This era of mass grift—driven by one of the most corrupt administrations in American history—isn’t just a crisis. It’s a massive opportunity for the Democratic Party to lead an unapologetic, system-wide anti-corruption campaign.

The problem isn't that the Democratic Party just can't figure out the magic political strategy to win every time to save democracy. The problem is that our political system is wildly outdated, unrepresentative and isn't capable of sustaining democracy.

I just sent Cory Booker money. I will send money to anyone who fights, and I will not send money to anyone who cowers in fear. That has to be the situation, for all of us.

DOGE appears to be trying to steal the USIP building for itself. This kind of looting is straight out of Moscow in the 2000s.

this is actually absurd: Randy Mastro, the new first deputy mayor of NYC for Eric Adams is still representing New Jersey’s anti-congestion pricing lawsuit on the side. this is the ultimate conflict of interest

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

My legal bills as a nonparty will top $2 million before Cuomo’s legal abuse is over. “I’ve spent roughly $1.5 million on lawyers so far…a figure that doesn’t include “hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of trauma therapy.” @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Other people are still at "is it a constitutional crisis yet?" and I'm at "the crisis was several exits ago, the car has crashed, we're now just seeing how many cars end up in the pileup and how high the casualty count is" or "the house is actively burning down, the question is what's left after."

When AOC and Adam Kinzinger are both furious at Chuck Schumer, for the exact same reason, maybe you need to give up the idea this is just a backlash coming from far left activists.

NEWS: We polled our locals yesterday before Schumer's surrender asking what they would do to hold accountable Senate Dems who cave on the GOP bill. 67% said they'd show up at town halls or public events to express their anger. 78% said they'd support primary challenges. We'll see where this goes.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.
