Tish James said Lis Smith worked as an operative for Cuomo, ruining the lives of the women who came forward about Andrew’s alleged harassment.
Why are @democrats.org like Mallory McMorrow still working with her? This is a reflection ON THEM as CANDIDATES.

this definition of moderate just means “I think I’m right but not because I’m an ideologue”
it puts no weight on the actual belief you’re espousing. it’s all about how people react to the belief.

not enough chatter about how frequently members fly and how attacking airport capacity directly affects them in a way that cutting SNAP does not

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

yes, stopping members from traveling home is famously a sort of leverage used in these fights. what are you even trying to say?
The insinuation here is that some members might cave because they were personally inconvenienced and not like for example the fed unions getting nervous.

John Fetterman’s memoir comes out on Tuesday, so if the phone calls don’t work you can always tell him how you feel while he’s on book tour.

McMorrow posting about how she’d to stand on principle while stroking paychecks to Lis Smith lol. ok.
Americans can’t afford this deal.
Democrats can fight AND win — just like we did in our budget battle in Michigan.
A promise isn’t a deal. Don’t settle.

considering Musk owns Twitter and presumably everything he does there is, on some level, for the purpose of making money, I just cannot imagine how this video is not illegal commercial appropriation of someone’s image
Musk used Grok to animate Sydney Sweeney to make her say “you are so cringe.”
Not only does it look and sound awful, I don’t think he understands how embarrassing this is for him.
