Glad it’s over, thrilled by the results, and, I regret to inform you: The MI Senate primary (much like the TX one) is pretty good foreshadowing for what the 2028 Democratic presidential primary is going to feel like.

🚨 Big week! 30+ Run for Something candidates are on the primary ballot across Michigan, Washington, Kansas, Virginia, and Missouri on Tuesday. Every local race is a chance to build the next generation of leadership. Proud of every RFS candidate putting in the work. 💙

Incompetence & mediocrity on all sides of this story. How can people trust this version of the DNC to be an effective facilitator of the 2028 presidential primary or prepare sufficiently to be the backbone of the Democratic nominee’s campaign? www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/u...

Great read especially if you’re interested in #leadership development, generational #management in the workplace, how to connect and work with #GenZ…I could go on. We used this book for a workplace book club and it was wildly successful. #book #booksky #summerread

I lay out the steps for a more compassionate, more human, more boundaried, and more effective style of leadership that works for YOU, in the world we actually live in today. whenwereincharge.com

Millennials will be left with the long, painful cleanup job of recreating and restoring trust and functionality in government. I was told we just had to "save the whales" and "close the ozone layer" but FINE, we'll fucking clean up this mess too. But we get to be bitter assholes about it. Right?

Trust is distinct from ideology -- and even if we win Congress, we're not going to be in a good position to win back trust. amandalitman.substack.com/p/zooming-ou...

Re: replacing Ken Martin -- I think it'd be good to prove to folks who lean D but think the party itself sucks that, as an institution, Dems no longer settle for mediocrity or incompetence. I hope DNC members see that as a selling point for pushing him out.
