New Mexico's universal free childcare (so Elizabeth Warren!), Colorado's free lunch, Mamdani's free buses: something good is happening. (And don't anyone get riled up but maybe it's happening incrementally?) p.s. Some (but not all) free community colleges in California.

Everyone’s talking about Pennsylvania, Virginia, and New Jersey — but the real sleeper story is Mississippi. Democrats flipped multiple legislative seats and broke the GOP supermajority in the State Senate. In deep-red Mississippi! That’s news too — and it says something big is shifting.

CA Democrats probably just saved the House of Representatives for the entire country but MSNCB decided a mayoral race in NYC was more important to talk about. We had less than 8 weeks to get this done and managed record turnout. Stop telling me Democrats are bad at messaging. It’s a MSM problem.

The moderates and fascists are going to be terrified. They’re going to be desperate and, just like we saw with Cuomo, they’re going to increasingly side with one another. That’s what history teaches us and it’s on us to be ready for the fight. And, if we are, we will win.
