If you’re a new Democratic US Representative or Senator you have an immediate job: Get your constituent services up and running. There are a ton of you in deep red territory and that’s the only way to survive 2028. You entrench yourself as deep into your community as possible

every step of the way, bernie drove substantive stakes into the ground. he demanded changes in the 2016 platform. forced concessions through the 2020 task forces. he is never satisfied and he does not rest. and, most importantly, he’s right and he’s been right for a long time.

AIPAC corruption story: its Democratic Majority for Israel admits I was leading in #CA48 by 10 pts until it bought the election for my opponent. This is how Haley Stevens & John Fettermans are born. Congrats to Israeli lobby’s favorite new member of Congress Marni von Wilpert.

⚡️ Republican Rep. Mario Díaz-Balart, a Cuba hardliner and staunch supporter of Israel and U.S. military aid to Israel, holds a narrow lead over Democrat Nicole Locklin in Florida’s 26th Congressional District with the race still to close to call. Díaz-Balart has served in Congress since 2003. Locklin has made his support for Israel and U.S. funding of the genocide in Gaza a central campaign issue. She calls Israel’s assault on Gaza a genocide and supports an immediate arms embargo. Unofficial results show Díaz-Balart leading by fewer than 1,800 votes. More from Grim in the tweet below. An excerpt of her interview with BP two weeks ago where Locklin discussed what she learned by traveling the world alone is attached ⬇️ @ryangrim | @locklin2026 | @krystalball
NEWS: Nicole Locklin tells me she has been unable to get ahold of the DCCC or DNC as her very narrow race remains uncalled, after 3,000 of her votes were stripped away from her total. If 4,200 votes in Broward remain, she is still within striking distance of winning given her margins there.

OMG - this would be such a brilliant move, @amyklobuchar @SenAmyKlobuchar !!!!
Wouldn't it just fry Trump for Governor Amy Klobuchar to appoint Governor Tim Walz to fill her Senate seat. His cabinet would have to sit and answer to Senator Tim Walz.

I'm so tired of pundits saying that wins in TX, MS, GA, SC, NC are "shocking." It's NOT shocking. Most of those states used to be "blue" before DNC abandoned the 50-state strategy in 2005 and defunded more than a dozen state parties and shuttered 1600 offies nationwide, to focus on wealthy "donor heavy" areas. In 2024 alone the Dem part left 65% of seats uncontested up and down the ballot. Only one name on the ballot, from local races, state house races, all the way up to Federal. These weren't "red states," these were states where people had no choice on the ballot. Even then, Dems would work against progressives who attempted to run in those states. Remember how they co-opted Stacey Abrams in Georgia, only to throw her under the bus later and kill the movement in 2020? My article from October last year:

I don’t even know what to do with myself after these midterm results

After tonight Democrats are gonna need a New Deal. We have a generational opportunity that the current party leadership will squander. The folks that nearly flipped Florida, the voters, have spoken loudly and clearly like the rest of the country. Time for new leadership.

Coates: “Stevens, in joining Rogers, has allied herself with this odious culture war, one tied to a very real war. The campaign of hate, of which El-Sayed is the latest victim, has a simple goal: to render Muslims and Arabs more killable.” vanityfair.com/story/ta-nehi…

19-year-old first-time voter to @AngieNixon: I'm a nursing student here at the University of Central Florida, and my question is, how do you feel that we can get healthcare more affordable for all, or even free healthcare?
