I will probably never run for office. But on the off chance I lose all my senses in two years this would be pretty close to my economic platform. Probably sprinkle in some of Teddy’s trust busting, too.

Well there it is! With all precincts reporting, Dem James Malone beats Republican Josh Parsons 50-49 to flip Pennsylvania's ultra-ancestrally GOP #SD26! That shrinks the GOP margin in the Senate to 27-23 and is a 16-point overperformance compared to 2024. Our Big Board -->

Just a reminder local elections are just as important as midterms or presidential. Turnout averages 10%. Upsetting when school boards, city councils, and townships are on the line which directly impact your life.

It’s high time Democrats stopped listening to think tanks and started listening to constituents. End the oligarchy and defend the working class, or face oblivion

Hey DOGE there’s a pretty high up government employee who wastes time rage-tweeting on the can, making violent threats against foreign nations, and spending millions a week on golf trips. Recommend we remove this individual ASAP.
Call me, Elon. Let’s get efficient.

Maybe instead of alienating the progressives, #Democrats should try running a moderate AND a #progressive on the ticket in 2028. Give this whole “big tent” and unity thing a shot.
Call me, DNC. I have ideas.

You know, I don’t think I’d be as pissed at Schumer and the other 9 Dems for passing the CR if they hadn’t said a few days prior that they would vote against it. Either they have spines of jellyfish or they were paid off.
Probably both.

We’re witnessing the deconstruction and reinvention of the Democratic Party in a way that hasn’t been seen since the New Deal. For 20 years this has been in the making. Now is the time to reverse the slow walk through neoliberalism and push forward with progressivism.

On Tuesday night, co-presidents Trump and Musk fired half of the workers at the Education Department.
On Wednesday, FAFSA - the financial aid application for millions of kids who want to go to college - went down.
That’s their idea of efficiency.

How Education Department layoffs hit student loans, testing, civil rights
The layoffs call into question how agency will be able to handle major operations such as student loans, FAFSA, the Nation’s Report Card and civil rights complaints.

This is the final nail in the coffin for establishment #neoliberal #Dems. They had one chance to prove to voters and supporters they were capable of resisting Trump and the GOP.
They failed.

The era of #Neoliberalism is over. Republicans learned this in 2010 and it’s high time the #Democrats did too. We are at an inflection point. Either we embrace #progressive ideals and stand up to the oligarchs for the common person or we continue losing and go the way of the Whigs.

The hand has five fingers, capable and powerful, with the ability to destroy as well as create. We have the power to stop and reverse the tides of time by making our awareness of abuse known to the powers of industry and their uncouth political arms.
