I'm not running for office. But if I were, these are some of the lessons I'd take away from what happened in NY yesterday.

1. Authenticity is measurable. Voters can smell a focus group from a mile away.

2. Endorsements from the current Democratic leadership now read like warnings. The establishment wing of the party is no longer a sword. It's a question mark.

3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost.

4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper.

5. The middle is not a strategy. It's an empty room. Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something.

6. Don't fear the base. Court it. The Democrats who ran from their own voters lost. The ones who ran toward them won.

7. If you want to lead a party you have to be willing to fight inside it. Mamdani didn't ask permission. He took the field.

The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led.

WATCH — @jamestalarico: “Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in 🇺🇸…
He was impeached by his own party for using his public office to enrich himself and his donors… that kind of corruption is the rot at the core of this broken system.” (Naturally, Trump now supports him)

Dear @FBIDDBongino / @dbongino

One day your two daughters will grow up and ask what their dad did when it mattered most.

Do the right thing.
Stand up for women.
Stand up for children.

Many media types and Dems continue to operate as if Trump is a politically invincible figure, or "Teflon Don." But in truth he's become a weak, failing, diminished, unpopular, naked-emperor figure, and it's time to treat him as such. 1/

@PressSec The fact that you are so aggressively denying something so obviously real (and that isn’t even incriminating on its own!) makes me believe whatever Trump did with young kids is worse than anyone can imagine. You are disgusting.

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

No Trump voter will turn on Trump.
Not for democracy.
Not for the Constitution.
Not for the rule of law.
Only for one thing: pain.
Jobs gone.
Farms lost.
Mortgages defaulted.
Cars repossessed.
Then they’ll flinch.
Not before.

Trump lied about this birthday card.

What else is he hiding?

[Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell]

Why would @RepNickBegich (AK-AL) vote for this bill? 37,000 people would lose access to their healthcare. 27,000 households could lose access to their food assistance. 578 energy jobs could be lost.

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

Donald Trump's Big, Ugly Bill is going to rip away health care from over 170,000 Minnesotans.

Shameful. I'm doing everything in my power to fight back.

[Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell]

Why would @repgabeevans (CO-08) vote for this bill? 29,276 people would lose access to their healthcare. 29,494 households could lose access to their food assistance. 886 energy jobs could be lost.

If they pass this bill of death in the House, there’s going to be a resurrection. If they do it on July 4th, we’re going to organize a massive freedom summer & voting summer next year. Everybody they hurt with this bill, we’re going to organize. We will not bow down, lay down, & die. Use our @UniteThePoor tool to call your House member TODAY and demand a #MoralBudget. https://t.co/seF8IzxIAI

Dear @60Minutes

I have watched your brilliant show for many decades now.

This is simply a terrible mistake and it will have deep and lasting repercussions for many years to come.

[iVotedBlue @MikePluntweet]

@TheTNHoller @lisamurkowski It’s cruel Senator. Cruel and mean to the most vulnerable. Generous to the privileged. You voted for it. Makes you cruel and mean too. Now that’s your legacy. Another sad pathetic MoC thinking u are noble and righteous.

[Winter @LeftyWinter]

I'm so pissed off man.

Murkowski folded.

Shame on you, @lisamurkowski.

[Lucas Sanders 👊🏽🔥🇺🇸 @LucasSa56947288]

RETWEET if you think @LisaMurkowski is a coward!

[Winter @LeftyWinter]

Shame on you,@lisamurkowski.

I hope you live with guilt for the rest of your life in the Senate.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

The staredown says it all. @lisamurkowski knows she sold out America.

She could’ve voted NO. She didn’t. That will be her legacy.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

Fuck you, Lisa Murkowski.
Fuck you.

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

🚨NEW: GOP Senator Lisa Murkowski has cast deciding vote to pass the “Big Beautiful Bill” in the U.S. Senate, which will cut health care coverage for millions of Americans.

RETWEET if you think @LisaMurkowski is a coward!
