes are full fledged human beings who deserve voting rights.

GOP candidate Brandon Herrera on moms advocating politically: “Just because you let somebody creampie you doesn’t mean I have to give a shit about your political opinions. The fact that you kept your cum trophy doesn’t make you any less wrong about the dumb shit they you say.”

Bernie Sanders and Abdul El-Sayed endorsed William Lawrence for a congressional seat in Michigan. Lawrence said Black political leaders are a “pillar” of the “capitalist, imperialist” establishment, and that by backing Dem leadership they “defang the white left.” www.huffpost.com/entry/surgin...

Also, gotta love that Ro spreads the blame to a woman Senator and a women’s reproductive rights group but not, you know, Bernie Sanders.

Ro Khanna is the ONLY Platner endorser in Congress to publicly express regret over his decision. And all he said was, “ I wasn’t the only one. You had Planned Parenthood. You had Senator Warren. You had the entire Democratic Party. But I did get that call wrong.” www.notus.org/congress/thi...

ICE agents must immediately suspend most vehicle stops during enforcement operations nationwide, except in cases involving serious criminal targets. The change is temporary while ICE provides additional training on vehicle-stop tactics.

Neither of the victims of the ICE shootings in Maine or Texas were the target of enforcement operations, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

Oh and he also called Kamala Harris a “warmonger.” www.detroitnews.com/story/news/p...

Dem House hopeful called Kamala Harris, Elissa Slotkin 'warmongers'

In a series of past statements, Democratic U.S. House candidate William Lawrence has sharply criticized top members of his party.

Hasan Piker claims that in a "just world," Kamala Harris would “turn herself into The Hague” and serve prison time.

His Dem primary opponent is @mattmaasdam.bsky.social, a Navy SEAL endorsed by union locals.

This race will have significant down ballot consequences. All 99 seats in the assembly are up for election. To win control, Dems only need to gain 5 seats. Seventeen of 33 Senate seats are on the ballot. Dems only need 2 seats for control. Instead, we may be looking at a Republican trifecta.
