All of these supposed failures by Democrats should more rightly be attributed to the remarkable success of right wing propagandists. They have gotten very good at what they do, and the Dems need to catch up and fight fire with fire in the narrative wars.

It's such a weird situation where centrist Democrats clearly lead the party yet always blame their failures on a perceived powerful left-wing. www.semafor.com/article/10/2...

Left-wing ideas have wrecked Democrats’ brand, new report warns

The center-left group Welcome relied on polling of hundreds of thousands of voters over six months for its findings, shared first with Semafor.

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.

Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.

There is little doubt that the “Great Feminization” discourse will help (further) normalize misogyny on the right and drive women farther left. Perhaps that is actually the point.

Helen Andrews’s latest screed is short on rational facts, long on mushy feelings of misogyny.

Millions of Americans are on the brink of losing their health coverage after Congress gutted Medicaid to give ICE billions of dollars to terrorize our communities.

These cuts will fall hardest on people with disabilities, rural residents, and working families.

In the rural South where Medicaid has been a lifeline, residents brace for cuts

With Medicaid cutbacks on the horizon, millions in the U.S. are expected to go uninsured. In the Mississippi Delta region - one of the poorest places in the U.S. - people are stressed and mad.

Rep. Luna is a threat to national security.

A tweet from Michael Weiss reads: “Kirill Dmitriev hands (R.–Fla., naturally) Rep. Ana Paulina Luna a book titled, ‘Great Words of a Great Man.’ You can see the great man referred to right there on the cover. She is very excited.” The photo shows Ana Paulina Luna smiling as a man hands her a book.

A close-up image of the book cover shows text in Russian that reads “Великие слова великого человека,” which translates to “Great Words of a Great Man.” The cover features a photo of Vladimir Putin.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Cat 5 Hurricane Melissa’s sustained winds are now roaring at 175 MPH, and air pressure in her searing eye has sunk to 906 MBAR. "Storm is starting to take northern turn towards Jamaica, and if it intensifies any further, it will begin to approach mathematical limits of how strong a storm can become"

Olga Nesterova @onestpress.onestnetwork.com · 9h

From scientist Matthew Cappucci: "The NOAA aircraft that was investigating Melissa today had to leave the storm early due to "severe turbulence." Melissa is STILL intensifying.
This is extremely rare. The aircraft are BUILT for severe turbulence and extreme conditions. "Melissa is truly a monster.""

The New York Post is owned by Lachlan Murdoch, solely because his daddy bought it and passed it on to him.

And it's backing Andrew Cuomo, a meathead whose whole career in politics stems from his daddy being good at it.

But *Mamdani* is the nepo baby, because his mom was a filmmaker? Sure.

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

A tweet from Morgan J. Freeman states:
“FACT: Venezuela is NOT a major producer of cocaine.
They do not have large cocaine factories.
They do not produce fentanyl either.
What Venezuela does have is the world’s largest oil reserves.”
