Anderson Clayton is the best Democratic state party chair in the nation and it’s really not even close. #NCPOL open.substack.com/pub/politi…

Just met a woman, a lawful permanent resident from Missouri, who was detained in moldy conditions inside a camp for 6 months. Her husband is a Navy veteran. She’s been in the country for 50 years. What are we even doing. 🤦♂️

99% of House districts moved against president's party this year -- biggest in modern history & clearly a step change, but part of a long term trend towards "universal swing" in House districts (2022 was a non-wave, but similar to 2010 at 84%).
Median district +14D, also a high

It’s really underdiscussed how much of American conservatism is based on the premise that only conservatives are allowed to wield power and that the will of the voters is something to be worked around if not outright ignored

"I Voted" stickers continue to cover the Alex Pretti Memorial. Today I saw stickers from Georgia, Wyoming, Idaho, Kansas, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Massachusetts, Alabama and California.
Glam Doll Donuts across the street is accepting them via mail for those wanting to add theirs.

Anderson is a good friend of mine, and I can tell you with absolutely certainty that she knows North Carolina - especially the rural parts - better than anyone in the entire country.
In 2025, the North Carolina Democratic Party, which is led by @abreezeclayton, the youngest party chair in the country, passed a resolution calling for an arms embargo on Israel. Pro-Israel orgs and media lost their mind and promised it would cost the party bigly at the polls and drag down their senate nominee Roy Cooper.

i wonder if republicans “we fucking hate everyone” strategy will work better in 2028

This is disgraceful. According to new reporting, Pete Hegseth pulled decorated officers from promotion lists after merit boards had already selected them.
Staff printed out internet searches showing that officers had spoken at a Hispanic Heritage Month event, joined an International Women’s Day panel, or encouraged sailors to get vaccinated.
Those printouts went into files the officers never saw, and they were used to end careers built over decades.
On one Navy board, every woman and person of color who had been selected, except one, was removed.
Every American should want the most qualified leaders in charge of our military, and these men and women earned their stars.
Hegseth must come before Congress, testify under oath, and answer for his decisions.
He has no business hiding while he sabotages careers.

I feel like the Republican members of the Texas Senate who will be up for re-election in 2028 should think long and hard before voting to strip any powers from the Lt. Gov.
They should look at the way Dems turned out this November, and look at the bills being filed now. 1/

A huge story of this midterm: Democrats have rebuilt a political bench that had been decimated over the past 15 years.
In 2017, Democrats held just 42% of state legislative seats. They now hold a majority, recovering 6 in 10 seats lost under Obama.

NEW: Andrew Couch found out Monday his ballot in MS was rejected because the system had him registered in a different county he hadn’t lived in for 6 years. He had no problem voting in the last 2 elections

the fact that republicans somehow thought he wouldn’t take all of them down with him is genuinely incredible

WOW. This is incredible. The Acting US Attorney for the Western District of Washington says it no longer has the manpower to respond to every ICE habeas corpus case, so going forward, it will decline to defend “many” cases and let judges rule without any government opposition.
DOJ cries uncle, abandons clients in habeas cases:

You have to wonder if North Carolina Republicans are ready to internalize yet that @NCGOP has been completely out-worked and out-hustled by @abreezeclayton since she became @NCDemParty chair in 2023 - and we're all now seeing the results.
All of the GOP bros completely dismissed Clayton when she became chair, because she's a young woman. (Many of them harbor an obsession with her.) Yet compared to @simmonsncgop (or @WhatleyNC!), Clayton has simply worked harder leading her party than her NCGOP counterparts have.
When Clayton pushed for Democratic organizing in rural counties, the conservative pundits laughed. When she recruited candidates in almost every single legislative race, the GOP bros mocked it as a waste of time.
But none of them are laughing today. Instead, Democrats have flipped county commissions across the state, won 70 NC House Seats, and would've won an NC Senate majority, were it not for egregious gerrymandering.
And in 2028, the Republican gerrymander of North Carolina, which has completely defined our state's politics for 15 years, is finally going to be fed into a woodchipper. Get ready.

Kansas City fought back against the GOP gerrymander, and Kansas City won.
The Missouri referendum that blocked a GOP gerrymander passed by a wide margin.
In Jackson County, home to Kansas City, which would have been torn apart by the new map, 71 percent voted to block the gerrymander.
