“We solemnly promise to declare recess, make insider information trades, raid welfare funds, and take donor-paid-for vacations”
thunderous applause
And watch them recess for most of it.
I’m sure Schumer is writing a list right now about why he can’t do anything. Maybe he’s even using Anthropic or Claude to do it.
He’ll spend the first 100 days consulting with his fictional family.
Maybe, but I’m 100% sure he’s just asking Anthropic or Claude what the Bailey’s think he should do.
Two, strongly worded lists!
Shits being rigged 7 ways from Sunday. I’m still voting but I have little faith in “show up and vote!” doing fuckall this time around. Not because we’re apathetic or complacent at this point, but because they’re filthy corrupt fuckbags and are going to do anything and everything they can to retain full power and control.
Even if some kind of Blue tsunami manifests come Nov 3, and even IF Republicans reluctantly prepare for a peaceful transfer of Congress in Jan 2027, don’t stop the No Kings protests, don’t stop the resistance to ICE’s terrorism of cities and disappearing people into detention camps, don’t stop going to town halls to push back against Flock-style surveillance (including by other vendors) and AI data centres. Don’t stop calling and mailing your representative. The fight still continues regardless, every step we get will be through keeping the pressure on.
I’m not sure who said it but the line “If voting made any difference, we wouldn’t be allowed to do it.” keeps repeating in my head as this year’s election looms.
Then there’s the counterpoint that says “If voting did nothing they wouldn’t work so hard to prevent it.”
Hakeem is secretly meeting with Jared Kushner and taking Palantir money while trying to setup an AI regulatory committee with six other Palantir Dems
Aiapac Dems are funding aipac Republicans (AIPAC funds about 60% of Dems) over DSA and actual left leaning candidates (the ones that would bring justice to the blackmailed, Israeli traitors and deliver for the working class)
Tammy duckworth has said that we should “impeach nobody” and work with the war criminals committing crimes against humanity
Peter thiel has lost faith in maga and is funding Democrats.
Democrats haven’t said a peep about the installed Palantir, anduril, and other AI execs that couped the government and were installed into our military with ranks and their own autonomous killing drone unit. Lucky Palmer and his company support MOSTLY Democrats.
NONE of them (the corporate Dems in charge) Commit to abolishing ICE or cancelling their funding until massive reforms are made. They haven’t committed to bringing the killers of alex pretti and Renee good to justice.
We have learned that a certifiably insane and mentally ill president CAN NEVER BE REMOVED no matter how damaging is he is to our society, country, and position in the world. They are committing war crimes and crimes against humanity with over 4000 missing people that were never given due process and ICE has been caught trafficking these people MULTIPLE TIMES. he is building a six story bunker with a medical research facility, drone airport, and AI bunker that will be surrounded by machine gun nests. Our nation’s fuel supply is gone, the food system is going to collapse and is now vulnerable to cyber attacks as well as dangerous illnesses due to the gutting of all of our safety institutions and agencies.
With these existential threats, it’s good to see that Democrats will “vote to have oversight” and “reinstate affordable care tax cuts”. Should get us back on track quick.
Fox news is already projecting 218/219 Republican/democrat house so we are going to play the “what side am I on?” Game.
Mike johnson and the Democrats have even proven me correct when I stated that they will always be stopped by a margin, a rule, a parliamentarian that suddenly has all power, a postal board that is all powerful. Now, there is a clerk that can be fired that will allow Mike johnson to fuck with seating Democrats.
Our opposition party is run by CONTROLLED OPPOSITION
So I admittedly just skimmed it, but how quickly are the Trump admin traitors going to be thrown in jail, and for how long? Because that is the first step to fixing all of this.
As long as corporate Dems are still in leadership positions of the party, I would not trust them to practise what they preach.
I have some confidence in Ken Martin, the current DNC chair. DC consultants for the DNC seem to hate his guts, but he is partially responsible for the momentum Dems are seeing in unlikely places because the national party is not fully neglecting state races anymore, in favour of spending all the money in ‘swing state races’ as in recent years past.
Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, who is in line to become House speaker if the party wins power, said the Democrats will be united “right out of the gate” on reinstating Affordable Care Act tax breaks, reversing Republican Medicaid cuts, holding votes against the Iran war and undoing President Donald Trump’s tariff regime.
Saved ya a click. If people find more then I did please share if you will.
Narrator: And the people did give them the power, sadly once again they did nothing with it and as a direct consequence, the corruption and societal decline accelerated.
“The Agenda” better look like “Impeach [insert random powerful republican/Trump Sycophant]” for the first like 50 points, or it’s not worth mentioning. The next 50 points better be “make DAMN sure those people get jail time” as well.
After that if they could fix this rampant inflation by smacking the lazze faire capitalists with a rolled up newspaper (like the misbehaving dogs they are) that would be peachy. (I, of course, am being hyperbolic. I mean “hit them with so many regulations and closed tax loopholes their lawyers will curl up in the fetal position and start sucking their thumbs.” not ACTUALLY smacking them with news papers, but if they do anyway I won’t protest.)
The legislature can and shpuld impeach and remove from office. They have no part in arrewts or criminal convictions. That’s executive and judical.
Hi, I hear you like smacking people with newspapers :3?
TBF, with the collapse of local printed journalism, this is not as much a threat as it used to be.

Empty that agenda basket a little and put a few eggs off to the side, just in case.
First 100 day agenda should include getting rid of Jeffries and Schumer, and any other of these folks that seem unable to recognize that fascism is in our midst, and lack the willingness to stand up to it.
That’s because they work for Israel & not the USA.
Hey now! Didn’t you hear about the strongly worded letter?? Zzzz
if their sights are on anything other than uphold the rule of law by persuing the MANY, MANY crimes and criminals, then this country is truly lost. Status quo, or forgive and forget will be even more destructive than whatever maga has done so far. it sends the signal that there will be no punishment. this how you get spoiled children and rotten government.
I’m torn. I’ve pushed my DINO rep several times about an assurance that they will be dealt with, and all I get are crickets. I really really really would rather she lose so we can replace her with a better candidate in 2028, but I also recognize (and hate) that this is once again the most important election of my lifetime. It would be nice to be able to vote FOR somebody instead of against.
the most important election of my lifetime
That’s the new “voting third party is throwing away your vote.”
Took me forever to find the actual list. Nothing says 100 days of action like holding votes to force repubs to state if they want things to be transparent.
“oh no! A continuing resolution and vote of solidarity? Curses! Our nefarious fundamentalist plans are foiled again!” - How Centrists think their “actions” will be received by Conservatives
So um…Leftist here…(hi, yeah?) so refresh my memory: how did King George respond to a “strongly worded letter?” How’d that turn out? You know you can just skip that step, cause it never works, right? Like, ever?
I think this is what they HAVE done over the first 100 days not what they will do.
AKA strongly worded papers.
example: Foreign Affairs Committee Democrats are pushing back by:
Is it strongly worded tho?
Glasses firmly dipped.
So their agenda is restore the status quo. I had hoped maybe there would be more ambition than that.
Honestly if they could just undo the damage Trump has done, I would call it a win. Part of how we got here in the first place was never fixing the illegal wars, gulags, and other abuses of power under bush and trump. If you don’t fix them, they just keep building on each other, and any other initiative you succeed in building will quickly be destroyed by an ever more powerful fascist state.
reversing Republican Medicaid cuts,
So just for example, on that, if that’s all they try to do then they’ve failed. It’s not enough anymore to simply reverse it, they need to actually fix it by implementing actual universal coverage via Medicare for all, or NHS, or a German SHI. They need to actually stand for something other than the old bullshit status quo to win.
oh really so you’re not going to vote dem?
me thinks you are just as much the problem here
DINOs are the problem. If we haven’t hit rock bottom enough to see that then all is lost.
Honestly if they could just undo the damage Trump has done, I would call it a win.
If that’s all they did it would be losing, hard. It would leave everything open to happen again, or likely much worse. Heads need to roll.
Well yes by undoing it I mean undoing it so it doesn’t happen again. Which means heads rolling.
we see ourselves in the mirror, restoring the status quo means billionaires stay in charge, bombings continue, innocents die
even when we sweep the house it’s not enough:
I want to see us get medicare for all, trump and his cronies in guantanamo, the supreme court reformed, gerry mandering removed, age limits, term limits, data center moratoriums, an end to war, no more super pacs, no more citizens united, billionaire wealth tax, house and senate reform, ranked choice voting
and they end the filibuster to do it
then if we wanna quit “capitalism” we continue (we should end whatever this is)
all that said, vote. vote. vote.
I want this too, trust me. But if we get medicare for all and then lose democracy, will it really be a win? The fascists will just take it away again after long enough in power.
oh i’m voting blue on my end for sure, we can’t afford to not
but we need to hold these fuckers feet to the fire when the inevitably don’t do shit
id still rather democrats in office over trumplicans any day
Timothy Snyder warned this would be one of the worst things they could do.
For the first 100 days, restoring the status quo is already going to be a tall order given they’ll have opposition every step along the way. Fixing the damage needs to happen first and foremost before being able to progressing positive new change. Even if Dems somehow sweep both the house and Senate they still have to deal with Trump vetoing bills and such unless they miraculously win a super majority. They should at least be able to block his EOs and mitigate more damage though.
The math on the Senate won’t get a supermajority this cycle - Dems would have to win EVERY Senate race, and even then it gets us to 66 + Fetterman. So supermajority would need to be 2028 at the earliest.
They can also fuck with Trump’s funding.
I’d love to see them play hardball and do things like, “No budget will be passed and no money will be available for anything until ICE is abolished and disbanded” … but I’m pretty sure they don’t have the balls to even try that.
Some of them voted to fund ICE, so I don’t have high hopes there.
reinstating Affordable Care Act tax breaks, reversing Republican Medicaid cuts, holding votes against the Iran war and undoing President Donald Trump’s tariff regime.
I just lost my job to AI after 20 years. Losing Affordable Care Act coverage would limit my ability to study for the exam I need to pass to get a better job in the same field. It sounds pretty damn good from here.
