@daveweigel His Isreal answer was unacceptable. That’s not just a moral failure it’s an inability to be in touch with where the base is and what people are looking for.

Slotkin to me on why Dems might need someone from the heartland in 2028:

@kay_enne @mistergeezy Well I’m glad I’m not a Maine voter. Gonna focus on encouraging @RepSummerLee to primary @JohnFetterman

I suggest you have the same energy for Graham Platner too.
Annie Wu (all socials: @annie_wu_22)@Annie_Wu_22
saying he should drop out of the race is not enough. he should also resign.
English
@kay_enne @mistergeezy I didn’t see that. If that’s true I dont know what to say. All I want is humane candidates.
English
@inthefeild @mistergeezy He’s just admitted to loving slaughtering Iraqi civilians… no biggie!
English
@JohnTeufelNYC Yes and after the midterms and @grahamformaine and @AbdulElSayed win we can focus on @RepSummerLee for senate in PA.
English
There is a level of crashing out among centrists that I've never seen before and it's 100% because the left is gaining real power and influence in the Democratic party

No. Kamala lost because people were upset about inflation and they perceived that she was too far to the left. Poll after poll showed this.
Prof Zenkus@anthonyzenkus
Kamala Harris lost to Trump because of her stance on Gaza. Polls clearly showed this, as did the secret DNC election autopsy they didn't want to show us. Now more voters than ever have a negative view of Israel - running her again, or any candidate that supports status quo with Israel and its psychotic gov, would be a disaster.
English
@SarahLongwell25 @AccountableGOP @DavidFavstar @SarahLongwell25 your going to have to face that bombing Gaza and killing thousands broke people hearts. People care deeply. It’s not “ one thing” it’s genocide. Please people need to take it seriously or we will keep loosing and more people will die
English
@DavidFavstar The losing message for Dems was running an 82 year old unpopular incumbent and then swapping in his VP at the last minute who didn’t distinguish herself from her predecessor. Also inflation. This whole “she lost because she did this thing one day I didn’t like” is silly.

Being critical of Netanyahu is easy but being critical of the apartheid state and calling for an end to our relationship with Israel is what the base actually wants
Sarah Longwell@SarahLongwell25
My pet theory is that Dem voters are going to square the anti-semitism vs anti-current-Israeli-leadership circle by electing a Jewish guy who is vocally critical of Israel and Bibi. I’ll get tons of pushback on this right now. But let’s check in a year from now.

@KaseyHelton05 I think there’s a growing support for her to primary fetterman. Which is amazing
English
Why isn’t this woman the face of the Democratic Party???
It's politics@uspolitics1111
Abdul El Sayed needs to be the next senator from Michigan. He has a strong agenda and he's committed to every bit of it ❤️

Brads obvious heart, his kindness and his ability to lead is going to be the greatest gift to Congress this November.
Alyssa Katz@alykatzz
Brad Lander now declares he opposes all U.S. aid for Israel, including for Iron Dome missile defense, after previously supporting defensive aid, citing human rights as he looks to unseat Rep. Dan Goldman, @jacobkornbluh reports exclusively in @jdforward. forward.com/brad-lander-ai…

The DNC just voted down three resolutions to stop AIPAC from influencing our politicians. One would have condemned AIPACs role in primaries. One would have conditioned military aid to Israel. The other would have recognized what is happening in Gaza.
Here's is what they are trying to hide (in my opinion).
Total pro-Israel lobby spending in 2024: over $126 million across 389 races. 96% win rate.
- AIPAC PAC: $44.8M
- United Democracy Project (AIPAC's super PAC): $55.4M
- DMFI: $4.8M
- NORPAC: $2.7M
The NRA spent $1.48 million on lobbying in 2024, just to give you a comparison.
AIPAC and affiliated groups spent +$22M on Democratic primaries in Illinois alone in 2026. They operate through shell PACs called "Elect Chicago Women" and "Chicago Progressive Partnership” that are designed to obscure the source of funding. This is not standard political spending. This is a foreignn policy lobby systematically choosing which Democrats are allowed to win primaries, and the scale is only growing exponentially.
80% of Democratic voters now view Israel unfavorably. The base moved but the leadership is paid not to.
Full deep dive coming this weekend on my Substack.
But for fun, below are the key Democratic figures with the deepest AIPAC ties, based on campaign finance data, voting records, and public alignment:

@anyonewantchips Right well democrats actually don’t want rapist running the country . Crazy take bro to say like how come Dems can’t just allow some raping so this guy can be governor. Absolutely crazy take
English
Remember when Democrats pressured Al Franken to resign over sexual misconduct allegations, without giving him a chance to defend himself. Now, they’re doing the same with Eric Swalwell. Meanwhile, Republicans worship a serial sexual predator who raped & beat a 13-year-old girl.
English
CRY ME A FUCKING RIVER DEMOCRATS
Did the Pedophile President get asked to drop out when he was accused of raping a 13 year old girl? Did y’all call that horrifying and sickening too? Did he leave?
This is a Roger Stone bullshit and y’all are accusing him without any real evidence yet. If it isn’t true, you’ve damaged one of your own. If it’s true, he should step out.
This is fukking dirty politics at it’s worse.
Steve Herman@newsguyusa
Calls for Rep. Eric Swalwell to drop out of the California governor’s race are growing following an allegation the Democrat sexually assaulted a former staffer. kron4.com/news/politics/… ift.tt/TaCZHYp

@politico @adamwren Saying you have been on @billmaher 4 times is so funny. He’s barely even a Democrat.
English
Elissa Slotkin hit back after Hasan Piker criticized her for going on Bill Maher's show but not his livestream.
"He calls me stupid like every other week," she told our @adamwren. "What normal human being would choose to go on a show when someone calls you stupid every 10 days."
English
@DavidKlion Ossoff has major AIPAC donations. Those are going to haunt any candidate in a presidential primary.
English
I actually buy this, but it would be Pritzker or Ossoff, not Shapiro who is DOA with the left

Eric Swalwell on Brett Kavanaugh's alleged victims: "If he is innocent...I hope he says, 'bring in all the victims, allow them to be heard, allow them to be questioned.' That will clear his name."
Today, Swalwell is sending cease and desist letters to alleged survivors of his abuse.
English
@eternallyRaq Any comment on 28 without a sincere acceptance of responsibility in Gaza and an understanding that voters won’t support this as foreign policy is so out of touch it’s insane.

She’s so annoying. You had your chance, you failed. Leave us alone.

Sharpton: Are you going to run again in 2028? Kamala Harris: Listen, I might. I'm thinking about it.
English
@SarahLongwell25 @mehdirhasan I don’t even think @ossoff can considering his AIPAC record. Truly it will haunt any chance of winning a primary.
English
You may be right but it should be Ossof not Shapiro.
