Thread on how if Dems want to continue to rely on Black & brown women voters, they MUST address the Care Crisis.
We saw how the economy was the #1 issue for the majority of WOC, and this is the bulk of what they meant.
#CareCantWait👇🏽
When we are talking about the Care Crisis, we are talking about a crisis that disproportionately hurts Black & brown women—the backbone of the Dem party. They have to choose work or child care; child care or care for their parents/elders; pay bills or buy food.
This is not ok.

Fuck this guy.
My last tour as Manchinologist ...
- Manchin was *this* close to running for president
- On ARP -- “I was going to kill the whole bill. Then the president went completely insane on me"
- “If it hadn’t been for the Ukraine war, you’d never have seen IRA"

Great, now do death row.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Biden commutes roughly 1,500 sentences and grants 39 pardons in biggest single-day act of clemency in modern US history.

Good.
NEW: House Dems say they're on the verge of pushing out another senior committee leader
Jeffries is not protecting Ag ranker David Scott (D-Ga) this time. Pelosi is quietly backing Costa - who CHC endorsed today in a closed-door meeting
Even older CBC members are openly mulling backing one of Scott's challengers - a stunning shift as he hemorrhages support
Rep Gregory Meeks (D-NY): “The first inclination of course is to support him. However, I’m also talking to members of the committee, etc. to see where they are.”
CBC members also say Scott isn't planning to attend their candidate forum tomorrow
“I think that’s a mistake,” Rep Bennie Thompson (D-Miss) said. “I think anyone running has to make their case as to why they’re there. It’s part of the process.”
“The race is against Costa and Craig at this point,” one House Dem said. “Scott is done.”

Who failed [white] working class voters?
Joe Manchin, a white “Democrat” representing West Virginia
Here’s him bragging about it in spring 2024
He would never be able to run on the @WorkingFamilies line.

.@abreezeclayton is everything 🙌🏽
I don’t think anyone should be calling me saying they’re running for DNC chair without a thoughtful explanation for how they plan to invest in strong, sustainable state party infrastructure AND how *much* that means they plan to invest if they can raise it + operational costs.

Really sick of ATL Dems messing up on housing support. First, they had to return $10 MILLION of federal rent support and now this.
The city missed out on at least $3 million that could have gone toward delivering affordable housing, because the planning dept failed to update the "in-lieu fees" for inclusionary zones to account for rising construction costs and other market factors.

Frustration has grown over the Democratic Party's failure to engage with Black rural communities. Local leaders say this neglect, in addition to voter suppression, limited outreach, and criticism, has eroded trust among some rural Black voters.

.@Carolyn4GA7, explain this. This is one of the only places in the nation where Dems made gains. This region includes moderate white voters. Look at the data before you make such claims.
And if you’re ever elected again (which you won’t), don’t block Dem econ policies like BBB
Today on Politically Georgia, we talk to immigration lawyer @ckuck about Trump's pick for border czar.
Then, @Carolyn4GA7 and @HillaryHolley4 offer their different takes on how the Democratic party can regroup after sweeping losses. #gapol

.@lucymcbath: this won’t help you run for governor. If anything, it harms you from winning because (like always) you’ll have to rely on the organizations who will be targeted by attacks like these. #gapol

There is no possible way to present a firm analysis on where we’re at as a nation.
What is possible is taking a big step back, and have slow & gradual conversations as the data (hard actual data) creeps in.
Let’s be human. When you rest and pause, you become so much sharper.

Also, it’s so obvious when someone hasn’t taken a beat and hasn’t slept and moving faster than data: you end up looking like an idiot. And so many of us aren’t idiots. Let’s respect our communities, and not say idiotic things because we’re tired and heartbroken. We owe it to them

“I’ve never seen a more dysfunctional organization in my life. I can’t stress enough how much the party’s bottom has fallen out across the state. I don’t want to air dirty laundry, but we’ve got to force tough conversations.” #gapol

I have dedicated my life to making sure Pennsylvanians’ voices are heard, whether on the floor of the Senate or in a free and fair election. It has been made clear there are more than 100,000 votes still to be counted. Pennsylvania is where our democratic process was born. We must allow that process to play out and ensure that every vote that is eligible to be counted will be counted. That is what Pennsylvania deserves.

If we’re serious about winning, we need to take some hard lessons and admit where we were wrong.
It’s also not enough to dust off the 2016 "resistance" playbook.
It’s time for a new playbook.

Bumping this for tonight 🖤
I will never doubt Black men organizers. While we have a ton of work to do, we as a community always come around & remember what's at stake. Thank you, @cliff_notes @MauriceWFP @Domo_Politico, John Taylor, @DesmondandTutus , & more <3
