Worth noting for organizers looking to replicate Zohran’s victory:
Two structural things that he might not have won without —
1. Robust publicly financed elections
2. Ranked choice primary elections
These structural reforms massively help underdog candidates and make democracy more real.

I appreciate @punchbowlnews.bsky.social noting something that's objectively true and necessary context, but routinely elided over:
The House GOP is not away because of the shutdown, but to avoid taking a vote on releasing info about a notorious pedophile because that info implicates Trump.

👀 “The Ghost House”: Eye opening report from @punchbowlnews.bsky.social this am on how Mike Johnson has turned the House into a joke under Republican rule. He has turned House Republican leaders into Trump White House’s poodles (if you catch my drift) covering up for #EpsteinFiles.

Unprecedented corruption
Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

BREAKING NEWS: I just filed an amendment on the Senate Floor to REQUIRE the Attorney General to release the Epstein files.
Republicans will HAVE TO vote on it. We’re going to keep fighting until these files are released.

Child mortality used to be 50%. As recently as 1950, 25% of children died globally. Now it’s 4% globally, and 0.3% in some rich countries. A large part of that is better public health and vaccines.

We cut child poverty in half with the child tax credit in the American Rescue Plan. We know it worked. We could have made it permanent for about half the cost of Trump’s tax cuts for the rich.
