Democrats seem to think the pivoting to the center makes them most electable but all it does it piss *everyone* off.
Having beliefs/a backbone and being authentic is the best way to win elections. People are fucking sick of croneyism and corporate suck ups and that is why Zohran cruised to victory

it’s not only a recipe for corruption, it’s a talent issue - we lose a ton of talented folks who would do fantastic work in public service to the private sector because of the salary delta, which most people don’t have family money to make up for
these are important jobs that should pay well

people hate hearing this but it's 100% true, creating a huge pay gap between political leaders, their staffs, and other elites is a recipe for corruption. of course the flip side of that is taxes on the rich should be jacked way the hell up
The Mayor of New York only makes $260k. I bet there are police that make more than that in NY with overtime.
We need to pay elected leaders more money and stop pretending it's some sort of calling. They're managing hundreds of billions of dollars in investments and millions of people's lives.

When Graham learned that a friend from his DnD campaign had a recurrence of cancer and would be starting chemo, he wanted to do something truly impactful — so he turned on @criticalrole.bsky.social and settled in for a platelet donation.

SCOOP: The Antisemitism Awareness Act — up for vote in Senate committee tomorrow — now has a religious liberty clause to protect ‘Jews killed Jesus’ statements by Christian conservatives.

It's been 106 days since wildfires ravaged Los Angeles County, and the state's request for $40B in federal disaster aid has stalled. A Spectrum News analysis shows that every other state that suffered a major disaster in the last 20 years has had a faster federal response:
