It seems like too many Democrats need to strengthen their backbones! They also need to remind themselves that they're in office to serve their constituents, not play nice with the opposing partly.
We can vote them out too, but I hate to do that when we need more blue. But if you Dems don't do your job, you're not going to stay and you can rest assured that we will highlight your failures
If Democrats really want to stop this authoritarian regime they have to fight fire with fire. Put it to a vote like Governor Newsom did. Let the people decide. Keep calling, signing petitions and protesting. We are in a fight for our very LIVES and our democratic Constitutional Republic. Project 2025 has NO PLACE here and that’s the guideline trump is following for domination.
You don't seem to understand that.No matter how much the democrats fight at this point they'll never win.Because republicans have the house and senate.Until democrats take the house and senate, we are screwed. So I have suggest you vote blue.All the way down the line in midterms
That was his evil plan that he wanted to implement the first time he was in office. He had 4 years to perfect it. But I’m hoping and praying that it all backfires on his fat smelly ass. He keeps pushing, bullying and stealing from the American people. History has proven that people can only be abused for so long until they rebel. I live in Texas so I REALLY WANT THIS STATE TO TURN BLUE.
Because republicans control the house and senate, that's why they 're not holding trump accountable like they should be hence.Why?It's important to vote blue in the midterms, so we can put democrats back in control of the house and senate.And take back our country. By holding trump in his regime accountable.
Democratic leaders need to leave the manners at home and get their ass in gear and prepare for the midterms in a more robust UNITED fashion or we will lose it all. Fight for us or step aside and let someone else take the lead!!!!
I don't know where you've been.But that's exactly what they've been doing. I at the rate donald trump's going right now by what he's doing in minneapolis. He's already killed the votes from any decent republicans left for himself.
What donald trump has done in minneapolis it sparked a fire under Democrats' butts, and he knows it. That's why he's trying to stop the midterms from happening.
But that actually backfired at him, cause it gave democrats.Even more of a push to get out there and vote.
Now you see how trump started with a smaller blue state like minneapolis instead of a big state like new york city or california, he's already been pushed on a cali he aint gonna fuck with cali
What's with the constant criticism? I have seen nothing but Democratic leaders standing up to Trump, but they're also in a position of weakness, not because of anything but voters, because they tend to blame them for every MFT. Stand up and support them as Trump's people do and give wthe power with your votes for both houses and see it get done!
OMG. Here we go again. The Democratic Senate thinks it won't look good; it's too close to the election. That's interpreted as: their corporate donors don't want them to do it. Grow a spine. O'Connell refused to "let" the Dems appoint a Supreme Court Justice because it was a (full) year before the election. How did that work out for ya!!!!!
You nailed it. And I'm damned angry. They're a bunch of wusses. Weak weak weak. I'm giving a lot of thought about even voting. I think I'm voting for one thing but it turns out I've voted for weakness and capitulation. They're almost as big a joke as the ass in the w.h.
Your comment reminds me of Betty Slocombe in "Are You Being Served." When the men were being cowards, she would exclaim, "Weak as water, I say! Weak as water!"
You can't not vote! Driving a car with an underpowered engine and a janky transmission is still safer than driving one with no brakes.
MAGAs love spewing their garbage, how about the deranged one we have in charge right now, pay attention to him because he is distroying this country's reputation. He's right up there with Moduro!
James, it's unconscionable that our elections and government are driven by patronage rather than principle, reduced to a performative battle of the bucks. A pox on the SCOTUS benchwarmers and their houses! But that's the American way, and the topic for a different conversation.
While it's true that to play the modern American electoral game, a candidate must raise vast amounts of cash to flood the electoral consciousness with bullshit, I honestly don't think that's THE priority with Democrats. I believe they are still laboring under the misguided impression that we should all "be civil." That would be nice.
But Republicans, an amoral minority desperate to retain power and control, have changed the rules of the game. In addition to overwhelming the electoral process with spending, they employ lying, cheating and stealing as routine methods of operation because "winning" is all that matters, even if the wins are illegitimate.
Democrats are too worried about mussing up their pretty choir robes to get down in the dirt and beat the bullies.
I thought it was so ludicrous that Obama thought that he was going to work with McConnell and the Republicans when he was first elected for the good of the country . Republicans don't play that.
This time they had better fight just as hard when they get back in control. They should not just be satisfied to return to the old status quo. Crimes need to be prosecuted, lies need to be exposed, and they need to rebuild our reputation on the world stage.
They are bowing to their corporate overlords. If you look at who funds Jeffries, it’s almost as bad as Cruz. A little less AIPAC and a lot more BlackRock. He needs to not be the speaker when the Democrats take back the House.
Brian, I deeply value the hard work you and your team are putting in informing us of these important developments. "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." -- Helen Keller .
We already ALL KNOW that THIS particular group of Republicans are more concerned with keeping Trump happy and themselves wealthy, so they don’t get primaried or called out by the orange man. They are ONLY concerned with making sure their billionaire donors are happy and that ICE has all the taxpayer funding they need to get rid of as many people of color, who tend to vote democratic. Gerrymandering NEEDS to be abolished as does Citizens’ United and Project 2025. It’s always ONLY about the $$$.
Because if you could pay attention for more than 5 minutes, you would know they didn't vote for ICE, they voted only to avoid a government shutdown, so we don't have a repeat of the last shutdown as Trump will only repeat his vengence on innocent people to force Democrats to fold. The only way we will get change is in 2026, and I suspect it will be a landslide for Democrats, and then you can watch and see Democrats fix another mess you brought this country! In the meantime, Trump is just amassing more debt to play war games!
No, Darlene. 7 Democrats voted to give icetapo more money. This had nothing to do with a government shutdown.
"Just seven Democrats voted for the Homeland Security spending bill that included billions for Immigration and Customs Enforcement: Reps. Henry Cuellar and Vicente Gonzalez of Texas, Jared Golden of Maine, Laura Gillen and Tom Suozzi of New York, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington and Don Davis of North Carolina. All represent tough terrain — Trump carried all of their districts but Gillen’s, which he lost by just over one point."
Along w all the republicans! 7 Dems must be shamed but don’t let those traitorous republicans off the hook. They could end this at any moment and they choose to allow the American people to be brutalized and murdered
Democrats have to stop being so timid and get busy and get to work......
Knock it off!
Time to Man UP Democrats put on your full armor because it's going to be a fight!!! I'm voting Blue 💙 all the way!!
It seems like too many Democrats need to strengthen their backbones! They also need to remind themselves that they're in office to serve their constituents, not play nice with the opposing partly.
Their busting their but, do you even pay attention to what they do? Did you watch them interview James Smith yesterday? They nailed it!
They're.... Agree, they were awesome as was Jack Smith!!
We can vote them out too, but I hate to do that when we need more blue. But if you Dems don't do your job, you're not going to stay and you can rest assured that we will highlight your failures
Maryland Strong 💙

I still don’t understand how so many laws are getting blatantly broken in public by this administration and nothing is being done!
Who is going to do something? Certainly not the DOJ or FBI or SCOTUS. Trump owns them all!

It’s pretty simple: It’s Kremlin bots trying desperately to help Trump. By discouraging Midterm turnout.
Have the Dems learned nothing from Mitch McConnell???
Nope .
OMG. Here we go again. The Democratic Senate thinks it won't look good; it's too close to the election. That's interpreted as: their corporate donors don't want them to do it. Grow a spine. O'Connell refused to "let" the Dems appoint a Supreme Court Justice because it was a (full) year before the election. How did that work out for ya!!!!!
Your Democrats at work (as usual) ... snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
Why fight when you can sit on the sidelines and wring your hands anxiously? You could break your pearls in a fight ... and then what will you clutch?
You nailed it. And I'm damned angry. They're a bunch of wusses. Weak weak weak. I'm giving a lot of thought about even voting. I think I'm voting for one thing but it turns out I've voted for weakness and capitulation. They're almost as big a joke as the ass in the w.h.

Threatening not to vote is not an answer. We've all got to vote to make it count. I'll take a dishwater Democrat against a filthy lying Republican
No hesitancy on my part
Nor mine.
That's funny
It fits perfectly.
That's funny. Fits perfectly
MAGAs love spewing their garbage, how about the deranged one we have in charge right now, pay attention to him because he is distroying this country's reputation. He's right up there with Moduro!
Similar economic policies.
Certainly wouldn't want to jeopardize all that corporate lobbyist cash. 🤑

Totally agree. The rules seem to have changed and the Dems need to get serious!
They are bowing to their corporate overlords. If you look at who funds Jeffries, it’s almost as bad as Cruz. A little less AIPAC and a lot more BlackRock. He needs to not be the speaker when the Democrats take back the House.

Time to stop being Mr/Ms Nice Guy. That ‘s not the game the REPUGS are playing. If you’re going to wrestle with pigs, you will get dirty!💥
I used to be such a sweet sweet thing til they got a hold of me......
Why are the dems supporting ICE? THATS JUST INSANE.
7 Reps Voted to fund ICE. Stop Lying.
Should have been zero.
Lying? There is no lying. Those 7 reps were what they needed. Follow the money. 💰
They're not representing the people who voted for them. Foh.
That's true we vote them into office, the lobbyists buy them off and that's who they represent. Us voters we don't count.
In Cuellar’s case it was Trump who bought him off. Cuellar was recently convicted of fraud and then, more recently, pardoned by tRump.
Jeez there's such a blizzard of stuff going on that I'd forgotten that the orange thing pardoned Cuellar.
That’s by design.
While you weren’t looking Democrats voted to INCREASE ICE FUNDING. Why not report that BRIAN?
We already ALL KNOW that THIS particular group of Republicans are more concerned with keeping Trump happy and themselves wealthy, so they don’t get primaried or called out by the orange man. They are ONLY concerned with making sure their billionaire donors are happy and that ICE has all the taxpayer funding they need to get rid of as many people of color, who tend to vote democratic. Gerrymandering NEEDS to be abolished as does Citizens’ United and Project 2025. It’s always ONLY about the $$$.
The 7 DEMOCRATS
Just a note, the people that immigration "should" be deporting are non-citizens who are not eligible to vote.
Huh?
Because if you could pay attention for more than 5 minutes, you would know they didn't vote for ICE, they voted only to avoid a government shutdown, so we don't have a repeat of the last shutdown as Trump will only repeat his vengence on innocent people to force Democrats to fold. The only way we will get change is in 2026, and I suspect it will be a landslide for Democrats, and then you can watch and see Democrats fix another mess you brought this country! In the meantime, Trump is just amassing more debt to play war games!
No, actually he's making himself rich and hiding the money in offshore accounts
No, Darlene. 7 Democrats voted to give icetapo more money. This had nothing to do with a government shutdown.
"Just seven Democrats voted for the Homeland Security spending bill that included billions for Immigration and Customs Enforcement: Reps.

House Dems rally against ICE funding just one year after dozens broke ranks on immigration - POLITICO https://share.google/mbnK3gsS9Ppx0QVFK
What more vengeance is there? His thugs are gunning down people in the streets.
Along w all the republicans! 7 Dems must be shamed but don’t let those traitorous republicans off the hook. They could end this at any moment and they choose to allow the American people to be brutalized and murdered
Here’s the wall of shame:
Democrats who still voted to fund it:
•Davis (NC-01)
•Cuellar (TX-28)
•Gillen (NY-04)
•Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03)
•Gonzalez (TX-34)
•Golden (ME-02)
• Suozzi (NY-03)
Note that Cuellar just got pardoned by Trump after being convicted on fraud charges.
