The Washington Post is the paper which broke Watergate. It won a Pulitzer for coverage of January 6th. For the Washington Post to refuse to endorse a candidate because it fears retribution from Trump is an enormous flashing red sign that the country is on the brink of fascism.

The Times Editorial Board had a huge impact the last New York City election cycle, catapulting Kathryn Garcia to within a small margin of becoming mayor, helping lift Brad Lander into the comptroller's office, & providing a major boost to Alvin Bragg's win as Manhattan DA

NEWS: The NYT Ed Board will no longer endorse in New York elections, including for governor/mayor of New York City. The paper didn't give a reason for the shift. Next year will by the first mayoral in 120+ yrs w/o an NYT endorsement w/@katie_robertson nytimes.com/2024/08/12/bus…

If Biden inner circle likes binary decisions, try this:: - Trump prob beats Biden = Replace Biden. - Trump prob beats Harris = Replace Harris. -NewDem v prob beats Trump = Get NewDem. I know the “rule” is Harris cannot be replaced. But not a rule only an assumption. Crisis = must…

At the end of the day, it's true that the only way to fix this is to elect more Democrats. What Democratic leaders need to think much harder about is how to inspire voters with confidence that if people vote for them, they will fix the problems people care about.


If Roe is overturned, say goodbye to to the Griswold/Casey/Lawrence right to privacy cases. We need to amend state constitutions to guarantee a right to bodily autonomy. This will safeguard abortion rights as well as the right to contraception, consensual sex, etc.

"It is Kathryn Garcia who best understands how to get NY back on its feet and has the temperament and experience to do so. Ms. Garcia has our endorsement in the most consequential mayoral contest in a generation." Humbled & honored. Let's go get it done. nytimes.com/2021/05/10/opi…

Pennsylvania's Lieutenant Governor, Democrat John Fetterman, tells PA residents to bank their votes now, using a dropbox. He says do not use the mail, and "don't jam lines election day".

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 WE MUST BANK THE REST NOW PA. USE YOUR BALLOT. DO *NOT* USE THE USPS USE A DROPBOX DON’T JAM LINES ELECTION DAY



👇🏻

Given Supreme Court rulings on mail ballots and Trump's effort to undermine the Postal Service, I strongly suggest that you now vote in person - try early voting or find a drop box. Protect your health but don’t let anyone deprive you of your most precious right. Have a plan.
