When we embrace the primary process, we embrace democracy. We trust voters and ourselves to chart our own path. We give candidates a chance to build organizations that allow them to win in the general election.
Then we unite and go WIN!

Something every 2026/28 Dem should commit to is investigations of any company that did deals with Trump. A kind of forward guidance to get companies to think twice in advance of what’s coming.
Fox News will applaud this but can you imagine their coverage if President Biden hatched a secret plan to take over Fox News and revamp its programming to be nicer to him
New WSJ reporting: "During a December visit to Washington, David Ellison offered assurances to Trump administration officials that if he bought Warner, he'd make sweeping changes to CNN, a common target of President Trump's ire, people familiar with the matter said..."

All of these new rulings don’t just affect today, they rewrite precedent. Trump still has three years left, and whatever expanded powers the Court hands him now will automatically pass to the next president as well.

This has largely been memory-holed but in Trump 1.0, he picked a big public trade fight with China. They retaliated by cutting off agriculture purchases, farmers got squeezed, Trump mailed them checks and had to go crawling back to Xi for a face-saving "deal".
Sound familiar?

Twenty years ago, the Court upheld party coordination limits—and we're urging them to do it again.

it is actually kind of bananas how unitary executive theorists have taken a straightforward clause requiring the president to "faithfully execute the laws" and transformed it into a grant for the exercise of limitless unenumerated power.
The Take Care Clause was a byproduct of the lessons learned from the Glorious Revolution that the executive should not be able to dispense with the law promulgated by the legislature. It was not a constitutional provision to empower the executive branch— but to constrain it!

Rules like the coordination limit between political parties and candidates exist to guard against corruption and the appearance of corruption. This anti-corruption guardrail could be at risk in the NRSC v. FEC SCOTUS case, as @paulblumenthal.bsky.social reports for @huffpost.com 👇
SCOTUS will hear arguments today to decide whether or not to strike down party coordination limits.
The court's recent history on campaign finance has been marked by a naivety (willful blindness?) to the impact of these decisions. What could go wrong this time?
