After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.
We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.
If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

Cheryl Hines—who has mostly steered clear of RFK’s antivaxx world—headlined a weekend gala for Children’s Health Defense. At the private party, which I watched from the back of the room, she praised CHD and hawked her book— proceeds which were promised to CHD. www.msnbc.com/news/news-an...

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Thiel wasn’t alone in his fury at the press. Dissatisfaction with the mainstream media was growing in Silicon Valley. After a decade of fawning, excessively laudatory coverage, reporters- slowly but surely-were asking harder questions.
