This is the face of someone who's ready to protect Social Security by scrapping the cap and making billionaires pay their fair share.

Anderson Clayton is the best Democratic state party chair in the nation and it’s really not even close. #NCPOL open.substack.com/pub/politi…
Cheers to the chair

Cheers to the chair

Anderson Clayton might not have made the wave, but she helped make it bigger and broader in North Carolina.

When no one believed her, Anderson Clayton said she would flip NC blue as state party chair and now look at the results. She deserves credit where credit is due. The on the ground organization in all 100 counties made the difference @abreezeclayton

Turns out the message of “we’re gonna incinerate humanity to make a couple billionaires even richer” was not the winning strategy they thought it was

Nursing home CEO Paul Walczak pocketed the taxes from his workers' paychecks and blew it on a $2M yacht, travel & Cartier. He got 18 months in prison. Then his mom went to a $1M-a-plate Trump dinner. 3 weeks later: FULL pardon. This is the most corrupt White House in US history.

Mind-numbingly stupid for the Globe parrot the claim that jungle primaries will address the problem of the number of uncontested elections. An election is only contested if a second candidate runs. Increasing the cost of the election deters candidate #2.

Starting Oct 19, the Trump administration is rolling back Biden-era airline passenger protections, and airlines will no longer have to provide stranded passengers with meals, hotels, or other assistance for delays or cancellations.

Don't expect a posture against AI data centers or for serious AI regulation to be part of the 'Democratic Party's future'. The billionaires funding the group hosting this summit, @MajorityDems, include Stephen Mandel, who profits from the construction of AI data centers, and tech oligarchs like Reid Hoffman and Joe Lonsdale.
