Oligarchs spent $425 million against California's billionaire wealth tax—outraising supporters 250 to 1 on ads. The result: They got a "whopping" 52%.
I've got bad news for these Oligarchs. Your victory is fleeting. We will pass a federal billionaire wealth tax & end your greed.

When Schumer was still in "duck and cover" mode after 2024, Van Hollen flew to El Salvador where Kilmar Ábrego García had been illegally sent to CECOT and did not stop until Trump was forced to follow the law.
This is the kind of voice that should be leading Democrats right now.
NEW: Sen. Chris Van Hollen is now open to a run against Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
Van Hollen has "received an outpouring of calls and is now in active listening mode," according to a person familiar w/ his thinking around leadership
"The door is not shut," the person added
Van Hollen is a leading progressive & has said he needs commitments from Schumer before agreeing to support him for another term as leader. The Maryland Democrat has also been eyeing a presidential run

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

I’ve worked in social media for 16 years.
These are not interns making these statements.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Social Media Manager vehemently disagrees with their statement.
These statements come from the C-Suite 💯

As someone who spends thousands of dollars a year with Chewy, I need to know if they’re ever condemned or spoken out about actual hate speech or anything MAGA podcasters have said. Because I can easily spend more money at local pet store.

This is why I keep saying this isn’t something I did. The people did it. So glad the nation is getting to see Mississippi and all its fierceness. #MississippiMatters
Young Black women in rural Mississippi are trying like hell to make sure no ballot gets thrown out unfairly in the Scott Colom race. They are DMing friends and chasing down people who need to verify their IDs. My story (gift link) on the phenomenon: wapo.st/4AbqTpg

If you're an Ohio Republican you must think of Sherrod as a slasher villain. Just mowing through your bench every six years, and even if you beat him he'll just return in a reboot

Democrats won this election by claiming we are on the side of working people, and working people are counting on us to deliver.

Reminder that Democrats never win by convincing Republicans to vote for them, they win by convincing people who aren’t usually politically active to get politically active.

As the next chair of the Social Security Subcommittee, a top priority will be to expand Social Security benefits by at least $2,400 a year & extend Social Security’s solvency for generations.
How? By scrapping the cap & demanding that the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes.

This is literally a VEEP plotline. Like I'm not even kidding. This nearly, bar for bar, the a B-plot from the VEEP episode "New Hampshire" (S3, E10).

Fun fact: not only is @PulidoForTexas the biggest overperformer of the cycle, he’s also going for his THIRD Latin Grammy next week 🤠
@PulidoForTexas pulled off a 43 point swing, the biggest of any Republican-held seat in the country

Contractor who turned a warehouse into an illegal ICE detention facility:
"Stephen Miller did not want the facilities that were comfortable. He did not want facilities that were humane. We were told point-blank that that was not what the administration wanted ... He wanted it to be cruel."
