Haley Stevens is telling on herself - pass it on

For a decade, corporate Dems & liberals have soothed themselves by insisting Trump won ONLY because of racism, not also because voters got sick of corporate Dems promising hope & change - and then selling them out. In this important NYT clip, @sunraysunray.bsky.social destroys this argument.

Rahm's piece is not a real argument. It is fundraising. Choosing the right-wing WSJ oped page is a move to speak directly to billionaires. Shitting on populist Dems aims to get billionaires to write checks for his campaign. @rahmemanuel.bsky.social's piece isn't an oped. It is a solicitation.

A new vision statement from Democratic Senator @slotkin.senate.gov exemplifies corporate Dems' not-so-subtle art of promising to fix problems while refusing to confront the donors creating those problems. It's the Politics of Villain Avoidance - the kind that voters have come to loathe.

🚨NEWS: In the state that sets America's corporate legal standards, the law firms that helped Elon Musk gut the country's investor protections are now bankrolling the reelection bids of the Dem lawmakers who did the gutting - and who are now facing stiff primary challenges.

What stage of feudalism is it when seats in the House of Lords are being given to fallen lords' kin?

In 2025, James Carville demanded Democrats “roll over and play dead” in the face of Trump’s rampage. 15 months later, Democratic primary voters have been throwing out Democratic politicians who took that advice.
