As a District resident, it’s really hard to articulate just how morally offensive this is.
These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws.
Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired.
They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

It's kind of an unspoken rule of the universe that the people who do the hard things keep getting to do the hard things & vice versa, the corollary to that is that if you show any strain from doing all the hard things you're "difficult"

Of course. The US can't build anything on time and on budget.

Maryland officials have more than doubled the estimated cost to replace Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge, which collapsed and killed six construction workers last year after a massive container ship crashed into it.

I didn't think Raskin was stupid enough to think that the enemy of his enemy is his friend, but maybe I was wrong.
You can work with non-allies transactionally; you don't need to welcome them into your team.

Buttigieg largely interpreted the queer left's rejection of him in the 2020 primary as a rejection of his identity as a gay white man--i.e. he wasn't "queer enough" or "oppressed enough" to represent queer people--when queer people as a population are just to his left politically

This is could well be a historic midterm for Democrats.
Don’t waste it on centrists who won’t come through when it matters. Run vocal progressives.
You won’t end Trumpism without anti-corruption crusaders and warriors for social and economic justice who believe in taxes & big, universal programs.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

Exactly! If Democrats need to focus on affordability, just ... focus on affordability. Don't constantly give lectures about how other people with the exact same job as you need to do it differently.
Step aside from even the content. Why are you advising on messaging- just deliver the message. Reminds me of Newsom saying he doesn't know what the Dem party stands for on his podcast. Motherfucker you are the dem party!
