HELP! I'm being inspired against my own will! I'm feeling seen! I'm uncovering hope under layers of cynicsm! Who is this spokesperson for a self-reflective party that is committing to fight back, and what does he think he's doing??
Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

100% agree. Got a firsthand look of his leadership as a volunteer for the Wisconsin Dems. If there’s anyone that can organize on a grass level in Midwestern states it’s Ben Wikler

💯

Over the last 5 years, Ben has built a permanent campaign in WI. 2024 brought a 6% shift nationally towards Trump. In Wisconsin, it was only 1.5% -- the smallest of any swing state!!

I first worked with Ben in 2009 and have been lucky to call him a close friend ever since. He's principled, strategic, a brilliant communicator, and deeply cares about our country. He's exactly the leader the Democratic party needs right now.
If we’re going to take on Trump, Republican extremists, and move our country forward, the Democratic Party needs to be stronger. I'm running for Chair of the Democratic National Committee to unite the party, fight everywhere, and win. Join me. 🧵
Unite. Fight. Win.

I canvassed in the Adam Gray race on Sunday before E Day. It's currently at literally 50.0-50.0!! Support ballot curing so (a) I can say my door knocking flipped a house seat and (b) we can keep the GOP majority to literally the slimmest of margins.
"Ballot curing"—where you reach out to folks who made minor errors on their absentee ballot envelopes, like leaving a digit off of a zip code—ensures that legit votes aren't tossed. And right now, it could flip two US House seats in California. Chip in to help: secure.actblue.com/donate/chris...

The first critical election of the new Trump era is just 132 days from now: Wisconsin’s state Supreme Court race. 🧵

No one better than @benwikler.bsky.social 🤩
Good news: Ben Wikler is seriously considering a run for DNC chair, a source familiar with his thinking tells me.

(confirming Natasha Korecki tweet)

Ben would be a great DNC chair: Fully committed to deep organizing and avoids the pitfalls of factional squabbles and finger-pointing.

At Marshall Ganz book talk. "We need a kind of vigor in political organization that is not owned by candidates. What I learned from Obama is that the candidate cannot own the organization.... 1/2

Among the saddest things about this is that last time it happened—and it did happen, almost immediately—Trump deported a bunch of adoptees whose parents thought adoption gave them citizenship. It didn’t.

Three fun facts I just learned about Blue Sky that foreshadow Blue Sky being the app to dethrone X. Well done to the writers of the current season of our timeline; you're doing HBO's Silicon Valley proud.
