Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

This is 🎯. The primaries of 2026 will not be easily defined by progressive vs moderate - they’ll be shaped by things like tone & style; fight vs decorum, & I strongly suspect, generational lines.

My very strong suspicion is that the left/right axis and the fight/don't-fight axis are in the process of unlinking, and that the fight/don't-fight split is emerging as the core struggle in the Democratic Party.
