Team, my job is to organize D- side money, I have seen bad ideas get funded and good ideas die on vine all based on how the resources move. Follow me for inside scoops. We’ve all got to get serious about how we fund at scale the depth of work needed to get out of this hell. ✌🏼

one thing i think is true is that republicans assumed that democrats would not respond in kind and that the forceful pushback spooked them (a lesson to learn here, perhaps)
Trump's corrupt scheme to rig 2026 is suddenly falling apart:
*Court strikes down Texas GOP gerrymander
*Indiana GOP lacks votes to redraw map
*Big Dem win in Virginia could give Ds more seats

A few clips regarding the perfection of the Harris campaign. These are from focus groups of 2020 Biden voters that skipped 2024. April 2025 with Lake Research. The economic message-overwhelmingly focused on tax cuts ($289.7M in ads at the Pres level)-didn't land for this voter, even at a rally.

By the way! The basic point I make here is made in much more depth, with more quantitative rigor, in this Way to Win post. (Way to Win quite obviously has the best of this argument & yet they have trouble getting any attention or traction among MSM outlets. Odd, that. Quite odd. The oddest. Hmmm.)
JUST POSTED: Everyone Is Wrong, our response to the recent series of arguments that – based on the hypothesis that Harris lost and Dems underperformed in 2024 due to (summarizing broadly) voters’ perceptions that Dems are too far left – Democrats need to move right to win.

Sharing this again because when Way to Win surveyed people who voted for Biden in 2020 and did not vote at all in 2024, "too far to the left" wasn't their critique.
Good morning friends, here's the first writeup of our poll. We'll have more about the details we're excited about and our podcast interview with Celinda - the genius pollster we worked with - posted shortly, so stay tuned!
EXCLUSIVE: Democratic voters who skipped the 2024 election favor candidates like Bernie Sanders and AOC. Polling shows they believe inequality is at the heart of America’s problems and health care should be available to everyone.
