Ah yes. Everyone knows that WW2 famously ended not by the fall of Berlin or by the 2 nukes we dropped on Japan, but by everyone getting together and hashing out a deal.

The only park in DC that would even be someonwhat suitable for a golf course would be the National Mall. Just imagine the backlash from those on both sides if he tried to do that.
Jeffries continues to demonstrate that he has absolutely no idea what's going on
Dang. He was not as good as I remembered.
And this is why people hate Democrats
It's not even that the GOP currently has everything, it's explicitly a response to the GOP trying rig things so that they don't lose their trifecta. If Texas hadn't tried to rig their maps in the middle of the decade Dems wouldn't have needed to respond like they are.
This is such a bad take. The article essentially says that Dems should roll over and let the GOP rig things because what the GOP is doing is bad and Dems shouldn't do bad things.
Trump supporters have no idea how capitalism works. If all your foreign competitors are required to increase their prices by X%, why wouldn't American businesses increase their prices by X-1 or just increase them by the same amount as their competitors?
He says that companies are moving away from NYC because of high taxes then immediately says that NYC is thriving.
So will just not have a US attorney now?
He also played OF and would've made a decent backup/platoon player.
Never understood why we didn't resign him
SCOTUS reform should be a top issue in the Dem primary
He's also so narcissistic that instead of moving out of the way after handing over the trophy so that the players can celebrate their win, like what he was told to do, he decided to just stand there with the players until finally being pushed out the back.
FIFA needs to stop having world leaders be the ones that hand over trophies
Trump just ruined the Chelsea celebration
He's definitely in those files
This guy won by only 2.7 points
Will be a big test for Dems' communication abilities
Sounds like a Never-Trump-Republican trying to lecture the Democrats into being more like the GOP from 30 years ago.
This some weak shit
The judiciary is utterly broken.
We should absolutely not support Israel here. This is a war of aggression by them and it should be none of our business.
Dems would rather be in the minority for an eternity than let progressives win them elections.
It scares me just how many people don't realize that this is AI
AI is not helping
Listen, I don't like Earle-Sears and I'll be voting for her opponent Spanberger in the fall, but that's not the point she's making here.
Isn't it weird how when public figures start getting public backlash they almost always start moving to the right?
Where's DOGE at? How can we afford the $1 billion+ it'll take to actually make it into Air Force One when we've already purchased planes from Boeing?
In the past they said she wasn't a real doctor because she wasn't an MD, so they definitely know. Which makes the post even worse.
I think that's the point. He most likely knows this and just like in the past, he's trying to diminish her title because she isn't an MD.
Newsom is speed running the destruction of any presidential ambitions he might've had.
"It's not corruption if I do it out in the open!"
Weird how for 4 years Biden was somehow unable to replace DeJoy, now within just a couple months, Trump is able to replace his own pick.
That's some BS
I don't think he's that clever. He's just senile.
Such a dull game
Crews needs to make up for that mental fielding error
Memos don't supercede the Constitution
Newsom is doing an excellent job of tanking his 2028 primary odds
People will try to say she's "unelectable" and won't be able to appeal to moderates across the aisle, as if gay man, black man, Jew, gov of Cali, or a black woman would fair any better.
The amount of "Dems" I've seen dragging Bernie on this app lately is a bit concerning.
Have you ever seen a physical newspaper before?
How very America First of them
If you consistently propose popular policies that benefit the working class and they never get passed and the main criticism is about how they're "socialist," then that just shows that the other politicians who refuse to pass them don't actually care about the working class.
I think this says more about every other politician than it does about Bernie
Immigrants will still come to the US, but now if they work it will be under the table. Reducing tax revenue for the government and increasing the likelihood that employers will abuse them even more.
That's nice and all, but still not enough. Need at least 20 GOP senators and 77 GOP House members.
It is now a prerequisite to support SCOTUS reform for any Dem presidential candidate. Dems should not give the time of day to any candidate who isn't in favor of using the power of the presidency to reign in this rogue court.
Booker definitely should not be on the ticket
That sucks
If a candidate wants to win the Dem primary, they should make it a point to not repeat the mistakes of the Obama and Biden administrations and commit to prosecuting officials from this current administration.
I thought it was disrespectful to not wear a suit to the Oval Office
Why are you still minority leader?
When some of the richest owners in baseball give you a budget of just $50m to find a new DH, 1st baseman, 3rd baseman, starters, and relievers, you probably won't end up with the best in any of those spots.
So you're saying it would be good for a reporter to go to prison just so the people responsible for the leak feel a little bit more embarrassed?
That's not how that works. Just because they say something is declassified doesn't actually mean it is. Like how Trump tried to say all the docs in his bathroom were declassified when they weren't.
Bad take. The administration is obviously lying that there was no classified material. So if he releases the texts, they will almost certainly go after him for releasing classified material to the public.
Just because they say it isn't classified doesn't actually mean they aren't classified. Like how Trump tried to argue that he declassified the documents in his bathroom just by saying so, didn't actually affect their classification.
Schumer is trying to gaslight us. It was never about choosing the lesser of two evils and reducing the amount of harm Musk/Trump could cause to the country. He got a call from Wall Street telling him to keep the government open and like a good little dog he did just that.

Now force Schumer out of leadership
Those 38 must now move to have Schumer resign as minority leader.
Simply voting No on the CR is no longer good enough. Dems now need to vote for new leadership.
This has been a disasterclass political messaging. Instead of everyone being focused on how bad the Republicans are for causing a shutdown, Schumer has now shifted the focus to how disconnected the Democratic Party leadership is from the rank and file members.
Any Democrat who thinks that persuading Trump supporters is an effective campaign strategy should be nowhere near electoral politics.
In other words, the backlash will only be limited to the people that put us in office. If they detest their supporters this much, then why not just switch parties already?
Sure Newsom is gearing up to run for president, but having Steve Bannon on your podcast to spew lies with no pushback seems like a terrible strategy to win a Democratic primary.
The real question is who was able to convince him to go from 'Dems WILL NOT help Republicans' to 'Dems MUST help Republicans' in the span of just 24 hours?
Progressives need to start really pushing for ranked choice voting nationwide. We desperately need a progressive third party in this country.
Senate Dems need to show that they are determined to stand up for the people. That not only includes voting no on the GOP budget, but now, also voting to replace Schumer as minority leader.
Is he really that fucking stupid? Or is he just working for the other side?
Democrats: All-time low approval numbers. Schumer: Voting with Republicans and betraying our base will surely help with that.
Schumer shouldn't be considered a Democrat. Democrats need to put him as their leader.
President? No. Press secretary? Yes.
Senate Dems should expect primary challenges if they vote to pass the CR
Unfortunately for the country, I think he realizes that he's dug too deep of a hole and doesn't stand a chance. And like Sinema, he'll spend his remaining years in the Senate trying to maximize his payout outside of government.
I hope Schumer is aware of just how bad it will be for Dems if they help pass this bill, but unfortunately I doubt he does.
Fetterman is solidifying his place as the Democrat's rotating villain.
So, like, is he not gonna run for president anymore?
I don't think I've ever seen someone lose a primary so fast
Can we stop lionizing bad, unpopular people for simply being anti-Trump? This is how the Democrats get pushed further and further to the right.
This didn't need to be ai
So is Moskowitz just another grifter? His vote today showed that he is more concerned with decorum than actually standing up to fascism.
He'll fire all these people, the VA will get worse, Republicans will point to it's poor performance as a reason to privatize it.
So all those news cycles about how Biden wasn't mentally fit only for the country to elect a senile old man who is not mentally fit for office
Is he injured or something? Because there's no way they think that Darren Baker is more deserving of a 40-man spot than a guy who had an .801 OPS in his last full MLB season.
All but one House Republican just voted to cut Medicaid.
The irony of him saying we need to invest more in healthcare while his party is actively trying to gut Medicare and Medicaid.
In all fairness to Jefferies, that's a bad question. Jefferies is right in that the GOP controls Congress and it's their responsibility to prevent a shutdown. But the way Tapper framed the question, he made it seem like it's the Dem's responsibility to vote with the GOP to prevent a shutdown.
No. Liberals failing to address the needs of the working class did.
This is the guy that said school children should get jobs to pay for their school lunches fyi.
It's amazing how fast they dropped the whole "party of accountability/law and order" facade.
The NRA defended the continued slaughter of children because of the supposed need to protect against a tyrannical gov't. Now Trump is outwardly calling himself a tyrant and the NRA are on his side.
Dems desperately need new leadership in both the House and Senate.
Why is it that Dem leadership isn't able to do even half of what she just did?
The leadership in the Senate is virtually unchanged in the past decade. Schumer has gotten by his whole career without needing to be loud and now that we're at a point where the leadership needs to energize the electorate against the GOP, he has no idea how to do it because he's never had to.
They should at the very leats refer to it like how every news outlet referred to Twitter after its name change. "The Gulf of America (formerly known as the Gulf of Mexico."
Dems need a new leader in the House. One who is actually serious about fighting against Trump and the Republicans. Not someone who wines and dines with tech oligarchs.
Schumer and Pelosi could learn a thing or two from her
