Kirsten Gillibrand responds to criticism that Schumer backed Haley Stevens, who lost Michigan's primary and then turned on Abdul El-Sayed "The DSCC doesn't really have a primary strategy. If it's a blue state, we really let all flowers bloom." Link: politico.com/news/2026/11/14…

prime example of planting trees whose shade he’ll never sit in. history will look kindly upon him.
Senator Bernie Sanders sitting alone on the steps of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. after his amendment to cut Medicare drug prices by 50% was defeated 99-1, 2022.

Lis smith broke out on the scene by orchestrating Pete Buttigieg’ complete ratfking of the Iowa Caucus using the Shadow app (look this up). Spiking polls, declaring victory despite not winning. All to “Stop Sanders” having a splash at the first primary.
Lis Smith of @MajorityDems says it would be the "height of hubris" for Democrats to push for Medicare for All or stopping ICE.

If we were a poor country, it would be reasonable to question whether we can achieve universal health care. We're not. We're the richest country in the history of the world. There is no reason we cannot guarantee health care to all our people through Medicare for All.

I’ve just checked, and Hannity also claimed to be leaving the Catholic Church in 2017, 2019 and this April.
“As of today, I no longer consider myself a Catholic” Fox News’ Sean Hannity makes it pretty clear: Trump comes before everything, even over his religion. It’s a cult.

it isn't his age! (what is Bernie Sanders' age?) it is Schumer's loyalties & connections that render him useless at a time when swift certain Democratic leadership is required; Schumer does not have this.
Chuck Schumer is 75 years old. He cannot adequately relate to younger generations. The average retirement age is 65. Schumer is a decade past that. It’s a different world and we deserve leadership that understands this.

Because your whip hosted an AIPAC-adjacent PAC event at the same time so they would miss the vote. Your whip literally planned this.
Why is Pete Hegseth still around?

Senate rules require federal office space. Instead, CHUCK SCHUMER leases a suite in a luxury Midtown tower surrounded by the private equity donors bankrolling him. You pay the pricey rent. Wall Street gets the access. Private equity keeps their loopholes.

President Biden: “What Trump did on January 6, 2021, should never be forgotten. It should follow him to the grave.” That’s absolutely right. Sadly, January 6, 2021 should also have been followed, no more than fourteen days later, with an 𝙄𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙚 criminal investigation and prosecution of Trump. The fact that a decision was made—and it was a decision—not to seek Trump’s accountability from the outset did unprecedented, and possibly irreparable, damage to the nation.
A first excerpt from Joe Biden's memoir:

I cannot believe we’re about to pretend that the biggest midterm victory since the Great Depression and the fact that the whole Democratic Party started speaking like Bernie Sanders and Mamdani are unrelated

The 2026 midterms were one giant tribute to Bernie Sanders. I couldn’t be happier for him. He’s earned every bit of it.

Pope Leo and Bob Dylan look like they're starring in an early '90s CBS drama in which two priests - one by the book and one who does things his own way - try to solve mysteries in their seemingly sleepy Midwestern town that hides a seedy underbelly.

Bernie Sanders-style economic populism is “moderate” election-winning politics in basically every district in America This is something that a few of us have known and been eyerolled/scoffed at for saying for literally 30 years…and now everyone else is realizing it. It’s amazing.

Considering this historic election validated literally everything @BernieSanders has been saying for 50 years, he deserves to be Time’s Person Of The Year. I’m not quite sure there’s anyone who deserves it more.

They told us our politics could never win. We kept organizing. A decade later, the movement Bernie inspired is setting the agenda. Now we turn that power into a better life for working people. Not me. Us.
