The reason conservatives are talking about child care fraud so much is that they’re going to use this as justification to stop NY/Mamdani from enacting universal child care.

My conspiracy is that Jasmine Crockett is the Democratic establishment’s plant to be a counterweight to AOC. A young, fiery politician who is ALSO loyal to the corporations, Israel lobby, etc.

James Talerico is to the left of Jasmine Crockett. Her record on supporting Israel’s genocide is horrible.

Newsom will be the Cuomo of the 2028 Primary
Newsom: "I give Jeffries and Schumer tremendous credit. They've galvanized people of all political stripes -- rural, urban, suburban -- on the issue that defines so many problems in so many ways, and that's healthcare, and the anxiety people are about to feel with 100% to 388% increase in premiums."

Canadian multimillionaire and Shark Tank guy Kevin O'Leary went on TV to say he's upset Zohran won't talk to him: "I and others who invest in real estate have tried to get a meeting to figure out what's rhetoric and what's policy. So far for me it's been crickets."

Axios tried to bust James Talarico for following adult content creators on Instagram and I'm genuinely impressed by his campaign's response

“Non-college educated voters” is a way the media and political establishment frames working class people as dumb rather than admit that lower-income voters don’t want to support the establishment.
“Lower-income voters” would completely reframe the narrative around populist movements.

Abigail Spanberger didn’t win because she was a good candidate, she won because the GOP is failing. Her refusal to endorse a repeal of Virginia’s Right-to-Work law is frankly embarrassing and shows how out of touch the mainstream of the Democratic Party is with working people.

The ADL has decided to treat fascists as allies and progressives as enemies. For a group that is tasked with protecting American Jews, that is a world historic fuck up.
I will never forgive these people for their moral decrepitude.

A thing that frustrates me about the whole “progressives can’t win” argument is people forget Obama ran a progressive campaign in 2008 that got Democrats a (very brief) supermajority.
Campaign was anti-war, pro-union, populist, grassroots, & led by youth + BIPOC. Then he GOVERNED from the center.

The “Deciding to Win” report makes a big deal on how unpopular left-wing policies allegedly are with the average voter, but conveniently leaves out Gaza.
Only time Israel is mentioned is once in a footnote. I’d like to see their polling on that instead of the NOTHING TO SEE HERE postering.

Janet Mills opposes eliminating the filibuster- are you kidding? Who actually WANTS to keep a system where you can read Dr. Seuss books just to stall bills?
Without the filibuster, we would have passed The John Lewis Voting Rights Act by now.
Support Graham Platner for Senate in Maine instead.

Gonna be real… I’m pissed at Kamala Harris and I think her book tour has been incredibly disappointing. She put her loyalty to Biden, Zionism, and the DNC above her loyalty to the country and has shown zero accountability.
