I think if this keeps up the Senate might be in play. And frankly I think we should respect red state voters enough to give them an alternative to this shit show.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Everyone should be crystal clear about what is happening here. Trump is disobeying a unanimous ruling from the Supreme Court to help pave the way for sending U.S. citizens to an El Salvadorian gulag without due process or recourse

Wise words

The federal government doesn’t ‘give’ money to Harvard. The $2.2 billion in frozen payments isn’t for Harvard sophomores’ tuition or library books. The US government is buying services from Harvard: scientific & medical research & development. These aren’t ‘woke donations.’

The Democratic Party has a decision to make: is it the party of David Hogg, Walz, and AOC, or Ritchie Torres, Josh Shapiro, and Wes Moore. The latter will win Dems strong majorities. The former will keep us in a MAGA nightmare for a generation.

I got to write a piece with my dad on making it easier to build in California. calmatters.org/commentary/202…

This is a thoughtful take. Democrats should listen.

This is your daily reminder that Republicans are planning to gut Medicaid, Medicare and SNAP to hand tax breaks to billionaires. Don’t get distracted. Help me spread the word.

For all the talk of Dem SEN opportunities in NC, TX and even IA, the red lights are really blaring in MAINE, where Morning Consult polling shows Trump underwater by 17 pts. SEN. Collins at -16. And yet NO serious Dem is taking the plunge to challenge her.

The City of Los Angeles could largely solve its $1 billion budget shortfall by allowing more homes to be built near its transit stations, according to a report out today from Streets For All, an LA-based safe streets and land use advocacy organization.

A nice look from Pew at mid-decade redistricting since the 1970s (tl;dr - incredibly rare outside a court order). pewresearch.org/short-reads/20…

🧵 Something folks are missing here: this raid wasn’t about “illegals taking American jobs.” It was about ICE storming the Hyundai–LG battery plant in Georgia, part of a $7.6B Metaplant project that isn’t even operational yet. They dragged out more than 300 South Korean

FFS, how did people suddenly decide that assassinations were something we did again? Whitmer, Paul Pelosi, Trump, the UnitedHealthcare CEO, the MN state legislators, now Charlie Kirk. So freaking sick of this era already.

An open forum for political dialogue and disagreement was upended by a horrific act of targeted violence. In America, we don’t settle our differences with violence or at gunpoint. I’m praying for Charlie, his family, and his young children.

Democrats’ path to flipping the House in 2026 and putting a check on Republicans’ MAGA agenda runs through California. Join our efforts to pass Prop 50—CA’s redistricting ballot initiative—and ensure Trump's power grab fails. swingleft.org/ca

Most Republicans are good people. Most Democrats are good people. The White House says outrageous things to make you hate your neighbor. Your neighbor isn’t the problem. The White House is.
