@katmabu.bsky.social REALLY hates call time y'all.
She's running one of the most innovative digital (and field) programs of the cycle imho. One of those innovations — replacing call time with livestreams.
And it's working!

Wow. Newsom and his team have been crushing it on TikTok, getting "more views and engagement than that of Mamdani, who has been widely heralded as a social media savant."

I met Mark Kendall and Bill Worley at Netroots this year and was super excited to invite them on the pod.
They’re doing something very unique in our space — using comedy, intentionally, to win hearts and change minds.

Kat Abughazaleh is running for Congress in Illinois’ 9th District.
I personally think she’s running one of the most innovative campaigns of the cycle, both from a digital and from a field perspective.

The platform generating the most clicks online probably isn't the one you'd expect. Or at least, it wasn't the one I expected!

What do Mission Impossible, black-ish, and Stacey Abrams have in common?
They all turned to Garima Verma to help craft a digital strategy.
Garima’s experience is wild—in Hollywood, in politics, and now in consulting.

If you know me and my work, you know I have a very different approach to Facebook Ads than most people in our industry.
I just gave a virtual session at Netroots called "We're Thinking About Facebook Ads Wrong." >>>

You’re not a superhero, you’re a megaphone.
That’s the message I give every campaign I work with. It’s a hard truth for some to hear: no one cares about you — they care about themselves. >>>

We’re Thinking About Facebook Ads Wrong.
I’m doing a virtual session with @netrootsnation.bsky.social about how campaigns can get smarter—and more strategic—using Meta ads.
I’ve used FB ads to help some great candidates win their elections, and I’ll be sharing some of the lessons I’ve learned alon

Forget chasing a “Joe Rogan of the left.” It’s a distraction. What our party really needs is to connect with people already building large audiences—and living their values.

🚨 New ep!
I sat down with RC Di Mezzo to break down how he helped build the digital juggernaut that is Courier Newsroom.
We talk:
⚡️ What’s working in digital right now
📈 Their fastest-growing channel (spoiler: it’s not what you’d expect!)
🧠 How small teams can punch way above their weight

RON Pac (the Super PAC of DeSantis) just shared this email.
It's terrible. Let's discuss.
First of all, the Ron tweet it screenshots isn't even well written.
"I highly doubt that if this was even said that it was anything other than a joke."
What?!

I once signed up for a Republican governor candidate’s email list — cause that’s how I roll!
He wound up selling my email to a conservative outlet… who ended up backing his primary opponent.
Womp womp!
How’d I know? I used a simple Gmail trick to track it.

If you're involved in progressive advocacy or Democratic campaigns, you're likely familiar with @anatosaurus.bsky.social. She works to ensure our movement's words align with our values.
She stopped by the pod and we had a jam-packed conversation about the what, how, and why of Free America.
