Some Democrats on Capitol Hill are discussing how to get New York Sen. Chuck Schumer to step aside as Senate minority leader amid concerns about his negotiating style and midterms strategy on.wsj.com/47cP6zo

@LeftyWinter how does this line up with endorsing julie johnson who does not have long standing progressive bonafides? @AOC @cascamike @OliverHidWoh
English
@adamschiffhater @hopecorefan @Zoomer_Doomer_ unfortunately she has a history of not endorsing in primaries despite her reputation
English
@hopecorefan @Zoomer_Doomer_ I see it more as “well I fucked up in NC and IL, maybe I should change my policy now”
English
I say this as an AOC supporter, she should’ve used her power in the party to help boost Kat in which there wasn’t an incumbent. So why should we believe she would actually do this
Winter@LeftyWinter
AOC doesn't rule out endorsing primary challengers against incumbents in the House. axios.com/2026/03/19/aoc…

@hopecorefan @Zoomer_Doomer_ i know at least 4 of her staffers that are on here 👀
English
@Zoomer_Doomer_ she had a chance in NC and even a bigger win-win chance in IL, this is just annoying to me
it is some sort of virtue signaling because one of her staffers is probably on this side of twitter

@biobiogirl1 @Anokataxs @lizatliz it was organized by the dem women caucus with other members x.com/DemWomenCaucus…
Democratic Women's Caucus@DemWomenCaucus
The message from Carlisle was clear—women are paying the price for Republican cuts to Medicaid, health care, and family support. That’s why @repaoc, @repteresalf, @repbeccab, and @repchrissyhoulahan are taking this fight back to Washington, because there’s too much at stake for families across America.
English
@Anokataxs @lizatliz weird that there was no announcement in advance
English
My impression of ossoff is that he wants to be president way more than AOC does (derogatory)
Aaron Blake@AaronBlake
My increasing impression of Jon Ossoff is that he's good at talking about the low-hanging-fruit Trump issues that other Democrats for some reason aren't.
English
@xHaustedOfStats yeah i use it sometimes and it's not what people on here make it out to be.
English
BlueSky hate from the left has gone out of hand lately. All these posts get like no interactions or they get cooked.
Nathan Bernard@nathanTbernard
Bluesky is having a very normal reaction to Elizabeth Warren endorsing Platner.
English
@MichaelDavLange @SpecialPuppy1 yeah it depends on if dems ever get rid of the filibuster
English
@webobll @SpecialPuppy1 Ya you could be right. But then you run into the problem where Ds have to either win big enough to be able to pass reforms that survive the court (or retribution when Rs Win back power), or sustain winning long enough to be able to retake the court eventually (near impossible)
English
They did not. American politics is incredibly cyclical. It’s not really possible to achieve a “final victory” over your political enemies
Jeremy Kauffman 🦔🌲🌕@jeremykauffman
The American right had a once in a generation moment to crush the left and squandered it.
English
@MichaelDavLange @SpecialPuppy1 I think a supreme court where one party basically hates you is hard to sustain. maybe ill be wrong
English
@webobll @SpecialPuppy1 In there much of a history of the public punishing the Supreme Court electorally? Like maybe abortion in 22 but that probably wasn’t that much and it only lasted one cycle.
If anything, the public will punish Dems for not being able to pass anything (since SCOTUS will kill all)
English
@MichaelDavLange @SpecialPuppy1 a court that is ruling against public opinion will face backlash and maybe reforms. hard to predict the future in politics
English
@SpecialPuppy1 Imo the American right actually is an Alito and Thomas retirement and replacement away from one of the biggest opposition crushing moments since the Roosevelt era started
Not a final victory, but a sustained one.
(Unless court packing which I doubt really happens)
English
@SpecialPuppy1 if they did things differently the backlash may have been smaller
English
@lindsayballant @4CPcomics @HeerJeet I like Abdul too. but McMorrow isn't bad? and she ahs a better shot of winning than he does. also if a m4a vote ever came to the senate floor they would both vote for it
English
@4CPcomics @HeerJeet That’s exactly what I expected from her, which is why the Platner endorsement is wild. Calculated liberalism that stops the left. She claims to support M4A too, then why not support the candidate running on it
English
Might log into Bluesky for one (1) time this month just to see them lose their shit over Warren’s endorsement of Platner. The professional class wokescolds are her core base, this must be devastating for them
English
Agree that it's "fun to watch" but voters should be aware that she is a *massive* electoral under-performer, so while Warren "Warren likes Candidate X" is not definitive proof that Candidate X is a bad choice in a hard race, it is definitely evidence that Candidate X is bad.
Amanda Litman@amandalitman
Elizabeth Warren getting involved in Democratic Senate primaries (and going against Schumer/the DSCC picks) is fun to watch and I hope more of her colleagues do the same. It’s more proof the establishment has lost the juice.

They had Zohran’s wife on Magazine covers while she using the n word 🤣
English
just curious but like what is zohran supposed to do lol. get a divorce? i’m just a bit confused of what the resolution here is
Jon Levine@LevineJonathan
NEW from me Rama Duwaji — the wife of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani— shared several posts glorifying Palestinian terrorism on old social media accounts that remain active. Duwaji also used the N-word. freebeacon.com/democrats/zohr…
English
@AnthonyMEmerson he should wear a suit more often. i think it helped zohran
English
One thing I noticed here: Platner’s in a suit, not his normal campaign attire. He said he will always wear a suit while in the Capitol if elected.

Graham Platner has been spotted at the US Capitol. Platner is seeking the Democratic nomination for US Senate in Maine. Photo credit: @samsomogye

@umichvoter can you link your other polls too? curious how this will compare
English
By supporting the SAVE Act, @SenSusanCollins is once again doing what's best for her party, not for Maine people.
