one more election thing this morning: because New York is large, people might lose sight of the Mamdani victory being local politics. but it is, and it points up the potential of local politics to reshape direction, to inspire broadly, to change the story

“A Busy, Busy Day at the Airport”

btw telling democrats how to message is a fool’s errand, they have their own ineffective ideas & they’re married to them, but tariffs are austerity. that’s a winning message. you’ll never hear it again outside of this post

Chuck Schumer right now:

Keep in mind when you talk about marriage equality that until disabled people can get married without losing access to benefits, marriage equality doesn't exist.

we all know where Schumer got his strategy from

Frodo don’t destroy the ring, you’ll just be playing into their hands by reacting at all imho

The Democratic Party’s problems are not about being moderate or left. That’s a consultant and pundit red herring

The problems are in party organization, the culture of “it’s their turn” nominations, candidate recruitment, gerontocracy, inability to shape media topics, and coming off hella lame

Think about that 60-some-year-old South Korean senator who was literally climbing over walls to vote for impeachment as martial law was imposed in the country and then looking at…. Chuck Schumer.

CALL CHUCK SCHUMER'S SENATE OFFICE AND TELL HIM TO RESIGN FOR HIS PATHETIC CAVING TO MAGA ROBBER BARONS AND FASCISTS
