Congratulations to Monica Matteo-Salinas for winning the Miami Beach City Commission, Group 1 seat. Her victory ensures that Democrats maintain a hard-fought majority on the Commission, capable of governing Miami Beach effectively and responsibly!

Big, big day in specials tomorrow. Dems have a chance to flip the Miami Mayoral office and a state House seat in Georgia. We’re also defending a close-ish state House seat in FL and the Mayoral office in Albuquerque.
Get ready for a fun one tomorrow!

And also they’re aiming for an upset flip in the state House in Georgia.

This is very, very well said. And I think boils down well what 2028 is going to be, or at least a big part of it:
- What have you done over the last 4 years to push back?
- What's your plan to rebuild?
- What's your plan for retribution?
- What have you done over the last 4 years to push back?
- What's your plan to rebuild?
- What's your plan for retribution?
Yeah, a big chunk of 2028, not the entire ballgame but a big chunk, is going to be "what did you do for us in the past four years?" and nobody's gonna get to do the surprised pikachu face if the folks with good answers to that question have an early leg up

I’ve pretty much decided that the best thing for me over the next few years is to just block people that are going to shit on potential Dem presidential candidates.
Centrists on AOC, Lefties on Newsom, whoever on Shapiro, don’t care.
2028 is the ballgame. Get serious or keep shit to yourself.

Fully agree with my pal @purrtah.bsky.social. Feel how you will about Josh Shapiro. This is a win/win for everybody. If he and his team help orchestrate a big midterm in PA, he puts himself in a strong potential position for 2028.
