Unpinning my 9 year-oold tweet with over 20M interactions to pin this one.
I think Democratic voters should support the candidate who they think best promotes the issues important to them. I think trying to game the bigotry of other people is to effectively enable that bigotry. We shouldn't *not* vote for someone because of their identity.

Obviously the word "trade" is doing a lot of work here. Otherwise it's a complete waste of time.
BREAKING: Leader @hakeemjeffries announces Democrats will immediately bring forward a bill to BAN members of Congress from trading stocks:

“There’s a cost to corruption...

That’s why I strongly support banning members of Congress from being able to trade stock.”

Colom candor is a hell of a good thing.
At least @Timodc is admitting he didn't believe in Mississippi, tho he didn't down talk Scott. These progressives pundits trashed him or pretended like he didn't exist, and they are now pretending like they love him.

This isn't a Hakeem Jeffries post but it could pertain to him. If Congress is going to address the cost of living, I would like to see whay exactly it will do besides roll back Trump items (ACA tax breaks, war and tariffs). The affordability crisis began before 2025.

In Mississippi, President Biden’s Investing in America agenda is bringing significant public investments in infrastructure, clean energy, and manufacturing, revitalizing rural communities by modernizing roads, bridges, transit systems, and airports.

What’s moderate, if you’re a Democrat, is to have progressive views on some issues rather than progressive views on all issues.

This seems really obvious?
“it’s a moderate position to make fighting billionaires and taking on corporate power central to your campaign!”

Big: Kris Kobach, the Kansas attorney general, one of the country’s most notorious far-right figures who charted the way for Trump’s election denialism well before Trump got to it, has lost his reelection bid.

Democrat Chris Mann will be new Kansas attorney general, AP

The reason I harp on this relative performance stuff is that we have top political consultants and major journalists telling the world that we need to copy one specific candidate to learn how to persuade young men, but young men swung more in AK, IA, KS, MS, NC, OH, and TX!

The left somehow wants to take credit for a bunch of @ElectTheBench candidates while also painting the whole operation as an evil plot.

But the people who recruit, fundraise for, and support Dems in key races are the good guys not the bad guys.
Back in April, we mapped out the billionaires and tech oligarchs behind the @MajorityDems network, which is now set to host Hakeem Jeffries, Elissa Slotkin, Pete Buttigieg, etc, to “write the next chapter” of the Democratic Party, behind closed doors. Blue wave! 🌊

The scale of James Talarico’s victory is simply astounding.

He still wins if you remove Dallas, Travis, and Harris counties.

Extremely impressive fact-checking from Pete. Shows how much he knows the material and understands the flaws with Social Security caps without resorting to populist rhetoric.

Yup, two mortgages. This proposal was brought to you by home builders and private institutions making the loans.
Dave: “So you purchased a $1M home using a conventional mortgage with 30k?”

Mark: “Yes.”

Dave: “Where did you get the other 17%?”

Mark: “The State loaned it to me.”

Dave: “So, now you have 2 mortgages and owe 970,000 on a 30k purchase?”

Mark: “Yes, that’s correct Dave.”

We are not backing down. This election is not over. Our team is working across Mississippi to monitor the remaining ballots and protect the integrity of the process. We will see this through to the very end!

This person has zero trust from the general public that he centers the public's interests and our national security foremost

Because his track record of actions is self-dealing and personal enrichment

The Trump Family + allies have engaged in historic, UNMATCHED self-dealing
President Trump today advanced an important discussion with several European leaders about the need for a broader European security architecture that can help establish the conditions for lasting peace.

Building on his leadership and the substantive work undertaken this week in Brussels with Ukraine, NATO, and our European partners, @SEPeaceMissions and I wanted to share some of the objectives guiding our ongoing discussions.

For more than 30 years, Europe and Russia have struggled to establish a sustainable security framework. Decades of mistrust, competing security concerns, and the devastating consequences of this war make this an extraordinarily difficult challenge, but one that is essential to lasting peace.

Our objective is to develop practical arrangements that address the security concerns of all sides, reduce the risk of future conflict, and create a more stable and predictable security environment.

We are exploring five principal goals: permanent security consultations, reliable crisis communications, greater military transparency, reciprocal measures to reduce escalation risks, and an enduring framework for long-term European security and stability.

Any arrangements must fully respect the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and independent decision-making of every nation. Each country will retain authority over its own security and alliances, and no country would have a veto over another’s sovereign choices. NATO will remain central to European collective defense, and this initiative would build upon existing institutions and commitments.

We will continue consultations through the Shell Bay format with Ukraine, NATO, the EU, and our European partners, expanding engagement to ensure that all relevant perspectives and ideas are considered. We will also engage Russia as part of the peace negotiations.

Next week in Abu Dhabi, the United States will convene the first trilateral peace discussions with Ukraine and Russia since February. All parties remain intensely engaged in preparing for substantive and productive negotiations. We will consult closely with our European partners on the sidelines and, if progress is made, aim to move toward a broader multilateral format with their direct participation.

These ideas continue to evolve, and we welcome thoughtful input. Creating the right structure will be critical to ending this war and transitioning from conflict toward conditions that make possible a durable peace.

This is difficult, detailed work. There are no easy solutions. But the opportunity to help end this devastating war and build a foundation for a more peaceful, secure, and prosperous Europe for generations to come makes it a challenge well worth undertaking.

We will see how these discussions develop and continue working intensively with all parties toward President Trump’s objective of a comprehensive and lasting peace.

As a debate kid this is like watching Magnus Carlsen
I’ve never seen this happen in a Buttigieg interview before.

Patrick Bet David brings up Pete’s late father’s work translating Antonio Gramsci.

Pete turns it around onto the American political right.
