AIPAC split its scorecard in the first major test of its political muscle in the midterms. The recriminations over its intervention in IL-09 were swift. AIPAC, one member said, should look at IL-09 and NJ and “reconsider their strategy.” @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Sen. @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social’s message to Dems: They’re “doomed to fail" in 26/28 if they don’t stop tiptoeing around donors/CEOs & embrace populist economic platform. “nibble-around-the-edges approach earns praise" from CEOs + is “good way to appeal to the DSCC." But it won't win elections.

Progressives are pushing Medicare for All in some of their party’s most competitive Senate primaries — returning to the popular policy even as some Dems worry it’s threatening the party’s unity on expiring ACA subsidies. @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social gave $10,000 to @collegedemocrats.bsky.social thru his American Mobilization Project PAC as Dems work to engage younger voters who shifted right in ‘24. It’s the single-biggest donation from an elected to College Dems, an arm of the DNC but not funded by it, this yr.
