📢 The Democratic party is in dire need of a mutiny.

❓ Would 2026 AOC have endorsed 2018 AOC?

"This year, Ocasio-Cortez has gained serious media attention as a possible 2028 presidential candidate. But she could face erosion of the grassroots support she needs for a national campaign.

By refusing to endorse progressives as they take on incumbent Democrats in competitive primaries, she has implicitly spurned those now trying to follow in her footsteps to Congress."

👀 A coalition is calling for Chuck Schumer to step aside as Senate minority leader.

A mobile billboard is circling the capital and DNC HQ in DC right now!

RootsAction was proud to support three progressive candidates who have won their primaries tonight @bradlander, @claireforny , and @DarializaforNY .
Voters overwhelmingly rejected corporatist Democrats in favor of candidates who were wiling to say the word “genocide” and who spoke to the people, not big donors.

@CarnegieEndow With its new leader, maybe this "international peace" endowment can promote the use of torture and weaponized drones across the globe. https://t.co/9pycyLGIiM

NEW POLL: New York State voters, especially Democrats, aren’t being represented by their senators.

In April, the US Senate voted on resolutions to block President Trump’s delivery of 2,000-pound bombs and bulldozers to Israel. 40 Senators – all Democrats – voted in favor. 7 Democrats voted with Republicans to keep weapons flowing, including New York Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand.

The poll conducted by @DataProgress finds that 61% of New York State voters and 76% of Democrats support the resolution to block bombs, and 57% of voters overall including 71% of Democrats support the resolution to block bulldozers.

If Tom Steyer wins, that could send positive shock waves through the Democratic party.

👀"The Becerra-Steyer clash is a major ideological battle with enormous consequences for the future of California, it can also be seen as a proxy war of sorts in the race for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination."

A Serious Autopsy: How Democrats Lost the White House
https://t.co/LaiwfEwALZ

[RootsAction @Roots_Action]

‼️ In an autopsy of close to 50,000 words, not one of them is “Gaza”, or “Palestinians” or “Israel” or “genocide”.

Ken Martin: “there’s a divide in our party on this issue.”

Reality: Only 8% of Democrats approved of Israel’s military actions in Gaza.

The report also leaves out:
-- Joe Biden's decision to run for re-election and then dropping out way too late
-- Kamala Harris being coronated as the nominee without voter input.

DNC autopsy author Paul Rivera met with the pro-Palestinian group IMEU Policy Project in July 2025, and told them the war in Gaza hurt Democrats in the 2024 election, according to two people familiar with the meeting.

But the final report makes no mention of "Israel" or "Gaza."

Rivera didn't respond to a request for comment. https://t.co/hONnDJZtNM

[RootsAction @Roots_Action]

‼️ We needed a serious DNC autopsy. This alleged autopsy is almost worthless.

There's no mention of the Biden/Harris administration's Israel policy that abetted the Gaza massacre. That cost votes, and helped Trump win.
