Damning assessment of modern Dems from POLITICO Playbook this morning: "But across the ideological breadth of the Democratic Party, a consensus is taking shape: it is a party that is badly out of touch with the median voter; a shrinking tent big enough only for the cultural elite and a few other shards of its past coalition members." From the progressive left: “The Democratic Party needs to be rebuilt,” Rep. PRAMILA JAYAPAL (D-Wash.), chair of CPC, said. “We have become a party of elites, whether we abandoned working-class people, whether they abandoned us, whether it’s some combination of all of the above.”

IMPORTANT THREAD: Have you followed what's happened at the @UofMaryland? Experts say it's the single greatest violation of student civil rights in (at least recent) history, and administrators want it to be a new "model" for how they govern universities moving forward. In February, administrators received an anonymous "tip" about hazing and alcohol issues in fraternities and sororities at UMD. Prior to that, students had alerted administrators that a "rumor mill" in Greek life was going crazy as organizations competed for recruits.
