“You’ve got to talk about the solutions. You’ve got to talk about immigration. Don’t let Republicans fill the blanks for you,” says Beatriz Lopez of @USImmHUB. Advocates and @RepEspaillat are talking about “the winning formula” after Suozzi, NY-03 victory

So, key lessons? 1- Candidate quality matters (see also: Pilip, Mazi) 2- DON’T run cookiecutter, national Dem campaign in R trending districts  3- DO flip the script & go on offense on “bad” issues for Dems, like immigration.

Congrats @Tom_Suozzi!! Seems @GOP haven’t learned their lesson that cruel, inhumane, anti-immigrant, draconian policies/messaging don’t work. Suozzi was tough but fair/humane, & favored a balanced approach: strong on border sec but expanding legal pathways- what Americans WANT!

There's also smart nuance to his immigration position bc he's not just taking security he's also talking about legalization for Dreamers, long-term undocumented etc
One big thing I'm watching in NY03: It's a test of Democrats' new strategy of offense on border security. GOP ads are pounding Suozzi on this issue; he's countering that he favors the bipartisan deal to toughen border laws while Pilip & Trump oppose it to use chaos as a weapon.

Suozzi speaks: "Despite all the lies about Tom Suozzi and the Squad. About Tom Suozzi being the Godfather of the migrant crisis. About Sanctuary Suozzi. Despite the dirty tricks, despite the vaunted Nassau County Republican machine. We won."

Trump told NRA Friday his mass deportation program would begin "within moments" of taking office. To do at scale would likely require 150-200k law enforcement officers, including a private army of red state ntl guard he'd deploy into blue states More here. theatlantic.com/politics/arc…

Today, we released our immigration principles that will guide our advocacy this year as we continue to fight for our communities and all immigrants. While Republicans refuse to act and play politics on the border and stoke fear and hatred towards immigrants - the CHC remains focused on REAL comprehensive reform that will fix America’s broken immigration system, address root causes, and lead to a secure and orderly border. chc.house.gov/media-center/p…

Crockett: "We also know that the gentlelady from Florida [Rep. Luna], who happens to be the only member to give birth this session, specifically admitted that she actually wants a child separation policy. I can't think of something more ironic."

Raskin: MAGA Republicans hope that demagoguing the issue of immigration while not addressing it in any serious way will be their ticket back into the White House then Trump can resume the real work he wants to accomplish: pocketing millions from foreign governments

More House GOP members saying tve quiet part out loud: they would never do an immigration or border deal under any circumstances because they want to play politics with the issue
New — As senators struggle to cut a deal on immigration with the WH, growing number of House Rs say this: They won’t accept it unless it resembles their bill, HR 2. Yet HR 2 is a non-starter with Dems, something Schumer reiterated today. House GOP will demand changes to any deal. Troy Nehls: “I’m not willing to do too damn much right now to help a Democrat and to help Joe Biden’s approval rating.” w/@MZanona @FoxReports cnn.com/2024/01/03/politics/…

Fetterman going full Sinema. Totally unnecessary statement. And a total attack on the people who worked hard to elect him, defended him post GOP rows over his stroke and clothing etc.
“I’m not a progressive, I'm just a regular Democrat.”
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
There are multiple instances from John Fetterman's social media of him claiming to be a progressive twitter.com/JohnFetterman/… twitter.com/JohnFetterman/… twitter.com/JohnFetterman/… twitter.com/JohnFetterman/… twitter.com/JohnFetterman/…

Powerful op-ed by @mlimongarza explaining what is at stake for asylum seekers in WH and Congress negotiations. Policies like those under consideration are immoral and ineffective and put lives at risk. themessenger.com/opinion/imm…

He was seen as a clown, a joke, and his dictatorial desires weren't taken seriously. And yet Italy got the original fascist - Benito Mussolini. Why aren't we taking the fascist threat from Donald 'dictator for a day' Trump seriously? My new monologue:
