If you're wondering whether Dems learned anything about the wisdom of associating w/ Liz Cheney, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries sat down with her this week to talk about democracy.
"The thing I've always appreciated about Liz," Jeffries says, is that "we love the House of Representatives."

Ok one upside to revamping this chapter is having an excellent excuse to swap out one of the illustrations for one that includes Henry VIII in a turban as King David.

Just insane that the left treated the tech industry with increasing hostility just because they undermined organized labor, flouted the regulatory state, and bragged that they were going to get rid of everybody's jobs for a decade straight.

So refreshing. Social media is Social again
Honestly the discourse on here is so much better than Twitter. I tossed off a take, people came in to correct me, we had a conversation, and folks were willing to give me grace about the stuff I admitted I got wrong!

I am such a believer in this. Down-ballot is the way.
It’s also how we build a sustainable future of good leaders and infrastructure to elect and support them, as well as the movements they represent.
We don’t just need strong candidates. We need strong organizers, managers, CoS, grassroots, etc.

I’ve been organizing in rural areas since the first Trump administration. Rural Dems can make the difference in races at the top of the ticket.
Republicans have all of the electorate they’re ever going to have. Organize to turn out 5% to 10% more Dems in rural spaces. Watch what happens…

"Anyway, the resultant petition has.. been pushed by public figures ranging from Elon Musk to Michael Caine. Fine. The Jaws film where the shark genuinely follows the Brody family all the way to the Bahamas is no longer the stupidest thing Michael’s done."
Elon Musk and a mass petition want a new UK election. Shall we do that – or just stick to democracy? | Marina Hyde
I know many are aggrieved with Starmer and co, but scrapping a government for Elon and a Shropshire publican seems like a stretch, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde
