Went digging for a deck box for the Reality Fracture prerelease. Found one that rattled with some cards in it, let’s just pop this open and see what’s inside, and Oh Good Heavens -

Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil was so good it makes the creation of the previous movies a prosecutable offense

My lord that was such a big swing. One of my favorite creature features in a very long time. I Hope people overcome the one-inch tall barrier of subtitles to see this one.

Saw Bowling For Soup play 1985 live last night, which means it’s time to remind you that it has now been longer since that song first came out than it was between that song and the actual year 1985

For everyone either complaining (or celebrating) that the DNC is "broke" take a look at this chart comparing DNC finances during this cycle to the post-2016 cycle. Whatever Ken Martin's weaknesses might be, fundraising is not one of them. $100 million more raised this cycle than post-2016.

Many headlines are being written about South Carolina going first, but I feel not enough focus has been put on our historic decision to expand the window to six states! It creates a proving ground that sharpens our candidates while making sure our entire coalition is represented.

So very proud of my friend @michaelkapp.com who worked so incredibly hard to expand our early state window to six states. The committee just adopted his amendment, which will vastly improve the rigorousness and diversity of our early window proving ground!

Quietly and without much fanfare to be honest, but we just adopted our Call to Convention keeping the first ballot ban for automatic delegates. Not that I thought the ban had a chance to go away, but superdelegates are one of the more common topics people talk with me about.

Checking in from DC this morning for the beginning of a two day DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting. The real fireworks will be tomorrow - determining the states that will go early, before Super Tuesday, in the 2028 Presidential Primary, and who will be first.

In DC this week for the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee, hearing from the 12 states bidding to appear early in 2028. What am I’m looking for in an early state? Competitive and diverse. Looking forward to hearing from states about how they’ll contribute towards those goals!

My two year old seems to have gotten unstuck from time or at the least developed some kind of prescience, because she now claims things like “when I was older, I got tattoos.”

This is a very strange post-primary feeling for me. This is the first competitive statewide (or larger) primary of my life that I have been on the winning side of. Looking forward to a very good November! ❌ 2016 - Sanders ❌ 2020 - Warren / Sanders ❌ 2020 - West ❌ 2024 - Gutierrez ✅ 2026 - Talarico

Some voters in Dallas and Williamson Counties are being forced to vote at a different polling place this election. Please confirm your polling locations in these counties by visiting: - txdem.co/dallas2026 - txdem.co/wilco2026

André Treiber @andrebttx.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
Per the Texas Democratic Party, nearly a third of Williamson and Dallas County voters are being turned away when they try to vote due to confusion over polling locations, caused by Republicans opting not to hold countywide unified Joint Primaries.

America is praying for Austin. But there is something profoundly cynical about asking God to solve a problem we're not willing to solve ourselves. God moves and works through us. God has no other hands but our hands. We must act.

A procedural argument that “actually, Congress should have gotten to press the bomb Iran button instead” counts as a failed response, too. Just say no war. It is so easy to say no war.

André Treiber @andrebttx.bsky.social · 28/02/2026
I am watching various candidates and 2028 hopefuls for their responses to Iran. This will be a very easy litmus test. The correct response is simply no war with Iran. The further you get away from that, the worse it gets. Support and justifications are instantly disqualifying.

Thanks to the ineptitude of the Trump Admin and CBS, Stephen Colbert’s interview with Rep. James Talarico is on track to receive several million more views than it would have otherwise. So… thanks for the extra publicity and help in flipping Texas to blue!

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see. His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert. Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

I feel that Democratic campaigns using generative AI to replace artists, writers, or other workers, should face just as much scrutiny, skepticism, and criticism as those that cross picket lines or use non-Union materials. Something I’m watching very closely for 2026 and 2028.

I hope Dems begin to see that moderate or progressive, AIPAC is not our friend. They endorse January 6th insurrectionists. Yet if you so much as suggest the US uphold its own Leahy laws, no matter your record, they will work against you.
