Spoke to Jaime Churches, a former Michigan representative running for her old seat in a super-swingy district outside Detroit. She’s been dealing with death threats for months, but she was more interested in talking about polluter pay and healthcare. www.progressreport.news/p/unfinished...

Seven weeks since my seventh open-heart surgery (and third in three years). Just started physical therapy. I’m supposed to keep my blood pressure down but that may have to wait another month. At least the Mets ended all tension well before the August surgery.

Just put in a huge update to FlipSeats.org, a directory of must-win legislative seats in critical swing states. Now it goes to districts that were decided by 15 points or less in 2024. flipseats.org

My election night reach goal is trifectas in MI, PA and WI. This would do so much good for the people of these states and help secure 2028 as much as we can. What a miracle to even conceive of this possibility! Want to help? @jordanz.bsky.social has made it super easy to donate to targeted races.

I thought the ad for the drug Jardiance was an SNL spoof because they kept mentioning side effects like bleeding pernieum (aka the taint)… but no, SNL had yet to return from commercials. The drug that makes your taint bleed is real.

The Paramout surrender is a perfect distillation of Democratic politics: 1. Talk a big game 2. Fold despite having legal leverage and public opinion on their side 3. Empower conservative oligarchs who hate working people. Great message to send right before the elections!

The first great tragedy of 9/11 was all the lives lost and families shattered on that terrible day. The second tragedy of 9/11 is how it was weaponized to spread fear, sow hatred, wage endless war, justify torture, and deny freedoms. It's a legacy of heroism and cynicism.

I need to keep my blood pressure down post-heart surgery, so I'm not really allowed to work, but nothing makes me feel more anxious (and thus raises my blood pressure) than not working. Capitalism has destroyed me.

I underwent my 7th open-heart surgery a week ago today. It sucks, but without insurance for a routine MRI, they wouldn't have caught the issue and I probably would have died. Medicare for All is the only moral way forward.

I don’t think I’ve heard Stevens discuss policy — other than the vague need for manufacturing — once during this campaign. She’s not even pretending to move left to win a Democratic primary. It’s all superficial identity politics, dontchyaknow

New York used to have the worst Democratic Party in America. For a decade, Andrew Cuomo used a shadow machine to let the GOP control the state senate. I talked to @jordanz.bsky.social about how progressives organized to force NY to change, and the tools he's building to fight back everywhere.

New York used to have the worst Democratic Party. Here's what changed. I spoke to @jordanz.bsky.social, who took on Cuomo's IDC at the peak of its power, spotted AOC before almost anyone else, and lived to see the Mamdani era win over the city (& state?). He has 2 awesome new projects.

I've never once seen an article about Republicans worried about whether the psychotic, corrupt bigots they nominate in safe GOP districts will cost them an election. The media is obsessed with red-baiting, because it sees politics as a game, not real people's lives.

What’s happening with Democrats (in NYC and elsewhere) is like when Neil Kinnock moved Labour rightward and Militant Tendency took over Liverpool in the ‘80s, except the party establishment is weak as hell and the GOP’s Thatcher already has dementia.
