Happy to answer any questions anyone has. I’m an employment lawyer and am informed by that experience and background.

There’s some confusion abt our efforts to educate voters abt @fionama’s conduct that resulted in $350k taxpayer-funded settlement of sexual harassment lawsuit. Swalwell withdrew after credible allegations. If u want Fiona Facts & news clips, go here https://t.co/E6qRG24SKs

@stevenmaviglio @MichaelDTubbs @fionama @sfchronicle “Ad hominem” [autocorrect]

[Steve Phillips @StevePtweets]

@stevenmaviglio @MichaelDTubbs @fionama As hominem attacks aren’t very persuasive. Ma’s sexual harassment settlement — paid for by the taxpayers — is one of largest public settlements by a CA constitutional officer EVER. If facts are of interest, the @sfchronicle breaks it down

[Steve Phillips @StevePtweets]

@stevenmaviglio @MichaelDTubbs @fionama Incorrect. And highlights need for the voters — and tweeters — to be informed. As an employment lawyer I know this realm. Sexual harassment claim was NOT dropped and judge allowed to go to trial. Evidence was so strong Ma forced CA to pay $350k to settle. THEN claim dismissed

@teddyschleifer If any CA major donors are disillusioned by our leaders, want to get behind an inspiring candidate we can be proud of, and want to make a smart, long-term (and big) investment, call me

@staceyabrams is back on the pod!

She joined us to discuss her latest initiatives, why DEI is in our country's DNA, and what she would change first if she was in charge of Dems' political strategy.

As always, I'm grateful & inspired by all she's doing!

New: U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett has a double-digit lead over state Rep. James Talarico in the final days of Texas’ Senate Democratic primary, according to a new poll released Wednesday. https://t.co/ZfQMOBVhG0

[Steve Phillips @StevePtweets]

After weeks of Talarico’s SuperPac hammering Crockett, it looks like the PAC backing Jasmine is now leveling the playing field

When confronting racial inequality, too often those benefiting from inequality (even in WH) think they are the real victims.

@nytimes WH correspondent Erica Green joins us to talk race, power, and why truth-telling journalism matters right now.

Oh look. Just days after @rolandsmartin and I discussed the deep flaws in the outlier Emerson poll, here comes a @HITStrat poll TWICE AS BIG as Emerson showing Crockett leading 46-33. In line with Every. Other. Poll.

[Steve Phillips @StevePtweets]

Anyone touting these Emerson numbers should ask: Why does this poll uniquely show the opposite of prior polls? Why the methodological inconsistencies? The answers suggest this is an outlier that doesn't reflect the actual Democratic primary electorate. END

[Steve Phillips @StevePtweets]

The new Emerson College poll on the Texas Senate race has serious methodological problems that should give everyone pause. Let's break down why this poll is deeply flawed. 🧵

[Steve Phillips @StevePtweets]

Bottom line: Emerson poll contradicts two prior polls, has tiny sample sizes, counts GOP voters in Dem primary calculations, and shows Crockett leading among actual Democrats while claiming she's losing overall. These glaring flaws should make anyone pause before sharing 9/
