WOW Tucker Carlson, in an effort to brand Bernie as a hypocrite on environmental issues, argued that he should walk from Vermont to DC. Because that so ludicrous, @AdamGreen of @BoldProgressive picked his argument apart and got Tucker so flustered they had to cut to commercial.

David Plouffe argues Democrats running for House and Senate should say they won't support Hakeem Jeffries for speaker and Chuck Schumer for leader: "Call for new leadership, and say that, if elected, they wouldn’t support the current crop." https://t.co/M6pxYEHicy

Warren's speech today impugned greedy billionaires & their millionaire minions who control the Dem Party. She voiced obviously true stuff we're told never to say - which is why those millionaire minions in media have logged on to smarmily vilify her.

The Massachusetts senator could belatedly become what she always should have been.

Critics went small, talking about MA election results, instead of addressing Warren's actual points. To @milansingh03's credit, he said the quiet part out loud, "I think 'run against billionaires' is a great message for Democrats. The point

Not the words "big structural change" -- which people can disagree with as a slogan (and only got one passing reference today).

1) A tension. Most of today's critics believe Democrats should focus on appealing to working people (including Trump voters) and not focus on culture war issues or identity politics. When asked in Q&A about non-economic issues today, @ewarren -- a leading progressive senator --

What saddens me most about the reaction from @liamkerr @mattyglesias @jbarro @ThirdWayKessler and a few others today is that these smart people apparently didn't watch @ewarren's speech before critiquing it. Some engaged in ad hominem attacks about her instead of addressing the

NEW: 12 years ago, Elizabeth Warren became one of the most popular politicians by telling hard truths about her own party. But then Senate culture pushed her into party "team player" mode, which was a huge tragedy. In a speech today, the old Warren is back, which is a big deal.

It seems to me that all who preach leaning away from culture war issues to appeal more to working people (including those who voted Trump) should be applauding progressive leaders who preach economic populism. What's to attack? Fighting billionaires? Big picture solutions?

Kinda sad seeing 76 year old try to drum up an intraparty fight. Ooooh a "big speech" previewed in Axios & Politico. Yawn. Why are you tagging me? Can't get attention. National Dems figured out what we've known in Massachusetts: she's very unpopular beyond the intelligentsia.

This assertion from Yglesias is quite damning -- for Yglesias. He is claiming it is "basic reality" that Elizabeth Warren is "an electoral underperformer" and that anybody who doesn't understand that shouldn't be trusted to understand more complicated things. But he appears not

The inability of folks in this camp to just acknowledge basic reality — Warren is an electoral underperformer in a safe seat — should be a red flag about trusting them on complicated and congested issues.

So @ewarren is going there! Populists & Democratic strategists cannot pretend that the "Abundance Agenda" proclaimed by @ezraklein & @DKThomp (and the BigTech network who funds and amplifies the full movement) is consistent with taking on the real enemy, corrupt economic elites.
