Two. That’s how many House Republicans Bernie is attempting to peel off from Trump and Musk’s “one big beautiful bill” that cuts Medicaid and delivers tax cuts for the rich. That’s why he’s visiting the districts of Rep. Bacon and Rep. Miller-Meeks. Similar visits to come!

The populist revolt is brewing. Huge turnout last night for Bernie in Omaha. Will probably be the same later today in Iowa City. The hubris, greed, and exploitation by the ruling class is angering the masses.

@faiz.bsky.social on Dems’ opposition strategy: “I would like to see [Democrats] get out of DC… The power right now being a working class party is out there in the country. People who are hurt… they work at Walmart, they work at McDonalds… They need to have their stories told.”

The Democratic Party’s issue isn’t rooted in policy. The party suffers from a serious problem of perception. One that some of its faithful perpetuate. And as the saying goes, perception is reality. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

With nearly every action that Trump and his billionaire co-presidents take, there's an opportunity for Democrats to transform ourselves back into a working class party. I ran in order to contribute some thoughts about how best we make that change happen: youtu.be/nkLp1ny4nIE

@faiz.bsky.social did really, really well at the #dncchair forum. He spoke with passion, vision, humor, and a deep intelligence about how you can build populist power with integrity through a commitment to listening to working people and giving them a platform, day after day after day.

@faiz.bsky.social doesn’t want to tweak the Democratic Party. He wants to completely upend it. Will they let him near the wheel? I spoke to this late entrant into the race to run the DNC. the.ink/p/hard-truth...

While @faiz.bsky.social has been openly critical of the Democratic Party, he makes two things clear – he's a Democrat and his criticism is “out of love” as he explains why he jumped into the race for DNC Chair.

NEW POD: • Trump pardons January 6 rioters, calling attacks “minor incidents” on Hannity, saying it’s “too cumbersome” to review cases. • Jon & Dan react to the pardons, Trump’s executive orders, cabinet picks, and Democrats’ response. • Dan interviews Faiz Shakir on his DNC Chair bid.

The popular myth is that the DNC are the puppet-masters of Democratic politics. It's really an organization that's out of ideas, just a sandbox for get-togethers. @faiz.bsky.social would like it to practice politics instead of self-regard. prospect.org/politics/202...

It has been observed before, and I agree, that “we can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both.” A party of democracy has to open its doors and make membership more than just giving an online donation

I am proud to endorse Faiz Shakir (@faiz.bsky.social) as Chair of the Democratic National Committee. Faiz not only has the right working class credibility, vision, and insight for this moment, but he also has the vast experience needed to operate and rebuild the DNC. 1/2

Today, @joy.msnbc.com interviewed @faiz.bsky.social. I'm inspired! Faiz proposes creating a grassroots-driven media ecosystem to bypass reliance on consultants & TV ads, including direct-to-consumer channels amplifying Democratic messaging through community-driven content & worker-led narratives. 🫶💪

This @samsteindc.bsky.social interview with @faiz.bsky.social is pretty great. He's talking about implementing the civic spaces idea that everyone was talking about a couple months ago and building a Democratic media machine. Very good stuff.

It's late in the DNC race, but no votes have been cast yet. I'm jumping in because I believe I have the conviction and track record to re-envision how the organization operates to fight the corruption of the ruling class. medium.com/@fshakir/why...

Faiz Shakir explains his theory that the reason co-President Musk suddenly had a problem with the spending bill is that he wanted to deal with the debt limit in Biden's term so they can avoid accountability for Trump's massive spending and tax cuts in the new term. Watch: youtu.be/SfcDitC1cJw?...
