@CarnegieEndow With its new leader, maybe this "international peace" endowment can promote the use of torture and weaponized drones across the globe. https://t.co/9pycyLGIiM

NEW POLL: New York State voters, especially Democrats, aren’t being represented by their senators.

In April, the US Senate voted on resolutions to block President Trump’s delivery of 2,000-pound bombs and bulldozers to Israel. 40 Senators – all Democrats – voted in favor. 7 Democrats voted with Republicans to keep weapons flowing, including New York Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand.

The poll conducted by @DataProgress finds that 61% of New York State voters and 76% of Democrats support the resolution to block bombs, and 57% of voters overall including 71% of Democrats support the resolution to block bulldozers.

If Tom Steyer wins, that could send positive shock waves through the Democratic party.

👀"The Becerra-Steyer clash is a major ideological battle with enormous consequences for the future of California, it can also be seen as a proxy war of sorts in the race for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination."

A Serious Autopsy: How Democrats Lost the White House
https://t.co/LaiwfEwALZ

[RootsAction @Roots_Action]

‼️ In an autopsy of close to 50,000 words, not one of them is “Gaza”, or “Palestinians” or “Israel” or “genocide”.

Ken Martin: “there’s a divide in our party on this issue.”

Reality: Only 8% of Democrats approved of Israel’s military actions in Gaza.

The report also leaves out:
-- Joe Biden's decision to run for re-election and then dropping out way too late
-- Kamala Harris being coronated as the nominee without voter input.

DNC autopsy author Paul Rivera met with the pro-Palestinian group IMEU Policy Project in July 2025, and told them the war in Gaza hurt Democrats in the 2024 election, according to two people familiar with the meeting.

But the final report makes no mention of "Israel" or "Gaza."

Rivera didn't respond to a request for comment. https://t.co/hONnDJZtNM

[RootsAction @Roots_Action]

‼️ We needed a serious DNC autopsy. This alleged autopsy is almost worthless.

There's no mention of the Biden/Harris administration's Israel policy that abetted the Gaza massacre. That cost votes, and helped Trump win.

Scoop: Another progressive group says it will back Tom Steyer for gov. @Roots_Action will formally endorse tomorrow, they tell me.
"The irony is not lost on us that RootsAction is a group that rails against corporate and billionaire influence over the Democratic Party," cofounder Jeff Cohen said.

There's nothing logical about this at all.

That’s why we’re continuing with our campaign demanding a full release of the DNC’s autopsy report on the 2024 election disaster. #ReleaseTheAutopsy

Schumer ignored Democratic voters and opposed a supermajority of his own Party to keep the weapons and equipment that maintain the occupation flowing to Israel.

It's unconscionable for the Democratic Party to continue allowing Chuck Schumer to be their leader in the Senate.

He should resign or be replaced immediately.
