Instead of shouting into the ethers and dropping f-bombs all over Twitter, I'm gonna tell you what I want to see today from the Dems.

1) I want immediate implementation of @ElieNYC's brilliant idea of federalizing a force of OB/GYNs in Texas.

2) I want Manchin and Sinema stripped of committee assignments unless and until they vote to end the filibuster.

3) I want Dianne Feinstein pressured into resignation before the Sept. 14 recall election deadline so that Gavin Newsom can appoint her successor and this stupid charade of pretend confidence can end.

4) I want the DSCC and the DCCC to play hardball. No money for campaigns if you vote outside the agenda. If McConnell can make this happen, so can we.

5) I don't want to hear the word bipartisanship ever again from President Biden. Not ever. Not ever ever ever.

6) I want Roe v. Wade codified into federal law with legislation introduced TODAY.

7) I want the Green New Deal passed and codified.

8) While we're at it, NATIONWIDE MASK MANDATE.

9) I want every member of Congress who spoke at the 1/6 rally stripped of Committee assignments.

10) I want every member of Congress who voted to overturn the election stripped of Committee assignments.

11) I want the sergeant at arms of the Senate and the House empowered to detain anyone who interferes with the 1/6 committee, including by defying subpoenas. This power was used in the past and needs to be reinstated for 1/6 witnesses, including Reps.

That's for starters. But I'm just gonna say this: we've seen what they can and will do. We've known it forever and now it's bearing fruit.

NO MORE FUCKING AROUND. WE ELECTED YOU. START ACTING LIKE IT.

VOTING RIGHTS. I meant to include and did not. Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act through the Senate today or write the tombstone for America.

And the For the People Act, obviously.

LET’S GO.
