We need to repeal the laws that artificially created and continue to sustain a two-party duopoly. The starting point is our own history, writes @DanCantor_.

“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.”

I'm mostly off this hellstie, but @davidshor is a big boy with a lot of influence & his offhanded slam of the field organizing by Obama’s Organizing for America in 2008 is indicative of a much larger problem with how we think about politics: theconnector.substack.com/p/…

The lead strategists and organizers in MO have done an unbelievable job meeting the moment in extremely difficult and hostile conditions.
Just in: Missouri organizers turn in ≈300,000 signatures to block the GOP's gerrymander.
An impressive haul in a very compressed window. They need roughly 110,000 signatures to succeed, though the GOP will now throw everything it has to disqualify them. missouriindependent.com/2025…

The fearmongering we have seen from some Jewish institutions and leaders surrounding Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is harmful, overblown, and risks needlessly deepening divisions in the city and in our community. 🧵

It’s called fusion voting. You only vote once, or your ballot is eliminated, but you can vote for a candidate on a party line. So, I could vote Mamdani as a Democrat or Mamdani as a WFP member. It’s a way to have a multi-party voice without falling into the “spoiler” trap of a third party. Used to be common in the US before a Supreme Court decision in the 70s.
