I read polls. I respect pollsters. But this is a reminder that people prioritize what leaders emphasize. Politicians and activists can and should respond to polling data but they also can move numbers by persuading people. P2025 would’ve produced blank stares just months ago.
There’s quite literally no one thinking through how to best engage content creators in politics and activism and policy advocacy that is as thoughtful and innovative as Nick. This is great for him and for us all!
Excited to share that I started working on the Harris-Walz campaign a few days after the Democratic National Convention.
I love our team and the work we’re doing, partnering with content creators across the country to fight for a brighter future. 50 days to go, let’s win this!
Of the many lies that Trump and MAGA tell the ones about the strength and success of the American economy and America itself are the most pernicious, corrosive and outrageous.
TAX FAIRNESS: More than 2 in 3 Americans support closing tax loopholes and raising taxes on corporations to make sure they are paying their fair share in taxes.
#Debate2024
Today, there are 6 million MORE jobs than there were before the pandemic. Trump's claim that the new jobs were just "bounce back" jobs is false on its face.
Over and over again, we see that Americans just want a bit of fairness—things to get a little easier for them rather than a lot easier for corporations and billionaires. This is huge and necessary and exactly why she will make a phenomenal president.
🚨 NEW: “Vice President @KamalaHarris on Friday will call on Congress to pass a federal ban on price gouging as part of her economic platform to lower grocery prices and everyday costs.”
Will be part of her first 100 days agenda. 🇺🇸💪🏽💸 https://t.co/y0FgJMUhZU
Just this summer, Republicans have voted against protections for contraception, protecting IVF, and against child tax credits. But sure, the party of JD Vance is the one looking out for families…
If anyone proves just how wrong JD Vance is, it’s Gabby. Gabby has served our country, sacrificing more than many ever will, and also been an amazing role model and stepmother to our daughters. I couldn't be more grateful to her for it.
Vice President @KamalaHarris is a proud mom of two remarkable stepchildren—and so am I. @CaptMarkKelly and I were trying to have a baby through IVF before I was shot and that dream was stolen from us. To suggest we are somehow lesser is disgraceful.
"JD Vance wants a total abortion ban. When asked about exceptions for rape and incest, he said 'two wrongs don't make a right'. When is it wrong for a woman who has been raped to want to terminate a pregnancy?"
- @CaptMarkKelly making the stakes crystal clear
This is the biggest news of the day and should not be ignored by the many legacy news outlets that ran with Vance having some kind of nuanced position on abortion rights.
One of the biggest fights next year is which vision of the economy should win out: helping families lower costs and improving lives through investment and job creation or tax breaks for the wealthy and corps that help ONLY corps and the wealthy? It’s a choice with a clear answer.
What's amazing to me about this graphic is that Trump's tax cuts for the rich cost more than the Infrastructure bill, Inflation Reduction Act, American Rescue Plan, CHIPs, PACT, student debt forgiveness, and funding the IRS COMBINED.
This @nytimes analysis is a case study in how the media incentivizes Trump to lie shamelessly for political reasons.
NYT editors' decisions to lead with the lie and bury the record in the body shows that team has done absolutely nothing to adapt.

Just a reminder that what has driven us into debt is not Social Security and Medicare, but rather the George W. Bush tax cuts and the Trump tax cuts, both of which disproportionately benefited the wealthy and corporations.
Since Dobbs, I have heard a lot of tough stories in focus groups. But this group (for @NavigatorSurvey) of young women explaining how abortion bans are causing them to rethink their life plans really broke my heart.
Truly cannot get over the fact that the man who authored the decision to overturn Roe had the audacity to write “She makes her own decisions, and I have always respected her right to do so,” with regard to his wife quite literally waving her anti-democracy flag(s).
