I’m a progressive, but I think different subsections of the Democratic Party do different things very well, and the best version of the party moving forward takes a little bit from each of them.
This will vary by state, district, etc. but this is my ideal blueprint for the national party heading into 2028:
— “Name the enemy” progressive economic populism around billionaires, mega corporations, affordability/cost of living, etc. (à la Mamdani/Bernie/AOC)
— “Root out corruption root and stem” and litigating the case about how Citizens United is poisoning our country (à la Ossoff)
— “Love thy neighbor” empathy and tolerance on trans issues (à la Talarico/Hamilton/Warnock/Beshear)
— “America First, but not in a racist/assholic way” around things like tariffs, foreign wars, and spending our tax dollars at home instead (à la El-Sayed)
— “Reclaim patriotism and the American flag” (à la Ryan/Deluzio)
— “Get shit done” (à la Pritzker/Shapiro)
— “Humanely but effectively secure the border, treat immigrants with dignity & dismantle ICE” (à la Pulido/Gallego)
— “Protect our kids from preyed on by Big Tech” (à la McMorrow)
— “These data centers better pay the fuck up” populism (à la Hinojosa/Hong/Lawrence)
— “Let’s regulate the fuck out of these AI companies so we don’t all die” (à la Bores)

Imagine the Dems have a good result and end up with a sizeable House majority and 53 Senate seats.
One of the most interesting questions for me is "How fast do Republicans start breaking from lame-duck Trump?"

He's actively helping Russia against Ukraine while Russia provides support to Iran and against our own military. There's a word for that.

UnitedHealth reported $4.1 billion in profit for Q3 — up 75% from a year ago.
Your reminder that health insurance profits are your denied claims and cut coverage.

The East Wing is destroyed. So is Reflecting Pool. The cherry trees have been chopped down. We’re at war. Tariffs spiked prices. Our debt has ballooned. The corruption is off the charts. So are the lies. The election is in 3-weeks.

President Trump’s decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuel amidst Putin’s ongoing and brutal attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine makes no sense and is a betrayal of the legacy and leadership of the late Senator Lindsey Graham.
While Ukraine fights for its survival, Putin’s war machine continues to prosecute his terrorist war on civilian populations and innocent Ukrainians are dying every day.
Now, Instead of implementing the tough sanctions Lindsey Graham fought to his last breath to enact, President Trump has announced the United States is lifting sanctions on Russian energy, fueling the Putin’s war machine.
As I saw firsthand in Ukraine last month, Putin is losing this war. Ukraine has fought the Russian military to a standstill and reinvented warfare with drones taking the fight into the heart of Russia.
America should not be throwing a lifeline to Putin’s war machine. Now is the time to stand strong against Russian aggression as we did during the first Trump administration.
Putin doesn’t want peace. Putin wants Ukraine. I have no doubt that if Putin overruns Ukraine, it will only be a matter of time until Russia’s military crosses a border that our troops will have to deal with him.
America is the Leader of the Free World. For our National Security, for the security of our Allies in Europe including Ukraine, President Trump should rescind this deal immediately and return to the strong policies of our four years in the White House; impose harsh sanctions on any nation purchasing Russian energy and work with our allies to ensure Ukraine has the military support it needs to repel and defeat this Russian invasion once and for all. Slava Ukraini🇺🇸🇺🇦

Notice that these Republicans — these “conservatives” — never ask Putin’s evil dictatorship to stop bombing, stop murdering, innocent men, women, and children. Our government is a disgrace. Our nation is shamed.

Nothing says “America First” like mocking a former American president in front of a communist dictator.
Trump may think he’s humiliating Biden, but all he’s doing is humiliating the United States.

A Republican realizes that politics actually affects him
I've talked to literally thousands of Republicans who have no idea that the government has played a MASSIVE ROLE in:
- The truck they drive (why is every pickup enormous? Is it really true that ALL truck buyers prefer huge trucks? Why can't you buy a small, cheap one?)
- The education they received (how did you receive a public education? Why are student loans so expensive?)
- The food they eat (why do you rarely get sick eating out?
- The house they live in (why can't you build an ADU? why do you have to maintain your front yard? Why can't you have a courtyard?)
- The clean air & water they have access to
- The mortgage on their house (why does a 30-year fixed mortgage exist here and almost nowhere else?)
- Their health insurance they get through their job (why is it tied to your employer at all?)
- The electricity on their rural property (who ran power lines out there when no private company would?)
- And many more: Not crashing on airplanes (FAA), their 401(k), predictable weather (NWS), GPS on their phone (DoD)
But no, they insist they're rugged men who did it "without anybody's help"

Yes. Those of us who vehemently opposed him were always correct. Correct to oppose him. Correct to criticize those Republicans who went along with him. Correct to refuse the cowardly anti-anti position that acted like Democrats were worse. It was all predictable. We predicted it.

This is the interview Trump’s FCC doesn’t want you to see.
We’re not just going up against the most corrupt politician in Texas.
We’re going up against this entire corrupt system.
