Lots to say on this actually 🧵

Spencer Pratt will progress to the general election in a major American city. Let that sink in for a second…

Pratt inherited and exemplified everything the right has been building for the last decade. This should keep Democrats up at night.

Congrats @TheRealJenBlue! 🔥

Guess what did not break through to voters even a little bit? The DNC autopsy!

Google search data continues to show how much politics (yellow) / gov (blue) gets dwarfed by sports (red) ... but if you zoom into the politics/gov section ... no peep of the autopsy whatsoever 🤐

Being recognized for a story that honors my nephew Clay and the strength of my family means the world to me. I’m grateful to the @PulitzerPrizes committee, my dear friends, and incredibly talented colleagues at @TexasMonthly. 💙

Sendhil Revuluri, the former Vice President of the Chicago Board of Education, is running for the top spot this year. Revuluri was appointed to the Board by former Mayor Lori Lightfoot in 2019 and served for three years.

Trump and his MAGA coalition are so historically unpopular that their only move is to chip away at our rights. Today’s ruling is a historic blow for Black voters who have unfortunately been here too many times.

NEW: Battleground voters say their health care costs are soaring. They’re choosing b/w insurance or rent.

In @NavigatorSurvey focus groups, some voters blame GOP, others blame both parties/insurance industry.

Dems have a clear opening, but some work to do landing the message.

As a teacher & @ChiPubSchools parent, I saw how losing school days hurts kids… and absenteeism has spiked

Now @ChicagosMayor is strong-arming CPS to close schools on May 1… not to improve student outcomes, but to advance a political agenda

@PatrickSvitek @CNN Congrats @PatrickSvitek! Great hire for CNN.

[Priorities USA @prioritiesUSA]

YouTube reaches more voters every week than cable and broadcast TV combined. Most campaigns still treat it like an afterthought.

We developed Warbler to fix that. ->

[Navigator Research @NavigatorSurvey]

In our latest survey, 49% have a favorable opinion of NATO compared to just 27% with an unfavorable opinion of the alliance. Even more Republicans view NATO favorably than unfavorably.

More in our report tomorrow👀

[Danielle Butterfield @likebutterfield]

Rather than write a post mortem after 2024, we got right to work building a tool that helps Dems answer questions instead of just asking them - it surfaces the best, most actionable insights on voters' internet behavior. Right now we're piloting a buy targeting young men in OH.

[Danielle Butterfield @likebutterfield]

Great write-up of the work we've been up to at @prioritiesUSA post 2024:

The YT sales pitch: YouTube is TV
Why? Google knows TV's where the $ is

Our response: YouTube is a podcast + social media feed, music library, gaming platform + more. Treat it that way or light $ on fire

My exclusive look at a new push by Priorities USA to re-imagine how Democrats advertise on social media — and reach non-political audiences — as the right continues to dominate organic content online

WATCH: What we hear from Americans in our survey data is they want the focus here at home — they want to focus on health care, and they want to focus on lowering costs.

‘Things are going to get worse’: Swing-state mothers sour on government

[David Weigel @daveweigel]

I sat in to watch a Dem focus group with female swing voters (all moms). The difficulty of any Dem message getting to people who distrust The News and rely on social media was stark - two 2024 Harris voters got their news from Candace Owens!
