.@perrybaconjr is exactly right here. Whether a candidate wins by 1 vote or one million, what matters is what they actually do in office. We’ve seen candidates win by big margins and do jack shit. And others barely scrape by and make big things happen. newrepublic.com/article/2165…

As Progressives Prosper, Centrist Democrats Are Moving the Goalposts

With insurgent candidates poised to win in purple areas in November, establishment Dems could lose their “electability” cudgel.

Let’s be clear about what’s happening:

Donald Trump is using the Department of Justice to target his political opponents. He wants to draw attention away from his failed leadership weeks before the election. I stand with Ilhan.
Ilhan Omar
@IlhanMNOct 12
I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Just as you wouldn't trust the defense contractor lobby to get us out of war, we can't allow tech CEOs who got us here in the first place to regulate themselves. xitter.cf/amir/status/2103137623…

The only responsible plan to regulate AI is to stop it in its tracks. Any politician whose AI plan isn’t “this must stop now” isn’t ready for what’s next. Trump is all in on AI, so Republicans won’t go there. And Democrats can’t. We need a party that can & will.

NEW poll in 18 toss-up districts shows independents & moderates are *not* looking for the archetypical Moderate candidate — and are not dissuaded if outsiders are labeled too far left. Strong support for Israel was *least* appealing quality in a candidate.zeteo.com/p/exclusive-new-po…

EXCLUSIVE: New Poll Shows Swing District Voters Prefer 'Outsiders' to Boring Centrists

Survey shared with Zeteo has a sample skewed towards Trump voters but shows strong support for Israel is the least appealing candidate trait. Plus, is Trump about to pull his controversial AG nominee?

N.J.’s newest congresswoman’s stunning first bill would raise federal minimum wage to $25 an hour

The bill has little chance in a Republican-controlled House, but for Mejia — a former union organizer who ran on a $25 minimum wage — it's a fitting first act.

We're proud to endorse Sue Altman for Congress in NJ-12! From defeating the county line and supporting medicare for all, to fighting against corruption in Camden City and working to abolish ICE, Sue knows what it takes to take on powerful interests and deliver results.

Chris Rabb, PA-03 candidate, says he wants to ban prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket "It's a poverty tax. And I'm anti-poverty. The last thing we need is more iterations of gaming at the expense of folks who are already on the margins. And there's a lot of influence in those industries on campaigns. Did I mention that I don't take corporate PAC money?"

Democratic Rep-elect Analilia Mejia will be sworn in to the U.S. House of Representatives by Speaker Mike Johnson later today. Mejia won the special election last week to serve out the remainder of Governor Mikie Sherrill's term in New Jersey's 11th Congressional District.
