I just got this text at the same time that Democrats decided to give up on fighting against defunding NPR (which the rescissions package does). Spamming people to raise money while they roll over is probably hurting Democrats more than they think.

If they asked the right questions, the answer would be that everyone in Democratic Party leadership should step down. That’s what happens in most countries when a party loses. Autopsies won’t fix the Democratic Party. Only primary challenges will.

A big reason Zohran won was he pushed for strong universal programs while ALSO talking about counterproductive red tape and bureaucracy (see his halal cart video or his video on small business fees). These issues are real challenges people face, and progressives shouldn’t be

Kate Willett Zohran backed City of Yes, the housing plan backed by Yimbys there. Omar Fateh, the progressive who may be the next mayor of Minneapolis, backed Minneapolis 2040, the housing plan backed by Yimbys there. It’s possible to agree with Yimbys while still being committed to universal

This is a bill Democrats had the power to stop. But 18 Senate Democrats and over 100 House Democrats, including my opponent Nancy Pelosi, joined Republicans to vote for it because this was a crypto industry priority. Nancy Pelosi just enabled Trump’s corruption.

Democrats including Nancy Pelosi just voted with Republicans to pass the GENIUS Act, which specifically does not prohibit Trump from profiting off of stablecoins, a type of cryptocurrency. This is especially egregious when Trump is already using his position as President to

Day after day after day, starving Palestinians trying to get food are slaughtered by Israeli troops. Then Israel announces some fake investigation that never leads to accountability or changes, and the dumbest people on this website blame anyone but the people in charge.

She has one of the strongest pro-Palestinian voting records in Congress. It’s fair to debate strategy and disagreement over specific choices--but vandalizing her office and saying Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez “funds genocide” isn’t just wrong. It’s reckless, dishonest, misleading, and deeply unserious.

American taxpayers are paying for this. There is absolutely no argument to continue funding this. This is not war. This is a genocide.

We need new leaders in the Democratic party who will support working class policies. Which is why I am running on universal healthcare, addressing the affordability crisis, and implementing a wealth tax on the rich.

NEW: I spoke to Saikat Chakrabarti for Congress - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s former chief of staff - about his quest to unseat Nancy Pelosi from CA’s 11th district. We talk “abundance,” why Big Tech moved right, Pelosi’s self dealing, how defeating her is even electorally possible and more. Link in next tweet👇👇👇👇

Getting rid of big money in politics is OVERWHELMINGLY popular. Nearly three quarters of Americans, including Republicans, believe this. We can absolutely get this done if we have candidates willing to fight for it.
