I interviewed experts in Mexico about AMLO & Sheinbaum’s communications strategy, and one thing stood out: they command attention, while Biden and Harris ran from it. Daily pressers, populism, direct engagement, culture—why aren’t Democrats doing this?
Morena and Claudia Sheinbaum Have Kept Up Mexico’s Move to the Left
Incumbent parties around the world keep losing to upstart challengers. Yet Mexico’s López Obrador defied the trend, handing off his presidency to Sheinbaum. What’s their secret?

AOC: The House is governed by a Republican majority. The Senate is governed by a Republican majority, and The White House has a Republican president. And if they want to pass their agenda, Republicans need to conjure up the votes to pass their own bills.

"The Israelis shot and killed an innocent young woman and then caused the death of her unborn baby, too.

President Truman’s 1948 speech perfectly describes the Republican Party of then and now. The madness is nothing new. The Party of Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt died with them.
