Local Democratic electeds: this is the new standard
Good to see electeds calling out the media clearly
Balint: "If President Biden or President Obama had said anything remotely like this, it would be nonstop coverage on every single channel and everyone on the other side of the aisle would be howling about it and demanding that they step down."

Striking to see Dem electeds calling on people to join the NoKings protests.
I encourage everyone to consider attending one of the many demonstrations planned for tomorrow across the country.
Show up. Demand accountability. Peacefully protest.

Important, we need our electeds to speak out
Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski says the quiet part out loud: “We are all afraid… I am oftentimes very anxious about using my voice because retaliation is real.”

more of this energy from electeds, please
You can put me down as a member of congress who will absolutely not work with DOGE. They want to dismantle the social safety net and our institutions. Hard pass.

Shouldn’t electeds reflect the will of the people?
UPDATE, 24+ hours since the Trump-Vance admin bombed Iran:
— 52 House members signed onto the Massie-Khanna War Powers Resolution
— 3 Senators supporting Kaine's War Powers Resolution
— 8 Senators signed onto Bernie's No War Against Iran Act
60 total. 59 Democrats. 1 Republican.

there is such a pathological fear among dem electeds of backlash that it leads them to basically do nothing
As the unofficial Dem strategy explainer on here I can't really tell you why Jeffries had such a wimpy response to the Eric Adams quid pro quo. At some point this just becomes a timid resistance to doing anything.

Yes. How do Dem electeds not understand this dynamic? After all these years?
At some point we have to let pain hurt Trump instead of helping him. Every time we let pain help him, he’ll do more and bigger next time.
Each acquiescence means the next one will be *more* painful.

we need emergency remedial comms training for all dem electeds and their staff
RFK Jr. is not wrong. We are failing to keep our communities healthy. This message resonates with many.
But I have serious concerns about his ability and expertise to lead such a sweeping overhaul of the HHS workforce. We need accountability, not just rhetoric.

they basically disincentivize electeds trying to work with them by specifically antagonizing the electeds who show up

Talking to some congressional insiders, it does sound like Democratic electeds, especially Senate, are incredibly opposed to working not only on weekends, but on Fridays.
A massive energy disconnect between the base and electeds, and sad to see during authoritarian consolidation

Not a word about this from Democratic leaders today
NEW: Wearing masks, no ID, unmarked & blacked out cars, refusing to say what agency they’re from and using profanity with any press & public nearby.

I was worried about doing this but I feel like our electeds are blowing it
@mollyjongfast.bsky.social Thank you for your pushback against Michigan Sec. of State Benson. I was just about to ff to the end from boredom when you called her out. She just doesn’t get it. We are crying out for polemics and rhetoric and marching orders!

Dem electeds want influencers in media to say stuff like "I sure do approve of the job our wonderful Dem electeds are doing" when the thing Dems need influencers to actually say is like "the shitty economy is really shit right now huh"
