Thu Feb 5, 2026, 06:56 PM

Thursday

is doing with their Negative Spin on Dems.. and so many ..

But people have leaned into the spin and used it to bash Schumer and Jeffries as weak, spineless, cowards, carrying water for Republicans, etc., which I think is unfair.

I have to say this whole thing is making me crazier. So much Negativity about Dems... and I think Unfairly, too.

I Don't Want the Fascists to Keep the House or the Senate in November.
