They’re coalescing around Van Hollen
Sen.-elect Peggy Flanagan, who has called for new Senate Dem leadership, on Van Hollen: "I have been very impressed by Senator Van Hollen's leadership and I can tell you that I think there's a lot of new voices who are coming into the Capitol and we should listen to the power of those voices. We certainly haven't had any formal conversations, but I appreciate Senator Van Hollen's leadership."

Reminder: the Warren wing of the party is essentially leading the push for Leader Van Hollen. If you support Liz (or Bernie for that matter), you should get on board with @VanHollenForMD.
Replying to @bhaviklathia
I’d rather it was Warren but I’d settle for VanHollen

People tend to forget about this, but the Abrego Garcia saga was the turning point in the popularity of Trump's immigration policy. We have Van Hollen to thank for that.
When Schumer was still in "duck and cover" mode after 2024, Van Hollen flew to El Salvador where Kilmar Ábrego García had been illegally sent to CECOT and did not stop until Trump was forced to follow the law. This is the kind of voice that should be leading Democrats right now.

We need to develop some more actual left-wing number guys. Most of the big names either are viciously anti-progressive or basically just ape whatever those centrist guys are saying even if they are nominally progressive.

chris van hollen flew down to el salvador to get proof of life for his constituent kilmar garcia when the kidnappings were happening. we need fighters to lead at this critical moment. van hollen is also closer to the democratic base on his approach to foreign policy.
NEW: Sen. Chris Van Hollen is now open to a run against Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer Van Hollen has "received an outpouring of calls and is now in active listening mode," according to a person familiar w/ his thinking around leadership "The door is not shut," the person added Van Hollen is a leading progressive & has said he needs commitments from Schumer before agreeing to support him for another term as leader. The Maryland Democrat has also been eyeing a presidential run

Key example of how propaganda normalizes casual racism, by the way. Don't give this shit a single inch.

As an immediate first step to Medicare for All, the new Democratic Congress must lower the Medicare eligibility age to 55, cover all kids & expand Medicare for dental, vision & hearing. All of this can be passed with 51 votes in the Senate through reconciliation. Let’s do it.

If you're a tgirl that is afflicted with some degree of dissociative amnesia, dont feel human or emotionally contiguous, have immense trouble with empathy/theory of mind it'll do you a lot of good to reflect on your childhood trauma and show some grace and love to that scared kid

"We need term limits" Americans need to grow some balls and actually vote out incumbents, actually
Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa, who is 93 years old, has just filed his paperwork to seek reelection in 2028. Grassley was first elected into office when election results were still being delivered by carrier pigeons. We fucking need term limits.

These numbers are going up, by the way: A Democratic House staffer told me their office got nearly 800 calls about Jeffries on Friday alone. Most of the staffers I'm talking to describe this as the most call volume they've ever experienced. axios.com/2026/11/06/jeffrie…
NEW: House Dems "inundated" w/ calls & emails urging them not to elect Jeffries speaker One member told @axios they got "300-400" calls in 2 days Another said "over 500" A third said "higher" than 500: "It's our No. 1 issue, and it's not close." axios.com/2026/11/06/jeffrie…

today, November 7, 2026, the shooting of President William McKinley is the exact halfway point of America's history as an independent nation. it happened 45,718 days ago, and 45,718 days after the Declaration of Independence was signed
Replying to @jfkplus60
FLASH: President McKinley has been shot! The man's handkerchief concealed a revolver, which he fired twice into the President's torso. McKinley turns pale, swoons, and is caught by his personal secretary, George Cortelyou.

i think a lot of trans women would benefit from adopting an attitude like this towards dysphoria. its not bad to feel bad but u need to remember that the way u talk about and engage with your insecurities can reinforce negative thoughts and make u worse !!!
