This is so offensive I don’t even know where to start.
“Vote blue no matter who and also shut the fuck up when those people betray you.”
Nope.
We will primary every senator who doesn’t call for Schumer to step down in the next 24 hours.
You work for us.

The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

I knew that Mamdani had it; he had the people and did the work, and has been the clearest and most lucid in rejecting the untenable current state of things. But the vile, bigoted shit against him was so constant, and I am conditioned to that working better than I want. This feels like an exorcism.

Tonight should remind everyone: As destructive and dangerous as Trump is, he's a trust fund kid who inherited a fortune and went bankrupt six times. He's going to crash and burn. A new generation of strong bold leaders will rise from the ashes. Tonight is only the beginning if we work for it.

the point of the ballroom obvs has nothing to do with aesthetics. it's to create an architectural structure to honor the patronage networks that currently dominate US politics. previous WH venues hosted maybe a couple of hundred people; this hosts nearly 1,000 rich donors.

I realize there's a lot going on with the shutdown, BUT DONALD TRUMP'S FORMER SPIRITUAL ADVISOR JUST PLED GUILTY TO SEXUALLY ABUSING A 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL.
Seems like something the media might want to ask the president about—if he ever stops hiding.
