El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

I encourage all of us to have the grace and focus shown in this going up within minutes of the race being called.

Agree with Tressie here, and would add there are other organizations that work with left challengers, like @justicedemocrats.com, that deserve credit for recruiting and supporting candidates like Donovan McKinney. DSA is amazing, but they’re (fortunately) not the only game in town.

Tressie McMillan Cottom@tressiemcphd.bsky.social · 6h ago

I know we are chalking the success of some leftist candidates almost entirely to the DSA. However, it seems like the more common theme is that these are candidates with organizing experience?

This is corny, but I remember when @wewill2026.bsky.social and his fellow Sunrise co-founders met in a training space to start planning a social movement organization. It’s super inspiring to see normal people like Will who believe in the people stepping into leadership. We can win.

"training in Marxist economics tends to give you a) a weird, unrealistic and largely useless theory of economics plus b) a clear understanding of how economics relates to political power. While a training in mainstream neoclassical economics only gives you the first of these."

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

The future of the Democratic Party is proportional representation. The left and centrists should have their own parties which win representation in Congress that’s equivalent to their support in the public. We deserve a better system that enables more parties—and people—to win representation.

Proportional representation, explained

With proportional representation, parties don't win before elections even begin. And they can't manipulate the system to their advantage.

Progressives won three competitive congressional primaries in Michigan despite being outspent nearly 10-1. Politico didn’t get the big election night they wanted.

Progressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted

Absolutely fucking disgusting. The GOP is the party of wife beaters, rapists, and Epstein cronies.

Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 7h ago

Mike Johnson tells Politico that he's standing behind Republican Max Miller — despite the "serious" domestic abuse allegations against him.

The left won three highly competitive congressional races in Michigan while being vastly outspent—and Politico claimed it was evidence the left is struggling.

Progressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted — POLITICO

The razor-thin margin will only deepen divisions over the future of the Democratic Party.

TAPPER: Hold on -- hold on, 'cause I'm not done with the list of women who have accused you of violence. Are all three of them lying? REP. MAX MILLER: Yes. And I'm not getting out of the race because in 2016, President Donald J Trump faced the most extreme allegations in the world ...

The U.S. Senate is about to advance the nomination of a man who has helped Trump unconstitutionally evade releasing the Epstein files, and tried to use federal funds to pay insurrectionists. If the purpose of the U.S. Senate is to defend against tyranny, it has failed in its purpose.

Donald Trump hates real America (the majority who live in cities).

Trump: "Look at the blue cities. What do they have in common? They're all dirty. They're filthy dirty. Their streets are dirty. Their streets smell. Their storefronts are broken. Their trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. It's really all of them."

The craziest thing about Fauci’s diary is that Donald Trump is illegally refusing to release further evidence that he participated in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex crimes.
