Friends, it is once again that time of the year when I ask for your help in traveling to a DNC Meeting. From December 11th - 13th, the DNC will convene in Los Angeles! And I can tell you one thing for sure that is going to be top of mind for me - the 2028 Presidential Primary Calendar. 1/
IT: Welcome to Derry E05, 29 Neibolt Street

✅✅ Dick Hallorann still the highlight of the series + Doctor Sleep ref
✅ Pennywise freeze and retreat looks genuinely good
〰️ Tiring of the Maturin tease
❌ Waste of Neibolt tbh
❌❌ Please stop with the shaky run at camera “scares”

America’s first go at a multi party system creating some interesting results

I was at this breakfast and meeting and am the biggest RCV guy you’ll meet, but I don’t want people to get their hopes up about this being in place nationally for 2028.

A vast majority of Presidential primaries are run by states that don’t use RCV. You gotta change state laws.
Democratic politicians and activists are quietly lobbying to upend the way the party picks its presidential nominee by urging the use of ranked-choice voting.
Scoop: Democrats eye ranked-choice voting for 2028 primaries
It's a tool that drew national attention when it propelled New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to a decisive primary win.

How much sleep do I get on average? Well I actually got 8 hours last night and my phone warned me that was a major outlier.

In Houston today to pick the site of our 2028 State Convention!

The DNC Youth Council is going to elect 16 new At-Large Council Members - will you run to be one of them? If you are a young Democrat ready to get to work, we'd love to see you apply!

This is a very strong launch video for Jose Loya, a new candidate for TXGLO. I strongly recommend checking it out and giving it a watch, it did a pretty good job towards earning my vote!
My name is Jose Loya, I am a Marine Corps veteran, an oil refinery worker, and a union leader. I grew up in the Panhandle and has spent over a decade serving my country. Now I am running for Texas Land Commissioner to make sure no Texan is left behind.

This shutdown is the first time in the entire Trump administration that I have felt @democrats.senate.gov and @schumer.senate.gov rose to the occasion and met the moment we’re in. Folding now and giving up healthcare for millions when we just won a blue wave election is appalling malpractice.
Any “deal” that ends with Dems just getting a pinky promise in return is a mistake.

The American people are suffering because Republicans refuse to stop healthcare costs from skyrocketing. An agreement that doesn’t fix that reality falls massively short.

It feels to me like #atxcouncil did not have the political capital needed to marshal progressives after burning so much of it to pass the police contract that did a lot to put us into this budget mess in the first place. And thanks to the #txlege, now everything will see cuts EXCEPT for APD.

Is this the year where I find out if the red light therapy stuff really does help

To paraphrase someone, in the 2028 primary, the mainstream position is going to begin with “abolish ICE.”
"I think they haven't gone far enough," says President Trump, defending ICE raids. In one case, ICE tackled a young mother and in another tear gas was used in a residential neighborhood.

IT: Welcome to Derry E02, The Thing in the Dark

✅✅ Significantly stronger episode
✅ Better IT appearances
✅ Hanlons are great
✅ Military makes sense
✅ Excellent title sequence
❌ Andy Muschietti’s CGI always comes off rubbery
❌And he way overdoes fast-run-at-camera scares

IT: Welcome to Derry E01, The Pilot

✅✅ Big fan of the proto-Loser Ka-tet fake out
✅ Setting is solid
✅ Most IT appearances are good
➖Easter eggs are okay but a bit heavy handed
❌ Baby design doesn’t do it for me
❌ Hard to suspend disbelief about the military base assault
