Dems are the helping people party and they will try to help people where they can, even if it means passing a better budget that Trump will sign, if one exists. It's fine actually calm the fuck down

Plenty of bad news for Trump on these sites, BUT I just checked all of the home pages of: -NYT -WaPo -Boston Globe -CNN -MSNOW -The Washington Sun, the latest newspaper That Will Save Journalism Not mentioned at all anywhere. Even clicked through to "White House" or "US" sections too

Robert Garcia must be tearing his hair out MS NOW did cover it, but it got quickly buried. There's new stuff in here!

We have already decided the soul of the Democratic party on this issue and an 80-year-old man who tacked left ten years ago won his primary by 30 points against a much younger Democrat who adopted "moderate" positions on trans rights. but pointing that out wouldn't get erin any clicks

Bsky is the only place where you have to throat clear and hedge the comment "just vote to keep evil people out" For most people no, there isn't "work to be done after." Just vote and go play video games it's fine

Reminder that by pushing prop 50 Newsom has made the deciding vote in the next house significantly less moderate, regardless of some things he said on a podcast or his hair

Last post for this morning, you are going to see a lot of arguments in a year that Kamala is a "bad politician" and they will mostly point to her 2020 campaign, Newsom not challenging her in 28 or maybe that the primary calendar changed to favor her. To which I would say, Scoreboard

I'd love to know if he came to the right conclusion which is "they're stupid and like to hear people blaming others for young men losing their relative place in society" which is incompatible with any democratic message but I doubt he'd ever say that out loud

Plus D eday vote could be higher than expected if Ds are more worried about mail voting being messed with than Rs. Similarly no real logical reason for Rs to wait until eday unless they are just low info... But unaffiliated /low propensity voters tend to skew against unpopular incumbents.

This was an offhand comment about funding in an MBTA advisory board meeting from a mayor who has been kneecapping her own streets department over the last two years and has made no changes within her power to make driving more expensive in her five years so far.

Congestion pricing is not what people should push for anyway, it was a good idea in NYC because they already had tolls on half the bridges and tunnels so a lot of what it did was just make things more fair. You can get the same results many other ways that don't need federal highway approval

Refundable EITC and CTC increases are one of the best and fastest ways to help people struggling most with affordability, so definitely looking forward to seeing nothing from the HCOL city podcaster caucus about it when it passes and materially helps hundreds of thousands

Pretty disgraceful weaponization of the Civil Rights committee and abuse of the Boston city councils subpoena power. Wouldn't have happened if Mayor wu stuck to her campaign and the project was built on schedule instead of leaving an opening for grandstanding. www.universalhub.com/2026/city-co...

this is an extremely reasonable take from the median voter and much better than pundits on any side: "I don't think impeachment will remove trump, it might even make him a little more popular, but i want Democrats to do it anyway and I expect they will"
