🧵1. There are a lot of political organizations out there and a lot of candidate endorsements. I co-founded @DemsWork4USA with @SuMoh7 in 2017. We take a strategic approach to grassroots activism. We believe we need more money on the ground, not more money in ads.

2. Make no mistake - there is a grassroots army, and they are uniquely positioned to assess candidates and address gaps in the party infrastructure. Our goal is to provide a framework to leverage and maximize the power of on the ground activists - and translate it into wins.

3. We utilize a "grassroots up", multi-state, multi-cycle and longitudinal strategy to channel grassroots support toward candidates that will result in winning seats, retaining seats and building the bench. This is all critical to passing policy at the state and federal level.

My 5th great-grandfather was Chief Kiyo’kaga Keokuk of the Sauk, then Sauk/Fox tribe. He tried to be a diplomat. He sided against the British in the War of 1812. He entered into the Fourth Treaty of Prairie du Chien, resulting in war with with Chief Blackhawk of the Fox tribe. 1/

@TedCruz

He moved his people to Kansas, as it was agreed. After his death, my 4th great uncle, Moses Keokuk became Chief and moved his people again to the Oklahoma Territory - which, @TedCruz thinks was somehow stolen today. 2/

@tedcruz

The sense of the decisions made by my family members in their leadership roles can be debated. But, I can only imagine how horrifying the betrayal was to witness. Today was some semblance (and I mean semblance) of justice. @tedcruz needs to apologize and sit down.

1. I did some analysis on individual donors to gauge the importance of down-ticket races to the supporters of presidential candidates. This is the percentage of unique donors that also donated to a House or Senate race.

2. This shows a critical difference between Sanders and Warren supporters - who both want to see big, structural change. The Warren supporters get what it will take. Bernie has done his supporters no favors with his "anti-establishment" rhetoric.

3. Worth noting that this data only covers through end of year - Dec 2019. I'll be interested to see the shifts between Warren and Biden after Q1, but I'd be surprised to see much increase from Sanders.

1. Since Bernie has put this out here, I do hope there are some probing questions in tonight's #DemDebate2020 in #SouthCarolina. I'm going to use this thread to try to dig into the details of his funding plan without getting too wonky.

https://twitter.com/BernieSanders/status/1232129196937416705

2. He starts off with his $2.2 Trillion plan to cancel student debt. He plans to pay for it with a Wall St. speculation tax estimated to raise $2.4 Trillion over 10 years. It does seem like a plausible funding stream and he cites an abstract: tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…

3. It works by placing a 0.5 percent tax on stock trades – 50 cents on every $100 of stock – a 0.1 percent fee on bond trades, and a 0.005 percent fee on derivative trades. Researchers suggest it could raise $220 Billion/yr.
