The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.
These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

If you live in California, now’s your chance to fight back against Trump’s attack on free and fair elections. Vote YES on Proposition 50.
Early voting starts today. Let’s make sure Republicans know that we won’t let them rig our elections.

House Republicans would rather keep the government shut down than release the Epstein files.
Republicans continue to postpone the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva, the newest Democrat elected to Congress, for a sixth day.
Her day one promise is to be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files.

If we’re going to get serious about ending this horrific political violence then let’s get serious. Your friend and our friends were both gunned down this year by madmen, Mr. President. This cannot be ok.

Our politics seems to be entering a phase of "right supremacy" where only the lives of right-wingers have value. Assassinating the leader of a state legislative body in her own damn home was business as usual, but all of America has to have a reckoning if it's a far-right online influencer.

The right-wing narrative on political violence is that it's funny/tough/macho/justified/patriotic when they do it, and an absolute tragedy/moral outrage when it's done to them.
That's who Charlie Kirk was. That's what the entire right wing is.

The Trump regime is turning the military against its own people and summarily executing people on the high seas. If the best Dems can do in the funding fight is "hey, we saved subsidies for another year" then we are truly lost as a party.
