New: I asked AOC how she's thinking about the future of the progressive movement as she weighs a White House run. In the last two open Democratic presidential primaries, there's been a clear progressive standard-bearer, and many on the left think she's their only hope for 2028. She didn't seem persuaded that by that argument: "The movement is so much bigger than any one person." She suggested that her choice won't be solely about ideology: "These decisions aren't always about punditry or ideology. It's about putting the country first," she said. "What's important is ending … the corrupt reign of the Trump administration, as well as any of its acolytes." Asked whether that means she's weighing "electability" as she determines her next move, she replied, "I don't see who wouldn't." axios.com/2026/09/27/aoc-tes…

Axios: AOC test-runs a Senate bid in upstate New York Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's flirtation with a 2028 Senate bid is getting real — more real than the presidential buzz around her might suggest. She's barnstorming through upstate New York, meeting with local officials, and kicking off a voter turnout program that could help her collect valuable data for a possible Senate campaign. In Buffalo, she met privately with Mayor Sean Ryan, then held an impromptu press conference with him, generating coverage of the duo on local TV news. axios.com/2026/09/27/aoc-tes…

👀 👀 Looks like Senate Democrats are about to spend big in Texas to boost James Talarico. A new super PAC incorporated tonight, called Texas Forever, is affiliated with Senate Majority PAC, the Schumer-aligned big-money group. Suffice it to say, this was not done by accident.

Newsom positions himself as a foil to Trump in his UN address.

Pritzker doesn’t need the money in a primary but the latest potential 2028er to meet with Soros.

Newsom: “I know [Bonta] worked hard to deliver for California and I think he did.”

I asked Newsom of reports he pressured Rob Bonta to settle Paramount/Warner lawsuit: “I didn’t pressure anybody. I made the point and made it very publicly…that we, me, many folks…preferred, in the words of Rob Bonta himself” to resolve this in the boardroom not the courtroom

Speaking at the North America Climate summit off of UNGA, Newsom mocks Trump’s speech yesterday as a “master class.” Criticizes Trump for his climate policies, talks about LA fires.
