We have to be transformative with this power
Show people who voted for us for the first time what democrats can do for them

Dear dozens of new economic populist members of Congress,
You’ll face fast pressure to deliver economic results. How to do it? Subpoena CEOs. A shocking amount of time, they'll change what they are doing long before you pass a bill or actually cut off their federal funding. So:
- Subpoena Google for cramming AI down our kids throats. Threaten to amend the FAR to prohibit contracting across the U.S. government with any company forcing kids to use AI.
- Subpoena the private equity managers enshittifying hospitals, dialysis centers, your local vet, your local primary care provider. Name individuals, not just companies. Shame them. Show the public (and public pension funds) how they make their money.
- Subpoena health insurers who use AI to auto-deny valid claims, triage mental health emergencies, or upcode diagnoses. Make them stop that.
- Subpoena the airlines for systematically denying cash refunds to travelers. (“Here’s a voucher instead!”) Show your hand – threaten the subpoena now, before Thanksgiving.
- Subpoena Brazilian meatpacker JBS for literally anything. For child labor, for getting fat and rich off of cattlemen, for making their workers work so fast their hands curl into claws, for persistent hygiene allegations.
- Subpoena corporate landlords. Show the public how they get rich off of hidden fees and not fixing their apartments.
- Subpoena any company that has been slow to issue tariff refunds to small business owners. I bet they’ll get their checks a lot quicker!
Will it work? See what happened when Instacart was exposed as secretly marking up your grocery cart... Yes, it can work.
P.S. If anyone tells you “No, you can’t do that” or “No, there’s a process for that,” ignore them. You know what time it is.

NEWS: Nicole Locklin tells me she has been unable to get ahold of the DCCC or DNC as her very narrow race remains uncalled, after 3,000 of her votes were stripped away from her total.
If 4,200 votes in Broward remain, she is still within striking distance of winning given her margins there.

If you’re a new Democratic US Representative or Senator you have an immediate job:
Get your constituent services up and running. There are a ton of you in deep red territory and that’s the only way to survive 2028. You entrench yourself as deep into your community as possible
Number one thing dems could do to deliver a win and reign in big tech? Ban class action waivers. Their existence is a huge part of the reason there’s no accountability- private sector regulators cant touch them.

Friends, I need all the competent people to start planning to staff these executive offices that we’re winning. This will only be temporary if we do not govern effectively.
I am sad about FL but boy oh boy is it antitrust time and I am a newly minted consumer lawyer who enjoys complex litigation.
Really interesting to see how @locklin2026 is getting closer in FL-26 as a progressive in a heavily hispanic area with no help from DCCC or national dems then the millions spent in 7 and 13 to help corpo-dems fail (again).

For all the concern about Angie Nixon’s ties to socialists, and how that would play with Hispanic voters, she ended up winning more votes in Dade than the moderate David Jolly.
This is a big story coming out of 2026 and has huge implications for 28.
Voters seemingly care less about socialism when gas is $6 a gallon.
Regardless of the end result tomorrow, the turnout hypothesis of running a top of ticket progressive candidate has been proven. Now, will it be enough?
Turnout by Age and Race so far
A really stunning stat so far. Black voters 18-24 have higher turnout their whites under 34.
In 2024, Black youth has the worse turnout % of any race/age demographic
And election day historically has a decent Black share #flapol
GOP needs a great turnout day tomorrow. And it’s scheduled to rain. all. day.
We may see FL dems thread the needle with the mandate of the literal skies.
Catch me on @WFLA tomorrow night to get live insights!

I say this to every Democratic operative in Florida
We don’t know if the GOP will surge on Election Day or not. And we cannot control it
What can we control? GETTING OUR PEOPLE OUT. Let’s have our own surge on Election Day and this weekend. 🔵

Every Dem is using a sophisticated model called “PTSD” that subtracts 5 points from every red state Dem and 10 for Maine and South Carolina

An explanation for Gen Z’s swingy politics that often gets overlooked. They’re looking for results.
Suffice to say, I’d go to war for @AngieNixon.
Incredibly powerful reporting from More Perfect Union
Jackson McMillan retweeted
Adding my voice to those saying that this headline is grossly inaccurate.
(A) This is speaking about a very specific sub-set of donations;
(B) This is only looking at a very specific class of consultants;
(C) This does not do an honest job distinguishing between "consultant and vendors" and "ads" (considering consultants and vendors are the ones invoiced to place ads).
If you want to talk about ways we should make consulting and campaigns more efficient and reduce the current bloat HMU. It's very real and I have SO many ideas.
If you want to engage in self-rage baiting by reading something that makes you feel superior by shoddily castigating "insiders", "consultants", the "establishment" and whatever other buzz words are your favorite form of rage; go ahead and indulge in this article's premise.
73% of your campaign donations go to consultants and vendors; only 13% goes toward ads. This is 4x the cut consultants made 20 years ago. Important work by @JakeMGrumbach and Adam Bonica on the capture of the Democratic Party by consultants.

Idk why it’s only ever me and @steveschale who get quoted in FL pieces.
That’s probably part of the problem. Anyway, we can celebrate how kickass of a campaign Angie is running and acknowledge how hard of a job chair Fried has.
Let’s put FL back on the map in two weeks.
On August 18, when given the choice between Angie Nixon and Alex Vindman, a stiff, poll-tested moderate of the kind Democrats have been foisting upon Floridians for years, voters chose Nixon by a decisive 12-point margin. The result shocked national commentators.
It was a testament to how poorly Vindman understood Florida — “He says he’s lived here for three years,” Nixon says, “but I had never heard of him” — that he failed to see what was obvious on the ground: Democratic voters were fed up with the status quo.
Nixon, a dynamic 42-year-old Black single mother turned union organizer, has premised her Senate campaign on the idea that GOP rule in Florida has been a disaster. The Democrats’ go-to response over the past 30 years has largely been to run the most anodyne candidates they can find, only to watch the state become redder. Nixon has taken the opposite approach, seizing on a polarizing agenda of bigger government and universal programs that pundits long assumed would exclusively resonate in deep-blue states like New York.
What makes Nixon different, according to people who know her, is that her public brawling is matched by her shrewdness and stamina as an organizer. “Angie won the Democratic primary because she has been knocking on doors, talking to people, alongside people, for decades,” says educator and writer Phillip Agnew. She is unafraid to talk to anyone.
The public line is that she’s running to win this election, even if the polls say that result is unlikely. But no matter the outcome, she is providing a template for the kind of durable grassroots operation Democrats have neglected when running in Florida.

Great crowd in Tampa. Thank you to everyone who came out in the rain.
Somebody told me that Florida is a red state. It does not look like one today.
Together, we can take on Trump and the billionaire class and elect Angie Nixon to the Senate.
