If people going to Cuba on their own dime and delivering aid is “performative” then i wish a lot of you would get more performative right now.

@jamestalarico I cannot believe you. After supporting you for YEARS, I’m disappointed to see such a take. Best place is Cooper’s BBQ in Llano, Texas btw 🫡

.@JamesTalarico: This is a very serious allegation to make in Texas, so I want to say this definitively and categorically: I deny all accusations of veganism. Our campaign basically runs on barbecue these days. I will give a shout out to the best barbecue joint in Texas, Louie Mueller Barbecue in Taylor, Texas. Check it out next time you're in Taylor. Best brisket you're going to find.

.@JamesTalarico: The reason Democrats lost support in South Texas and among Hispanic voters is because we took them for granted. We assumed they were a part of our base and we stopped showing up. We stopped competing for their votes. I went down to the valley a ton and I listened. I heard their concerns primarily about costs. It's this cost of living crisis that's crushing people all over the state, but especially folks in South Texas. You have to ask for someone's vote. You have to earn their vote. I think showing up and listening is half the battle in politics. It's what our party should do a better job of among all communities.

Now report how many of those were federal workers. Eres o te haces?
Christian Martinez@CDHMartinez

Wow! @SpanbergerForVA is not even a full year into the Governor’s mansion and Virginia’s already staring down a brutal 10,300 job losses in 2026. From @GlennYoungkin’s economic boom to Spanberger’s bust in record time. She is an absolute disaster.

1/3 🧵 MAGA Republicans, at President Trump’s direction, are gerrymandering maps across the country to rig the midterms. But we have the power fight back. How? By joining me and thousands of Virginia by voting YES for fair elections by April 21 to level the playing field.

Cory’s right. I am sick and tired of the mainstream media refusing to report on PERSIAPAC and TURKPAC spending hundreds of millions of dollars meddling in primaries to boost their preferred candidates. It’s an antisemitic double standard, and he’s a hero for pointing it out.
Caroline Vakil@CarolineVakil

Asked by @lisakashinsky about the shift of opinions on AIPAC among Democrats and whether he personally would reject money from the group, @CoryBooker says “First and foremost, there is a singling out of AIPAC that is troubling to me.” Says there are Iranian Americans and Turkish Americans who bundle money, adding “There are a lot of ethnic groups that bundle money, and often for things that I don't agree with. But somehow, AIPAC seems to be drawing a lot of attention, and that's problematic to me,” he says. Goes on to say that he doesn’t think anybody should be accepting PAC money from anyone.

"Jesus, Paul, look at this receipt—ten dollars for a single potato. This new Value-Mart AI surge pricing is killing me, man. Killing me." “That’s nothing, Bill. Wait ’til the next update: the store will be able to see exactly how much money you have in your bank.” “You’re kidding.” “And your 401k.” “@#$% me sideways.” “That’s why I use URCHN to do my groceries.” “Really? What’s URCHN?” “URCHN is the latest in affordable concierge shopping.” “Oh, you mean like Uber or Instacart. What makes them different?” “Orphans.” “𝑂𝑟𝑝ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑠?” “That’s right, Bill. And not just any orphans. Dirty, starving orphans who live under overpasses.” “Uuuh.” “As you know, the cameras in the grocery aisle scan your face and adjust the price based on race, socioeconomic status, and dietary restrictions. But you know who always gets the best prices, no matter what?” “…orphans?” “Yep.” “I don’t know, Paul, that seems a little-” “Of course, the AI still discriminates based on race, which is why they send a multi-racial team of no less than four dirty orphans to buy your groceries.” "Um." “The Latino child buys your rice, and the Asian child buys your tortillas.” “Yeah, no, I get it.” “And the black child-” “Sorry, uh, these are children, right? Small children?” “Of course. Teens would raise the price.” “How do they, uh, reach the items on the top shelves?” “They stand on each other’s emaciated little shoulders.” "Jesus." "Yeah, the Hispanic orphan tends to be on the bottom." "What?" "Sturdy stock." “…and how much do you save?” “My last potato was 34 cents.” “#$&@ it, I’m in.” --- [r][title: AI Surge Pricing]
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS

Walmart is rolling out digital price tags at all of its stores. At the same time, the corporate giant just secured a patent for "dynamically and automatically updating item prices.” Plus another patent for using machine learning to predict demand and recommend prices.

I’m not a big fan of these trying-to-go-viral ambushes of electeds, but goddamn Diana DeGette really couldn’t have handled this any worse. A lot of longtime incumbents haven’t faced a serious primary challenge in a long time & don’t know how to handle even a tiny bit of pressure
Sunrise Movement 🌅@sunrisemvmt

BREAKING: Rep. DeGette gets heated with a constituent pressing her on why she voted to send bombs to Israel: "If this the only issue that you care about is this issue, then you should not vote for me" DeGette, who's 68, is facing a primary challenge from @MelatKirosCO.

I spoke to Anthropic’s AI agent Claude about AI collecting massive amounts of personal data and how that information is being used to violate our privacy rights. What an AI agent says about the dangers of AI is shocking and should wake us up.

Chris 🏳️‍🌈 🥥🌴Revolution 4 Big Struct. Change
Daniel Bliss challenged Pritzker from the left and is a proponent of Medicare for All, a wealth tax, breaking up big tech, and A Green New Deal. The left is winning and shifting the Overton window so much the center is celebrating electing a less outspoken Squad member.

Abughazaleh is getting crushed in the Cook and Lake County suburbs. Evidence that Mamdani style leftism only has purchase in deep-blue cities and college towns.

Anyone with even a passing familiarity with the methods Cesar Chavez used to build his version of the Chicano Civil Right movement is probably unsurprised, although certainly dismayed, by legendary labor organizer Dolores Huerta's allegations against Chavez. His methods were quasi-cult-like. And left much to be desired. In fact, of all the movements in the late 60s-early 70s, Chavez's was the most troubled from the start. nytimes.com/2026/03/18/us/… @iwelsh @KidNate @evan7257 @abelwithatable

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus. You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare. Bombing schoolchildren in Iran. Deporting moms and babies. Covering up the Epstein files.

daniel biss was a progressive pick running for governor when zionist advocacy orgs successfully got him to ax his lt governor due to his pro bds/ anti israel position. this was in 2017. today he won the dem primary in opposition to aipac as the liberal zionist defeating both the aipac candidate fine in 3rd place, and the antizionist kat abughazaleh in 2nd. while politics in this country has shifted dramatically, there’s still more room to continue pushing our electeds.

VoteHub projects Daniel Biss to win the Illinois Democratic primary for U.S. House District 9.
