Donald Trump cannot unilaterally "take back" DC. His unhinged rants about how he might do so only matter if you ALLOW it to matter. Don't let it matter--rank the candidates you think will best represent you in office and ignore the empty threats
Just wrapped a focus group with Gen Z voters. These are the politicians they said are doing a good job right now.

Unpopular "centrist" Dems give the right endless ammo to effectively use against them, while leftists are so universally appealing that even FOX is scared to attack them, because they keep converting their own viewers.
I'm excited to share my endorsement of Philip Pannell and @MissKelsye, with the Free DC Slate, for DC Democratic Party National Committeeman and Committeewoman. A strong Democratic Party creates a strong DC, so make sure to vote on these positions at the end of your ballot!
NEW: Pope Leo XIV says that the Catholic Church’s teaching on sexual ethics must be less prioritized over “greater, more important issues.”
“We tend to think that when the Church is talking about morality, that the only issue of morality is sexual. And in reality, I believe there are much greater, more important issues, such as justice, equality, freedom of men and women, freedom of religion, that would all take priority before that particular issue.”
people’s memories are so bad they can’t even remember the time before the trans culture war. literally no one cared. republicans didnt care. it wasn’t a concern until they had to make something up to make you angry and stupid. we have hard proof that it’s a hoax but no one cares
It's so fucking funny that Trump cut his political teeth by accusing Obama of being a muslim socialist who was born in africa, but the second he met and *actual* muslim socialist who was born in africa he fell head over heels in love
pentagon trying to force Anthropic to make killbots and threading to crush them unless they comply is among the most dangerous things this admin is doing. HOWEVER it’s hilarious that Elon is practically begging to make antiwoke Skynet and the WH is like “no haha Claude is better”
I’m proud to be supporting my friend Brad Lander for Congress.
@BradLander has spent his career taking on big fights for New York’s working families. He’ll bring principled leadership to Washington and make sure Congress works for the many, not just the few.
