INDIVISIBLE: We hope to celebrate the Democratic Party for fighting back. But if they surrender, the next step is primaries and new leadership. We get the party we demand, and we intend to demand one that fights.
Oh hell yeah.

Amazingly thoughtful. This is the way. And by the way …
Senate Dems: Do not obey in advance. Do not bend a knee. Do not surrender now. Do not snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Reeps: F*ck all the way off. And release the files, you disgusting pedo protectors.

Spanberger’s GOP foe spent 57% of her ad budget on anti-trans attacks. Spanberger focused on the economy. You see what won. trib.al/g2oCPbB
The truth told time and time again in the polls: The public doesn’t care about trans issues. Voters care deeply about the economy, inflation, & prices.

AI researchers claim there’s “definitive” proof the Health Secretary and his team used AI to write his MAHA report.
Some of the 522 scientific references in the report include the phrase “OAIcite” in their URLs—a marker indicating the use of OpenAI.

I'll never be a scold about the gambling flow that animates the lower reaches of the market. It's always been there, is closer to how Wall St. started than platitudes about capital formation. But it's been pretty frisky lately. At some point the mob will overplay its hand, with broader implications.

Two of many important observations from an in-depth polling analysis:
“America has an anti-MAGA majority, but not necessarily a pro-Democratic one.”
“Democracy is not a spectator sport.”
