Electorally, they're irrelevant.
From a propaganda standpoint, they're spreading incredible amounts of disinfo that spreads to the broader electorate.

I find the online infighting over “leftists” funny.
They’re functionally electorally irrelevant.
I really don’t care if all 100,000 people in the DSA refuse to vote for D over JD Vance, they’re just not enough people nationally to actually matter.

My Candid Conversations Tour continued this morning with visits to four wonderful small businesses in Gorham.
Maine’s small businesses are the backbone of our economy — and I’m running to fight for them and stand up to Donald Trump’s policies that continue to threaten them.

Secretary Noem has not appeared before our committee since last year.
That was before her agents killed Renée Good and Alex Pretti. Before Greg Bovino terrorized my constituents during Operation Midway Blitz. Before a 5-year-old boy was used as bait.
So where is she today?

Black history is American history.
Dr. David Satcher served as both CDC Director and U.S. Surgeon General, one of the few people to hold both roles.
He elevates mental health, racial health disparities, and prevention as national priorities, pushing public health beyond disease control to well-being and equity.

I’m thankful for the proud Americans on this jury for upholding the rule of law and refusing to indict my fellow Senators Kelly and Slotkin.
But I’m still immensely concerned.
As we have seen in other cases meant to punish Trump’s enemies, his Justice Department will try again.

You can't lead a party you despise is my honest & boring opinion.
I never particularly liked Sanders because I find him grating and I think class first socialism is a bad way of looking at the world to begin with, but man you just can't look at this site in particular and conclude that his political career has been anything other than an enormous net negative.

DMFI is left of AIPAC and right of J Street, but even they were calling out the new settlements in the West Bank. But then, Track AIPAC has never been against AIPAC or Israel, they're against Jews. (Which is too bad, because AIPAC is actually really bad.)

OK, claiming property rights in a new term (I think). I just did a Substack live with Catherine Rampell, in which she suggested that young men may be pivoting from Bitcoin to prediction markets. And it just popped into my head: the Testosterone Trade.

I would argue the opposite, not based on data, but accountability.
Maybe some Trump voters never supported Trumpism as reflected in poll data, but a vote for Trump is the ultimate "support" for Trumpism.
If you voted for Trump, you support "Trumpism" regardless of what that means to you.

The Trump administration’s attempt to indict six Democratic lawmakers was an outrageous abuse of power and perhaps its most brazen attack on freedom of speech so far.
A grand jury has refused to indict Democratic lawmakers in connection with a video in which they urged military members to resist “illegal orders.”
