Me, thinking about how to make this case to Trumpers
As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

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. 👇
Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.
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.

I’ve called AKlo (202) 224-3244 and Tina Smith (202) 224-5641 and so should you! Don’t cave!
🚨 We’re hearing that Senate Democrats are on the verge of caving to Trump in another “Schumer Surrender.”

That means your Democratic senators need to hear from you right now.

Someone explain why Ward 4 & 5 reject Fateh
This wasn't a vanity project for Omar the way it is for Frey. Frey's approach to governing is self-serving and hostile to anyone who doesn’t have power. That was the main difference in this election: who each side was fighting for. And again, big money and entrenched power won.

For Roper to call Fateh or bulk of his supporters far left is to do ideological work. It’s lazy and unsurprising. Go talk to some Maoists and some anarchists.

What is the point of local reporting if the columnist is going to clumsily apply a US national politics frame to a local election?

Zero reporting on the flood of McDonalds money--including a franchise owner under consent decree for sexual assault of a 14 year old--going to Frey. Zero reporting on the Trump money. Zero reporting on Frey's ties to Feeding Our Future. Zero reporting on ICE praising O'Hara's actions on June 3rd.

Five yrs ago today in my role as head of Voter Protection for Biden-Harris in Phila, at right about this moment, I was reaching out to our team to figure out who could sneak into a hastily-called press conference by Rudy Giuliani at the Four Seasons Hotel ... and then, what, it's going to be where??

So the Epstein vote isn't the only reason Mike Johnson should fear Rep. Yassamin Ansari. More of this, please.
Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.
