Brushed off my 📝 for the Observer UK.

Major, but simple things to learn from the Mamdani win with big opportunities ahead.

We can, and will, win again. But only if we stay united, focus on the task at hand, and remember who the real opposition is.

Trump support amongst young men 📉:

- Only 15% believe country is heading in right direction
- Less than 1/3 approve of Trump
- 51% believe Trump's policies will hurt their finances over the next few yrs

Dems not doing great either, but have opportunity to grow.

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

New memo from Neera Tanden and CAP Action Fund makes the policy and messaging case for Democrats to hold the line against House CR: “However, supporting the MAGA plan will sap momentum that is building against Republicans.” Being distributed to Dems today, sent over by a source.

NOW: More than 98% of #Costco shareholders have just rejected an anti-DEI measure

The attempt to force Costco to audit their #DEI work was by an anti-inclusion lobby group:

"The proponent's broader agenda is not reducing risk for the Company but abolition of diversity initiatives." - Costco Board

I don’t know if I’m the only one that feels this way but today when I receive the kindness of strangers or acquaintances or friends and family alike it is so so so so much more meaningful and felt than ever before. And I see it everywhere. ♥️

Popping up on your feed just let you know, it’s gonna be ok. You’re gonna be ok. The world sucks right now but it never lasts forever. Play a game, talk to a friend, watch a movie, read a comic, escape. Your community will always be here for you, and no executive order can ever change that ❤️

Neither the presidential nor House popular votes were landslides or mandates and reporters should stop reporting that they were. Also, Kamala Harris outran House Democrats in votes, percentage, and margin, and reporters should stop reporting the opposite.

Don't let the current generation of data-challenged political reporters gaslight you. Trump is an unusually unpopular president at this point of his presidency. Biden's net approval rating 4 years ago tomorrow was +23. Trump's net favorable rating is -1.6.
