🚨 Donald Trump and the Republican Party are damaging our economy and threatening our democracy. Democrats need to learn how to win again, but they can't do it with the same old tactics and candidates. Here's exactly how Democrats can start winning: www.welcomestack.org/p/introducin...

ICYMI: Tom Suozzi was one of the only members in 2024 to go on offense and take the issue of immigration head-on instead of pivoting or ignoring it. Let’s make sure he wins again in 2026. www.welcomestack.org/p/the-tom-su...

Up North, we celebrate the Revolution, but whisper about the Civil War. As West Point re-hangs a portrait of Robert E. Lee, it’s time for Democrats to rediscover the other Union pride. And give credit to the Southern Unionists who made the difference. www.welcomestack.org/p/890-the-ot...

Why is Mamdani pivoting to the center? Look to AOC campaign doc for the “Signal” vs. the Substance www.welcomestack.org/p/892-dsas-s...

Democrats, choose your fighter: Newsom or Whitmer? www.welcomestack.org/p/893-newsom...

And the first state to vote in the 2028 presidential primary will be ... www.welcomestack.org/p/894-living...

Starting in 2032, the White House will look like the Senate. That should make Democrats nervous, and force changes fast. www.welcomestack.org/p/896-white-...

With 896 until the first 2028 presidential primary votes are counted, the read of the day says ... Starting in 2032, the White House is just like the Senate The current Democratic coalition is shut out without a ton of luck www.welcomestack.org/p/896-white-...

There is a big debate on moderation wining elections Today's read of the day is from Noah Smith: does moderation lead to better policy? www.welcomestack.org/p/898-modera...

"Literally everyone is triggered"

Did moderates just dominate social media for a day by putting out a verbal blacklist? Sure seems like it Via @thirdway.bsky.social www.welcomestack.org/p/899-verbal...

WAR isn’t just about identifying Democratic overperformers It helps identify weak Republicans who can be beaten www.welcomestack.org/p/905-offens...

Tom Suozzi was one of the only members in 2024 to go on offense and take the issue of immigration head-on instead of pivoting or ignoring it. He over performed then. He's going to win again in 2026. We are proud to endorse him today. www.welcomestack.org/p/the-tom-su...

"Strategist versus organizer" "Their consultants are garbage" How AOC knew she'd win, from the 2018 documentary www.welcomestack.org/p/916-differ...

Trump’s second term is six months old today His numbers? 🔻 Approval down 🔻 Even base is softening 🔻 Every issue down, even immigration But somehow… still more popular than Trump I. www.welcomestack.org/p/932-six-mo...

ICYMI: Janelle Stelson is back and ready to finish the job. She is running against one of the most extreme Republicans in Congress, and ran in one of the closest races in 2024. She can win in 2026. www.welcomestack.org/p/janelle-st...

Of the top 16 House fundraisers, 100% of GOP money is going to competitive races—while 91% of Democratic money is going to safe seats. Democrats are funding viral videos and list buys. Republicans are funding battlegrounds. This is a problematic trend.

Centrist Democrats in purple states and districts face a conundrum: They know Republicans will tie them to Zohran Mamdani and paint them as radicals. But "It’s hard to distance yourself from cool." as @liamkerr.bsky.social told me. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

🚨 An analysis of the top 16 fundraisers in the House shows 100% of GOP money is going to competitive races But 91% of Democratic money is going to safe seats We need smarter donors! www.welcomestack.org/p/935-a-heal...

“Progressives are like ‘Succession,’ centrists are like the NFL,” says @liamkerr.bsky.social. “One gets high ratings across every demographic every single fall, while the other occasionally dominates elite conversation. Mamdani-mania is like the season finale.”

Republicans gerrymanders are driving down the odds of Democrats flipping the House But there’s a solution: make them Dummymanders www.welcomestack.org/p/939-odds-o...

BREAKING: NYC’s Mayoral election is on Tuesday. We encourage voters not to rank Zohran Mamdani. He didn’t endorse Kamala Harris, doesn’t support our platform, and if he wins, his policies will hurt our chance to win the midterms. We can’t afford that. For more: open.substack.com/pub/demwinsm...

RCV in NYC has revolutionized negative campaigning “Don’t Rank” campaign dynamic requires new tactics Featuring new report from Third Way on DSA platform www.welcomestack.org/p/961-scorch...

Ranked Choice Voting has the potential to deliver centrist outcomes But if progressives keep out-organizing centrists, Democrats may have to answer for more Mamdanis On electoral reform, defunding the police for trans women, and the situation in NYC www.welcomestack.org/p/966-mamdan...
