Dems should promise not only to prosecute the Trump family for enriching themselves at the expense of the country but also to use the tools of government to seize the wealth they’ve illegally accrued during his presidential terms.

9/🧵 What does this mean for Democratic strategy? All those debates about choosing between identity politics and economic populism? False premise. Young working-class voters with low racial resentment aren't choosing. They're ready for Medicare for All AND Black Lives Matter. Lean into the tide.

Stunned by the number of pundits on the news who are painting the Cave Caucus as heroes and dismissing all of us who are angry because we are "on line." And this includes pundits from both the left AND the right.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

The next big Indivisible rally (No Vichy’s!) needs to be for demanding a housecleaning of Dem leadership.
Just a reminder that after the “Schumer Surrender” in March, 82% of our group leaders in New York (and 91% of our group leaders nationwide) voted to call for Schumer to step aside as Senate Minority Leader. 👇
🧵 The passage of this dangerous Republican funding bill is a travesty. The ongoing administrative coup led by Donald Trump and Elon Musk is a constitutional crisis. The authoritarians stripping away our rights and trying to loot the government to enrich the billionaires are a five-alarm fire.

Please, no!
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Any “deal” that ends with Dems just getting a pinky promise in return is a mistake.
The American people are suffering because Republicans refuse to stop healthcare costs from skyrocketing. An agreement that doesn’t fix that reality falls massively short.

Trump is calling on the GOP to kill the filibuster, and now Democrats cave? Sickening.
SCHUMER is on the floor now making this offer to end the shutdown:
Clean CR
Bipartisan "minibus" of approps bills
1-year ACA funding extension
Bipartisan cmte to negotiate on health care
"This is a reasonable offer that reopens the government, deals with health care affordability."

Nice summary.
The entire pundit class has convinced people for so long that their “analysis” was somehow necessary and valuable when in reality it was just a con game to manufacture consent for bias-confirming “strategies” that only benefited the capitalist class and guaranteed pundits career security.
