Most of you know me from my posts. What you might not know: I run a company, Erfan Media.
We edit, package, and grow some of the biggest voices in liberal politics, and run some of the largest Dem-aligned accounts online.
Now we are hiring:
• Long-form editors who can cut and package YouTube videos
• Account managers who know how to build brands and make them go viral

Jim Jordan is a 62-year-old who has spent the past 20 years in Congress.
How is he, in any sense, the "new guard?"
Jim Jordan was elected under Bush in 2006, became a fierce opponent of former Speaker Boehner and the establishment then helped found the Freedom Caucus in response.
In 2018, he challenged Kevin McCarthy for Leader, but lost. Ran for Speaker in 2023 but failed to secure enough votes.
Now, after nearly two decades in Congress, Jordan has finally been elected Leader, defeating Steve Scalise by 33 votes. He is now positioned to become the next Speaker if Republicans take back the House.
This represents a change from the old guard to the new guard. Extremely promising sign.
Get ready.
2028 is going to be absolutely brutal for the GOP, isn’t it lmao
Has Pete Hegseth committed impeachable crimes? The question is absurd and the answer is: obviously not.
Like so much of Congress, impeachment has become a ridiculous show that stands in for actual policymaking. Congress has so many tools for registering its policy disagreements. Rather than use them, they're going to try to impeach Pete Hegseth. They did the same to Donald Trump. Legislation is hard. Impeachments are easy (and ultimately, inconsequential).
The irony is that legislators are most angry at Pete on the issues where he's most correct: repositioning forces away from Europe/Ukraine and reorganizing the general officer corps.
This isn't about Iran, this is about the fact that Pete took on the bureaucracy at the Pentagon.
“This would reduce access to credit cards among those who struggle to pay them off!!!”
Honestly, now that you mention it, that's kind of a strong case for the policy.
Let’s cap credit card rates at 10%. Take action on affordable housing. Protect rural hospitals. End price gouging.
Democrats have the bills ready.
@SenWarren says now it’s up to Trump to work with us and get things done.
The fact that anyone voted no on this is just depressing.
We have mass transit projects sitting in permitting hell for 7 years. The status quo is completely untenable.
NEW: Virginia regulators just recommended axing the $67B Dominion-NextEra merger.
Experts say the merger would increase utility costs by 58%.
