The superrich are pouring record amounts of money into defeating insurgent Democrats on Nov. 3.

Donald Trump won in 2024 by casting billionaires and blue-collar workers as allies against a liberal professional elite.

As working-class voters lose faith in him, the Left has a chance to consolidate support around economic populism. https://t.co/FZJI6wRXUz

@AlexThomp @axios Not the gotcha you thought it was, huh?

Run, Kamala, run!

[Alex Thompson @AlexThomp]

Newsom tells @jaketapper he won’t run in 2028 if Kamala Harris runs.

Wanting all humans to be treated equal should never be controversial.

The centrist crusade against a rising left is just beginning. It’s also hypocritical, out of touch and doomed to fail.

Here are AOC and Mamdani laughing at the 9/11 event:

[Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed]

You voted to deny healthcare for 9/11 first responders. Twice.

You justified it to a first responder who had had part of his foot amputated it by calling it a “New York problem.”

You should be ashamed of yourself.

The most consistent theme of conservatism is being completely unable/unwilling to understand how a thing is bad until it happens to you.

Billionaire donors are abandoning Democrats because the party's base is turning against them.

That leaves Democratic leaders with a stark choice: chase the donors or run on the economic populism that drove them out.

[Jacobin @jacobin]

Spooked by anti-billionaire talk from the Democratic Party base, ultrawealthy donors are backing Republicans this cycle.

That confronts the Democrats with a choice they’ve spent years avoiding: chase big money or build mass politics. https://t.co/QoA4K1IuAj

You guys had unchecked power to target all the fraud you could find. It was called DOGE, staffed by the best and brightest from your industry and run by your king.

Now you’re saying the super rich won’t pay a wealth tax until you find the fraud?

[David Sirota @davidsirota]

As did Abdul El-Sayed, congresspeople, senators, governors, etc. In fact, your old colleague John Podesta was just on our podcast too - it was a great discussion!

On our show LEVER TIME, I talk to candidates, electeds, journalists & political operatives. Guilty as charged!

Yesterday Mayor Mamdani endorsed a bill to force Amazon to employ its own delivery drivers, rather than outsource the work to subcontractors. The Prospect can report that Amazon's lead lobbyist on that bill is Chuck Schumer's daughter Jessica.

Gavin Newsom fought to kill California's billionaire wealth tax, despite branding himself as a populist.

His alternative proposals would barely touch billionaire fortunes — a preview of how centrist Democrats will dodge the tax fight ahead of 2028: https://t.co/TUmgQlExg7

[Jacobin @jacobin]

California Democrats just defied Gavin Newsom to endorse a billionaire wealth tax.

The fight previews a national battle in which centrists push “pragmatic” alternatives that would barely make a dent in ultra-elites’ wealth or power. https://t.co/wGkIxpJAQm
