It’s not just that he does bad things. It’s also that he’s bad at being president.
He’ll start betraying his promise, and his oath of office, the minute he’s sworn in. 🧵
Before I go on, the most crucial election of 2025 is in Wisconsin on April 1. Help stop a MAGA extremist from taking the tiebreaking vote in our divided Supreme Court by donating now to @WisDems. Chip in here: secure.actblue.com/donate/wisdems…
Trump has promised to do a lot of terrible things on Day One:
* Mass deportations
* Roll back federal regulations
* Defund schools with vaccine mandates
* End birthright citizenship
It was a pleasure to join @TheDemocrats first official forum for DNC Chair candidates earlier today where I shared my vision to Unite, Fight, and Win for the Democratic Party.
If you weren't able to watch, here's what you missed 🧵
I talked about how I will begin an audit of existing consultant contracts on Day One.
I’ll work with DNC members to set a new policy–our contracts should be based on results and our values instead of “who knows who.”
No automatic renewals and no back-door deals. It’s time to clean house.
I also shared how I’ll grow the DNC’s physical infrastructure and staffing presence outside of DC.
Our staff, our storefronts, and our Chair shouldn’t be confined to a DC bubble.
As DNC Chair, I'll lead from the front lines—in DC, on the road, and while raising my kids in WI.
On this last day of 2024, look over the horizon: Trump’s inauguration is in 20 days. The DNC chair election is in 32 days. And the most important election of the spring, the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, is in 91 days. Are you ready? 🧵
At @WisDems, we’re getting ready for a Supreme Court race that’ll define the future of freedom and democracy in 2024’s closest state. If you can chip in now, you’ll help us spread the word that the Democratic Party looks out for all Wisconsinites. Chip in: secure.actblue.com/donate/wisdems…
You might be looking with dread at January 20, the dark day of Trump’s second inauguration. We’re bracing for Trump’s sore-winner victory lap, as he crows about his attendance numbers (no matter what they are)—and then starts cranking out awful executive orders.
The Trump storm is coming. And suddenly it’s very, very important that we’ve elected people who believe in democracy, freedom, and the plight of working people at the state level. 🧵
I’m going to dig in on the Wisconsin story. But before I do: electing candidates who believe in freedom, democracy, and working people is what @WisDems does. With your help, we’ll keep driving our year-round, grassroots organizing. Can you help? secure.actblue.com/donate/mayeom_…
Okay—let’s step back. We’ve seen how states with Republican trifectas responded to the last few years: abortion bans, attacks on workers rights and personal freedom and just about everyone without Trump-sized bank accounts. With Trump in office, they’ll go even further.
It’s a tale as old as kleptocracy: Trump ran a campaign of division and fake populism.
Now, he’s appointing a cabinet of billionaires and gearing up to rip off everyone who can’t afford a Mar-a-Lago membership. 🧵
This is always the con. The far-right candidate campaigns on a message to working folks that they understand their economic pain, and some voters, desperate for change, believe them.
The far-right candidate claims that the people to blame for that pain are some other group of people with even less power. The far-right candidate tries to make the election about that group, to divide and distract the country.
If we’re going to take on Trump, Republican extremists, and move our country forward, the Democratic Party needs to be stronger. I'm running for Chair of the Democratic National Committee to unite the party, fight everywhere, and win. Join me. 🧵
The soul of the Democratic Party is the fight for working people. Ours is the party that built the middle class, that won breakthroughs on civil rights, women's rights, workers' rights, freedom and opportunity for all—and has so much more to do.
The Democratic Party welcomed me as a first-time campaign volunteer when I was 11. In high school, I volunteered on Tammy Baldwin’s first campaign for Congress. At @MoveOn, I helped defeat the GOP's attacks on health care. Now, I lead @WisDems—where we organize year-round.
