This weekend I shared a post voicing my concerns about the far left. The response has been overwhelming. Leaders in both parties called to tell me the same thing: this stuff has gone too far.

To be clear: I'm a progressive Democrat. My whole life, I've wanted to see a youth movement fight for affordability, for healthcare, for real opportunity. It’s time! The system has utterly failed the next generation. Young people deserve real change — and they are right to fight for a better future.

But the movement is being hijacked by too many people with insane, outlandish and nutty ideas that have nothing to do with affordability, climate solutions or health care.

For example: Mamdani picked a DSA candidate who wants to abolish the police, empty every prison, erase every border and discourage interracial dating. Okayyyy ... So clearly, Chevalier has no problem condemning things! UNLESS it’s a designated terrorist organization. Believe it or not: Chevalier has refused to denounce the terror group Hamas — four times. That’s INSANE — and progressives can’t be afraid to call nonsense like that out.

Supporting Hamas is NOT progressive. The idea of “no police, no prisons, no borders” — which would let pedophiles, human traffickers, terrorists, hate groups and crime syndicates run wild — is NOT progressive for vulnerable communities. Celebrating the murder of Israeli civilians is NOT progressive. These ideas are REGRESSIVE.

If we can't tell right from wrong, good from bad, smart from loony tunes — Team Blue will go down the same road that turned the Republican Party into a shell of itself.

We can’t let that happen to the Democratic Party.

This is the game changer.

The most important thing Mamdani did was change the American political conversation from identity politics to class and economic inequality. That could change our entire trajectory for the better.

Love this country. Always. Question it, criticize it, protest it, get angry at it, be disappointed in it, and work to always make it better. But love it. Always. It’s a group project, it’s a work in progress, it’s a promise not yet fulfilled, but it’s the most unique experiment in human freedom in all of human history. Love it. Be thankful for it. Always.

Happy 250th America.🇺🇸

@JamesAbrenio Trump is going out with a bang.

@SenSanders @AOC No brainer. Thank you

@Brcremer I know I’m splitting hairs here but it’s more of a cult than a religion.

[Ed Nuttall @EdNuttall]

Gerrymandering was wrong when Republicans did it in Texas and Missouri and it’s wrong for Democrats to attempt it in Virginia. If we can’t win midterms under this political climate, we don’t deserve to win.

[Ed Nuttall @EdNuttall]

More Dems need to speak up. Gerrymandering is wrong regardless of which party does it.

[Jim McBride #FwdDemocrat #UkraineDefender @jimmcbride13]

@LevarStoney @SenLouiseLucas @MarkWarnerVA Telling an anti-corruption millennial he is not welcome in the Democratic Party because he opposes GERRYMANDERING is probably the stupidest thing any leader could say.

Have dems learned nothing about why voters leave because of party arrogance?

[Dan Green @DanGreenMN]

As a Democrat, I’ve noticed a lack of Democrats expressing pride in America today.

You don’t have to give up your political beliefs to be immensely proud to call America home. Loving your country does not equal supporting the current admin.

Don’t let MAGA own patriotism.

@DAGToddBlanche Too bad, Todd. Jim is actually qualified for the job

@smerconish He will transform government in a way he never anticipated or wanted.

[Van Jones @VanJones68]

Voter ID is not unreasonable. How hard it is to get ID’s in poor and rural communities is unreasonable. We can fix both.

Democracy requires two things: fair access TO the ballot — and fair counting OF the ballots. Right now, neither side trusts the other. That is unsustainable.

When both parties distrust elections, democracy is in danger.

That is where we are. But I believe there is a way out: https://t.co/88emopLmfk

@RGIII @OuttaPocketRG3 I absolutely loved the halftime show! I was one who couldn’t understand the lyrics, but the energy was undeniable!

@BradleyRHaywood You should run for CA in Fairfax.

Overturn Citizens United.

Get dark money out of politics.

Let’s take on corruption and end special interest influence that helps billionaires & corporations, while working people suffer.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Sixteen years ago, the Supreme Court decided that corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

[Elliott Harding @Harding4VA]

Hashmi pulled one of classiest moves I’ve heard of by personally inviting outgoing LG Chief to a function in which Dem ops questioned his presence & she went so far as to say “He’s here at my invite, if you have a problem with that, leave.” Idk anyone else who’s done similar

[Ed Nuttall @EdNuttall]

@BuildersMvt Outrage driven content, on both sides, drowns out the boring, meaningful discourse that most people want to hear.

[Ed Nuttall @EdNuttall]

@LarrySabato Terrifying

[John Kasich @JohnKasich]

It’s encouraging to see a handful of Republicans join Democrats to back a war powers resolution. That should not be controversial. Congress is supposed to check the executive. The question now is whether Congress will build on this moment or let it pass. https://t.co/Lg6KDArBhO
