Tuesday

Yes, elections must be won, but victory must be followed with fearless, unhesitating progressive governance, and in order for that to happen, congressional Democrats must have the courage, in the short term, to investigate and impeach Trump and his cabinet for their crimes and corruption, and, in the long term (in 2029), to kill the filibuster and expand the court.

Otherwise change “to make a positive difference in people's lives.” Will be impossible.
