Asking a centrist what they wish to do is like asking a libertarian how they’d build or fix roads

[Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @JoshEakle]

Incredible.

A liberal coalition is finally forming to push back against both the far right and the far left.

This week, they launched @thepromise2026, a public pledge with 13 sitting Congressmembers and candidates signing on, openly breaking with the DSA wing while refusing to be lumped in with MAGA.

Their commitments:

"We are capitalist, not socialist."
"We want safety, not lawlessness."
"We are responsible, not reckless."
"Government should solve problems, not create them."
"We are mainstream, not extreme."
"We are proud, not ashamed of America."

This is the kind of pro-America, anti-authoritarian coalition American politics desperately needs.

More of this, please.

@CoffeeBuffalo @JoshEakle @thepromise2026 This is exactly how to lose to MAGa thrice!

[Amanda Litman @amandalitman]

I mean this genuinely: I wish this was better. I want a real interesting debate about the future of the Democratic Party! This is jargony empty corporate gibberish that does not tell any voter how their life would improve if these folks won. This is so self-serious that it’s not serious at all!

@MajorityDems At least pick Gallego. He flipped Trump voters instead of Slotkin being lucky Trumpers didn’t bother circling in Rogers

[Rusty Shackleford @Rshacksalt]

@ChrisCadence Meanwhile DSA’s gaining with non-white voters

[Rusty Shackleford @Rshacksalt]

@WSJFreeEx @MattHennessey Fetterman’s lucky to count to 10 these days

[Rusty Shackleford @Rshacksalt]

@ThirdWayMattB Normies tossed clowns like you aside for Trump twice

@VictorSfor92210 @acopo1024 @DrewSav Republicans have been saying all democrats are communists for decades, what planet are you living on

[Rusty Shackleford @Rshacksalt]

@LExpeditionary @magi_jay @LisaTalmadge They only won because of how awful the GOP candidates were and Roe v Wade backlash. People still didn’t like Biden admin and the polls only got worse for Kamala with more time

[Rusty Shackleford @Rshacksalt]

@Tom_Suozzi Which are?

[Rusty Shackleford @Rshacksalt]

@LExpeditionary @magi_jay The voter apathy is from normies towards the establishment 🤦‍♂️. Y’all are clearly out of touch with what the average person is thinking

[Rusty Shackleford @Rshacksalt]

@FelixFrisch6 @thepromise2026 Rural PA’s never voting for wall street democrats

[Rusty Shackleford @Rshacksalt]

That’s why they’re gonna win

[NewsWire @NewsWire_US]

Speaker Johnson on losing Midterms:

“They [Democrats] will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they'll go after the president's family, the cabinet, his donors and friends…”

[Rusty Shackleford @Rshacksalt]

@ReviloBuzby @sarahnferris MAGA are the dangerous loonies normies are voting against

[Rusty Shackleford @Rshacksalt]

@magi_jay Centrist dems will NEVER support progressive legislation and they have to be defeated. Believing the former is asking for more Liebermans and Sinemas to block legislation and cause more gridlock to put Rs in power

[Rusty Shackleford @Rshacksalt]

@ranchyplains @Remroum Then you’re just coping and throwing a hissy fit

[Rusty Shackleford @Rshacksalt]

@Yahyahyahnope @HBoisdeHypnosis @Remroum Why not just hire him as a consultant again like they did with the original impeachment 🤦‍♂️

[Rusty Shackleford @Rshacksalt]

I don’t think ET can comprehend voters having more than one important issue deciding their votes

[Rusty Shackleford @Rshacksalt]

@btharris93 A two-state solution isn’t sane when one side has zero interest in it and is actively destroying the feasibility of it

[Rusty Shackleford @Rshacksalt]

Literally what the KKK would say

[The Megyn Kelly Show @MegynKellyShow]

Megyn sends a message to the Haitians who lost their TPS today:

"Go home! Get out! We know our country is better than yours. That's because we filled it with our work ethic, culture, and values. You being here only dilutes it for us... GO BACK TO FUCKING HAITI!"
