PSA: Reddit AMA's can be so valuable for some political campaigns. And absolute disasters for others. The hard part isn't running one. It's knowing whether or not you should.

Donald Trump endorsed Mike Lindell (MyPillow guy) for MN gov. The Downballot nailed the headline. www.the-downballot.com/p/morning-digest-nations-no-2-election cc: @davidnir.com / @jeffsinger.bsky.social

lol This is the Republican frontrunner for WI CD-7 (to replace Tom Tiffany). He's Sean Duffy's son-in-law and has been endorsed by Donald Trump. And he would really like credit for... checks notes... showing up personally to a Dairy Breakfast. "I personally, not a surrogate.

As always, our party should spend more time listening to @anatosaurus.bsky.social. Full piece here: anatosaurus.substack.com/p/turn-out-f...

A few years back, my wife and I bought a pride flag from a small business focused on putting more goodness into the world. Everything about their business was intentional. But our order arrived in a Uline box. >>>

Happening now in a packed room at @netrootsnation.bsky.social: “Wins Are Replicable: From Mamdani to Minnesota to Middle America” with @anatosaurus.bsky.social, @jlemonsk.bsky.social, @heyansa.bsky.social and Gabriella Zutrau

Digital strategy is for engagement and fundraising. It is not the only thing that wins. But candidates should prioritize Bluesky over other text-based platforms if they’re serious about digital strategy. Here’s a 45-minute convo I had with @jlemonsk.bsky.social about this: youtu.be/XOfkMBMpw3s?...

Voters are asking ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok about candidates. Most campaigns have no idea what those answers say about them. And even fewer know how to influence them. >>>

One reason I hate death penalty cases is that capital punishment is incredibly stupid and irrational. It's cruel, expensive, and serves no deterrent effect. It's rarely imposed, except against a tiny minority of unlucky defendants—and in those cases, racism almost always plays a role. Just end it.

Just scrolling the DNC autoposy... man that's a lot of red mark-ups. Hoo boy.

Quite a salient point from @danpfeiffer.bsky.social here!

Another huge win last night. 😊 Worked with an awesome candidate in Pennsylvania. We were waaaay outspent. We were also running against the establishment. We won by 15 points. LFG!

Republican consultants are using AI daily at nearly twice the rate of Democrats. “Every day that we are not adopting this stuff, the other side is moving faster. And I think ultimately that’s going to translate into votes.”

How tarnished is the DNC brand these days? The DLCC is actively distancing itself. SL: We’re not the DNC.

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

Good content matters. No question. But if there's no conviction behind it, the best content in the world falls flat. Every time. You can play a fighter on the internet. But if you cave on every vote, people notice.

So is InfoWars talking to Stephen Colbert about bringing the OG into the fold? 🤞 cc: @bencollins.bsky.social

Serious question: why would Ken Martin request that interview? He clearly didn't want to answer the most obvious question he was there to answer. Wouldn't he have been better off doing... anything else with his time?

"It doesn't matter if Democratic senators or members of Congress put out TikTok videos or bring influencers for special hearings. Ultimately, if it's not in their bones that they want to fight with everything they have, the people will see right through it."

Texas redistricts without a vote, Republicans cheer. Dems in Virginia respond by putting it UP FOR A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE, it passes, Republican cry foul. Oh well. Good job Virginia!!

Dear god. Very, very serious allegations of mass civil rights violations at the State of Florida's Everglades immigration detention center (officially known as "Alligator Alcatraz").

April 2: guards cut all phone access in the housing units without warning. When detainees protested, CRS officers allegedly punched a man, threw another to the ground, kicked him in the head, and pinned him by the neck. A third detainee's wrist was broken. The entire cage was pepper-sprayed.
