In a clubhouse room where Cenk is riling against corporate corruption of both parties and the host just invited Christine Pelosi (Nancy's daughter) on stage to comment. 👀
Also, says we should support Neera's nomination because it would be a bad look for Republicans to control the cabinet.
I think I have to stop transcribing before I'm accused of being a rat Taylor Lorenz-style. But clubhouse is fascinating.
The astrology room I was in last week? Truly mind blowing. People about to come to blows over astral projection.
Ok I cant resist this: One of the hosts, when asked if Dems are making the most of their majority, replied that Dems hav done "the most important thing" which is that he can wake up with out tearing his hair out because of Trump. 🥲
Oh no. They spotted me.
Someone who said they were fans of mine but also blocked by Christine Pelosi just raised their hand and asked if he was allowed to talk or if the block was like a restraining order. The internet is so wild.

He went on to admit that his objection was not to the strategy, which again, he didn’t even understand. His objection was to the fact that he thought the strategy was part of some greater scheme he doesn’t agree with.
He didn’t even bother to *understand* the argument.
I asked Sam *repeatedly* to articulate the downsides of #ForceTheVote. He argued that if there were a split between Pelosi and the squad, that Pelosi, whose unfavorables are worse than Trump’s, would garner public sympathy. Not just corporate media sympathy. The ppls sympathy.
80% of all student debt is held by those making less than $127k a year.
Families making less than 60k a year took out 280% MORE student loan debt than families making over 100k.
Women hold 2/3rds of student loan debt.
And Black women hold more than anyone else.
12 years after starting school the median Black student loan borrower owed more debt than they originally took out. And 21% have defaulted on their loans.
I know I'm late to this but . . . Why is Nicole Kidman in Prom?
The casting is so weird. Like, why?
Also, Keegan Michael Key as Meryl Streep's love interest? Was Stanley Tucci busy?
(Meryl is excellent btw).
But Meryl's character is supposed to be from small down PA, yet she still doesn't know how to pronounce Applebees? What's with coastal elites and midrange dining chains?
Is the *left's* position that the only way to change hearts & minds is to knock millions of doors & have 30 min conversations with each person abt Medicare for All? Or might high profile events that draw attention to the failure of our healthcare system in this moment be helpful?
Organizing is important. But Biden didn't knock doors or even have field offices in many key states until late in the game. What he did have was the total support of the corporate media, & a solid narrative for them to push: "I am the only one who can beat Trump."
Biden also had the support of every corporate interest group in the country.
It's hard to compete with that. But it given how much bipartisan distain for this type of behavior there is, you can endeavor to make taking this money politically toxic.
Where have I said that number equals “a powerful base in itself.” I don’t even know what that’s supposed to mean.
You can push a poll to build support and make people confident about leaning into a policy solution. Or you can argue people *actually* like their healthcare.
When Bernie polled #1 with Black voters in February, we should’ve screamed it from the rooftops! You push positive polls to break through bad narratives. That’s common sense.
Medicare for all is a good policy that saves lives and money. AND it’s polling well. ADVERTISE THAT.
Why on EARTH would you adopt right wing taking points about how support changes when the question changes. THATS TRUE OF EVERY ISSUE ON EARTH.
Even despite BILLION spent on anti-M4All adds and misleading polls were still winning the polling war!
