@krystalball The real villains in this story are John Roberts, Bret Kavanaugh, Sam Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Clarence Thomas, and Amy Coney Barrett for empowering these monsters.
@MorePerfectUS@AOC Susan Collins of the left just introduced legislation to get attention after she failed to endorse in the NY primaries, where Zohran got the credit.
@krystalball@daveweigel AOC is the Susan Collins of the left. Always manages to come through when the establishment needs her, and virtue-signals when they don't.
The point is she could be amassing the sort of immense political power that Mamdani is right now. Instead she is prioritizing congressional relationships over pushing forward a movement that yes will be important to future campaign bids. It's also just sad to realize that AOC of today would not have endorsed the AOC who defeated Joe Crowley.
Last night also demonstrates the problems with AOC’s don’t rock the boat strategy. Since she has refused to endorse against sitting members, she is on the sidelines of a movement that she herself helped to kick off and logically should be leading. Missing the entire Dem Tea Party at the federal level because the once insurgent is now a de facto incumbent protector.
There is a very good reason why someone like @RoKhanna should be the next Speaker.
He is picking/making the right enemies on the right, and really pissing them off. The Dems *should* have a leader who Elon Musk is threatening to sue and wants imprisoned. That's the right guy.
@llknowlton1@ChrisVanHollen Have you ever worked at an Apple Store? If not perhaps you should and maybe them you will understand why they need a union.
Happy Father’s Day to the millions of dads who, in these tough times, are doing their best to raise healthy and happy kids.
There is nothing more important.
