Before Zohran won & Eric was saying moderation was key, @perrybaconjr summarized the Bonica-Grumbach thesis:

1 Be interesting w/ media

2 Run against establishment/wealthy

3 Recruit candidates on vibes, not moderation or fundraising

4 Focus on low trust/young

Welcome Eric!

🚨 NEW REPORT: We’re exposing 6 billionaires behind Trump’s cruel agenda.

In order to appease their billionaire donors, Republicans are pushing tax cuts for the ultra-rich and making us pay for it by slashing our survival programs.

“It turns out men across party lines and different walks of life want government policies that allow them to be actively involved in their families—and this is connected to their ideas of masculinity, not contrary to it.” @dhuckelbridge @dorianwarren https://t.co/O4Y0hY8bda

NEW: UAW Calls on Michigan Legislature to Deliver for Working Class People in Lame Duck Session

The UAW issued the following statement today calling on the Michigan legislature to deliver for working class people in the upcoming lame duck session:

The UAW is the state’s largest union, with over 300,000 active and retired members in Michigan.

For too long, corporations and the rich have taken more of the wealth we’ve created for themselves. They’ve rigged the rules of our politics and pitted working-class people against one another by telling us there isn’t enough for everyone. That must end.

In the final days of the Democratic trifecta, we are calling on the legislature to show up and fight for working class people.

Michigan’s lawmakers can fight for the working class or do the bidding of corporations and big donors, but they can’t do both. It’s time to pick a side.

We must go on offense for living wages, health care, retirement with dignity, and time with our families. We must defend against corporate greed and divide and conquer politics.

In the lame duck session, we are expecting action from our legislators, and we will be watching closely. Who stands with the working class on our core issues, and who stands with corporate interests?

In the coming days, the UAW will be demanding action on important legislation that makes life better for working people and our families and that protects our rights and communities from harm.

We need our leaders to fight for the working class all over this country, but it starts here in Michigan, the birthplace of the UAW.

[Doran Schrantz @DSchrantz]

This debate about the role of non-profit interest groups and Dems is missing the point. It’s a symptom of a much larger problem—hollowed out politics. The Dem side political practice (often driven by donor advisors/firms) abdicates actual politics in favor of the *appearance* of it. Constant polling, obsessive RCTs on field tactics, treating voters as consumers. Media is very important, but can’t cover for weak organization and alienated bases. Alternative? 🧵

Today, the Board ruled that, going forward, an employer will violate the National Labor Relations Act by requiring employees to attend captive-audience meetings in which the employer expresses its views on unionization under threat of discipline/discharge. https://t.co/odKn4Ah341

In order to vote in his first election, my father paid a poll tax. My dad. Not my great great grandfather, my father. He is very much still alive. He voted today. No poll tax required. I am so proud to his daughter.

In 2023, just 50% of Wisconsin’s child care spots were considered affordable.

This #ElectionDay, vote for your kids & working parents & for child care workers like Charlotte. Vote for @KamalaHarris. #DemsDeliverChildCare #CareCantWait

[Dorian Warren @dorianwarren]

.@nytimes recognizes childcare as a critical issue this election! For decades, Black, brown & women-led childcare workforce have been the backbone of our economy & democracy. CCA childcare changemaker Charlotte Randolph has been hard at work organizing for our care economy.

[Community Change Action @CommChangeAct]

CCA Childcare Changemaker Charlotte Randolph was out in full force for our National Child Care Voter Day of Action. She's working to break down barriers to affordable child care一an issue impacting nearly half of all voters. https://t.co/L0IQzsZd4v

@ChicagosMayor A huge s/o to @EatOrgChicago who has been key in advancing guaranteed income initiatives. Their efforts are helping to lift families, cut poverty, and create a more equitable future.

[Dorian Warren @dorianwarren]

I applaud @ChicagosMayor for allocating $32.5 million in his proposed 2025 budget for a #guaranteedincome program that will uplift 5,000 low-income Chicagoans! This key investment will empower recipients, support families, and strengthen our communities.
