1/🧵 Following up on our study featured in NYT today, this figure provides a macro-level view: Dem vote shares rise with turnout parity (left) but fall with party-level ideological moderation (right). This suggests mobilizing base voters > persuading swing voters by moving to the center.

Nancy Pelosi, Tim Ryan, Connor Lamb, and AOC on one side and John Fetterman and Chuck Schumer on the other show the new battle axis for the Democratic Party. It’s no longer progressive vs. moderate, it’s those who know ball vs those who don’t.

The Democratic Party’s problems are not about being moderate or left. That’s a consultant and pundit red herring The problems are in party organization, the culture of “it’s their turn” nominations, candidate recruitment, gerontocracy, inability to shape media topics, and coming off hella lame

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

Joy Reid, Katie Phang, Alex Wagner, Ayman Mohyeldin, Lester Holt. (and Tiffany Cross and Mehdi Hasan) What do they all have in common besides being fired from NBC/MSNBC? They are people of color and they have been critical of Israel.

Since Trump has claimed Elon doesn’t run DOGE, we wanted to make sure you know who is running our government. This list has been updated with 15 names.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

The leaders of the Democratic Party clearly cannot read the room right now. So new leadership should be demanded.

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

"The Palestinians, after suffering tens of thousands of deaths ........and the destruction of countless homes, schools, mosques...would, it appears, have nothing to say about any of this and would be sent elsewhere. It hardly seemed to matter to Trump that such a policy represents ethnic cleansing."
