All the people saying "nothing's going to happen as a result of this" are treating themselves as a spectator to history rather than a participant. We have to be the outrage we want to see in the world.

Americans are already getting pounded by high healthcare costs. I'm not rolling the dice on my constituentsâ healthcare on some pathetic promise from the Senate for a future vote that Mike Johnson wonât honor anyway. Nope.

Essentially, this is a case of over promising and under-delivering. In fact, the defining trait of Trumpâs second presidency has been avoiding having him in a room with Schumer and Jeffries to cut a deal. This is why Johnson put the debt limit in OBBBA, which pissed off Rand Paul.

We...desperately need more low-income people in Congress who know what it's like to navigate health insurance problems. But we live in an ableist society where it's hard for younger disabled and chronically ill politicians to get elected.

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

Every disaffected Dem & swing focus group we do begins with people asking what's real. They hear, at times, this is authoritarian takeover threatening lives & livelihoods. But perceive most "leaders" not acting as if this were so.

Why has the government been closed at all if Senate Dems cave now? Didn't they say that they could not go along with throwing millions of people off health care? What's materially changed? A *promise* is not action. ALSO fascists lie and I've been told by some Senate Dems that the GOP is fascist.

If you're a young person, find your people are try stuff. You don't know how it will turn out AND THAT'S A GOOD THING. Failure is a natural part of living. Not something to be scared of. Try shit. Don't sit back and throw stones at others who are trying shit.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You donât need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in âpoliteâ politics: Praising bad people is not actually âcivility.â

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.

This was Beto 2018 in Texas. So many connections/friendships made, so people stayed in organizing. Weâre still deep in the weeds down here, even more so now that theyâre making us a major cog in the deportation machine, but I got to see what this could look like on that campaign & havenât forgotten.
