For the 1792–1825 party, see Democratic-Republican Party.

The Democratic Party is a liberal political party in the United States, sitting on the center to center-left of the political spectrum. Founded in 1828, it is the world's oldest active political party. Its main rival is the Republican Party, and since the 1850s both have dominated American politics.

T Calloway: This contest has already played out... and we are living the result. Reality is a very convincing argumetn. Black Twitter ain't havin' no Bernie. Overall, I'm sayin. And TBH, his fans don't recommend him to me any more. I'm not Black Twitter. I follow Black Twitter. So I can understand why they ain't havin' no Bernie. And they really are not.

okay you can stop waiting now

Amy Klobuchar:

It was a shock this morning to find out that my friend Lindsey Graham has died. He was a man who loved his work, his country, and his family. He didn’t have an easy life growing up and to me that explained a lot about him as well as his devotion to his remaining family members including his sister. It also explained his almost kid-like exuberance about his job and the responsibilities he was given (even in his sixties he would get off a plane in a foreign land with a twinkle in his eye and look at me as if to say, can you believe we are actually here and doing this?).

Lindsey was loyal to friends and causes. He was willing to work on gnarly issues and take on (at times) political risks for the right reasons. It is fitting that he died shortly after visiting Ukraine, one of those causes he would stand up for through thick and thin.

Much will be said in the coming days about his relationships with others—President Trump and John McCain for instance—but what can’t be forgotten is the reason why so many people he worked with—from senators to staff—will mourn his loss: Lindsey had a zest for life and the Senate that made you want to get to work on a bill with him or at least debate him. He brought joy to his job.

Lindsey Graham was the one who was willing to work with me (when so few would) on helping the Afghan refugees. I remember standing outside of a little phone booth in the Republican cloakroom last year as he spoke with the Vice President, holding up a sign that said “Save the Afghans” and he put the phone on hold and said “OK OK I will go on your bill even if it gets me in trouble.” Or his early willingness to lead on big tech bills, including repealing the provision that protects them from consumer suits.

But mostly my fond memories of spending time with Lindsey (and we travelled the world with John McCain) was not about the ups and downs of his policy positions. It was about his love for the world, his

except for this lol

MAMDANI’S PRESIDENTIAL PICK: Mamdani harshly criticized Donald Trump in the run-up to the 2024 election, but never used his platform as an assemblymember and mayoral candidate with a big social media following to promote Kamala Harris — a notable difference from his fellow contenders in the Democratic mayoral primary.

“I proudly voted for Kamala Harris on the Working Families Party line,”

This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety.

It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge.

In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new beginning. Let’s hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead.

wish it was easier to get blatantly racist youtube channels like this shut down. it's so disgusting that people can make an income off of this stuff. a deeply sick society.

@zeldazigreat.bsky.social: Seems like racism to say musk is transphobic, what has musk ever done? or do they just think all African Americans are the the same?

@zeldazigreat.bsky.social: Yeah, he's autistic. That's why he did that. It has nothing to do with him being African-American.

hmm quite an interesting sequence of events here! sure wish this would get the investigation it deserves... i doubt they were even good about covering their tracks

“I had just moved into that address three months prior. The only people that had that address were my utilities and the [Office of Personnel Management], and the HR systems within my agency,” he says. “I hadn't even updated my bank, my cell phone, my car registration, my license, all of it was not on that address yet.”

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM), functions as a sort of HR for the whole government, and was one of the first places where DOGE operatives appeared after President Donald Trump was sworn into office in January 2025.

hey make sure everyone sees these posts if you're gonna keep quote tweeting this bullshit excuse lol you have the transphobia label because you are explicitly transphobic

Matt Baldwin‬ ‪@thisbrokenwheel.bsky.social‬: With heavy reluctance: as an outsider, IME there's a small segment of trans women (and further: mostly *white* trans women) who have not done the work to emotionally disentangle themselves from the sense of male privilege they were socialized to while living AMAB, and either consciously... ...or unconsciously attempt to leverage their status a trans person to accomplish the same social outcome.

I have never seen equivalent behavior in a trans man or from a non-binary or genderfluid person.

hmm looking at this I guess there must have been a policy change! one guy and his fans have been crying for years about banning the users he hates and I guess it was loud enough that the mods broke their own rules...

@jay.bsky.team
i do and i have but i'm sure there will be cases where it looks like they're engaging in good faith and i won't know what to do, and everyone will start yelling at me. the moderation policies here are not going to be "ban whoever the loudest group hates"
