BREAKING: Senator Chris Van Hollen is now considering a run against Chuck Schumer for the Senate’s next Majority Leader.
This is amazing. Voters want generational change. Let’s give it to them.

Zohran becoming shadow leader of the Democratic Party because he can’t be president is very ok with me
Axios: Mamdani's bid for 2028 kingmaker
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani can't be president, so he's trying to be the next best thing: a progressive kingmaker for 2028.
Mamdani has been meeting privately with union leaders, urgently talking up the need for a labor-aligned or leftist candidate to run for the White House, four people familiar with the talks told Axios.

Close the door? After this election? Kick it open. Voters gave Democrats power because they want this mess fixed. Let’s have a Senate leader who’s willing to fight like it.

I think the Democrats may have found their national platform 👇🏼
I’m a progressive, but I think different subsections of the Democratic Party do different things very well, and the best version of the party moving forward takes a little bit from each of them.
This will vary by state, district, etc. but this is my ideal blueprint for the national party heading into 2028:
— “Name the enemy” progressive economic populism around billionaires, mega corporations, affordability/cost of living, etc. (à la Mamdani/Bernie/AOC)
— “Root out corruption root and stem” and litigating the case about how Citizens United is poisoning our country (à la Ossoff)
— “Love thy neighbor” empathy and tolerance on trans issues (à la Talarico/Hamilton/Warnock/Beshear)
— “America First, but not in a racist/assholic way” around things like tariffs, foreign wars, and spending our tax dollars at home instead (à la El-Sayed)
— “Reclaim patriotism and the American flag” (à la Ryan/Deluzio)
— “Get shit done” (à la Pritzker/Shapiro)
— “Humanely but effectively secure the border, treat immigrants with dignity & dismantle ICE” (à la Pulido/Gallego)
— “Protect our kids from preyed on by Big Tech” (à la McMorrow)
— “These data centers better pay the fuck up” populism (à la Hinojosa/Hong/Lawrence)
— “Let’s regulate the fuck out of these AI companies so we don’t all die” (à la Bores)

What makes Walker so hard to shake is because he’s just as comfortable moving backward than forward
