Here it is. The only sports guide in America that owns the libs. Who's in the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Division? Who's in the Elizabeth Warren Division? Who are the up-and-comers in the Nikki Haley Division? My glorious NBA season preview: nationalreview.com/2018/10/nba-20…
Sorry @hughhewitt your Cavs are in the Hillary Division.
Sorry @reihan your Nets are in the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Division.

Gotta disagree with the awesomes @WilcoxNMP as he disagrees with me in this thread /1:
First I’m a bit mystified by his assertion that I underplay the “major economic, political, civic & cultural forces” in the fall of our working class. What I reject is the populist focus on elites in Tucker’s piece. Here’s what I say in my piece /2:
Elites aren’t irrelevant, but the Carlson focus on elites is just wrong. It’s factually wrong and has its own negative consequences as it focuses popular anger an energy away from the things that are most likely to help any given family succeed /3.

Short thread. It's absurd that I have to do this, but my wife @NancyAFrench is the subject of a vile tweets by @julie_kelly2 from a MAGA publication called "American Greatness." For background, my wife is a victim of childhood sexual abuse 1/: washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-f…
In that first article, she called what happened to her "pedophilia" and sex abuse. In an article last year, she amplified what happened to her and explained it occurred when she was 12 years old 2/: washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-f…
What happened to Nancy was evil, but she has persevered through that abuse, through other dreadful things, and is a wonderful wife and amazing mother to our three kids. She's brave and kind and compassionate. 3/

So, about this Jesse Kelly thing . . .

Twitter should be transparent, especially for prominent public accounts. He’s a radio host and former candidate for public office. The silence raises the inference that he was banned for reasons that can’t withstand public scrutiny. 1/
Social media platforms should be run on First Amendment principles, and participants who complain about toxic public voices should be reminded they have mute and block options. 2/
But there is immense progressive peer pressure to make sure that Twitter/Facebook are instruments of progressive social change. The idea that progressives build platforms that conservatives successfully use to advance their ideas is intolerable to some. 3/

Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Justice Democrats, Brand New Congress, Dem Socialists of America

Here it all is, dated 3 months ago.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes pushing the Dems left should be no surprise.

This is Michael Harrington, the Father of Democratic Socialists of America. He literally chose to infiltrate the Dem party and move it left.

Harrington had a huge influence of Frank Llewelyn, former head of DSA and currently part of team Ocasio-Cortez.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ayanna Pressley have convincingly made the argument that in the Trump era, blue states need to go bigger and bolder when it comes to progressive policy-making—which makes it really weird that Charlie Baker is still so popular in Massachusetts. #mapoli
I would love to know what kind of logic allows someone in Massachusetts to simultaneously vote for Ayanna Pressley and Charlie Baker—for a woman whose campaign slogan is #changecantwait and a guy who chains progressive policy-making to the Trump/GOP agenda. I don't get it #mapoli
It's not like there's a shortage of qualified challengers to Charlie Baker. We've got Jay Gonzalez (@jay4ma) running on a progressive and ambitious platform that includes many of the same policies that Pressley and her colleagues have rightly championed. We have a choice. #mapoli

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez - the New York City progressive whose upset defeat of incumbent US House Rep. Crowley drew national attention - is visiting Michigan to help Abdul El-Sayed, a Democratic candidate for governor who has been struggling in the polls: washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost…
Abdul El-Sayed has been running as a progressive and voice for people of color, but has struggled to connect with voters in places like Detroit, a 90% minority city. Latest poll has El-Sayed at only 16% in Detroit, well behind Shri Thanedar at 55%.

Statewide, El-Sayed is in 3rd.
NYC progressive Congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is coming to Michigan to rally the weekend of July 28-29 for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Abdul El-Sayed in Grand Rapids, Flint, Detroit.

Press release from El-Sayed:

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's ad stands out as a tipping point that both reflected her strengths as a candidate and amplified structural forces working against Rep. Joe Crowley from the very beginning. huffingtonpost.com/entry/how-alex…
One aspect of this I did not get into is the long reach of Gov. Cuomo's 2012 decisions. Some Dems blame him for both failing to veto state Senate's legislative gerrymandering scheme and allowing them to decouple congressional redistricting, which eventually sent it to the courts.
For all the talk of "expanding the electorate" and reviving the Obama coalition in places like Georgia, @Ocasio2018 appears to be the most air-tight proof of concept for it so far. It was a deliberate part of her strategy, and how she defied Crowley poll showing him up by 36.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a radical socialist. This is what they want in #NY14 ? Damn shame !

The good news is, this will move the @DNC further left 👌 . A radical like this may be palatable in Ny or Cali, but try this nationwide & the @DNC will get dragged in 2018 & 2020
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez makes Bernie Sanders look like Barry Goldwater. She thinks the @DNC needs to move further left. 🤔

Who cares if she is Marxist, at least she is a woman and a minority. Amirite leftists? #NY14
A latino socialist is like a Jewish Nazi . Most Latin American countries are socialist sh*tholes, that our parents/grandparents fled from. How in the hell can you now promote an ideology that has ravished your countries of origin? That's a special kind of stupid right there.
