Now: Gallego for Arizona. Last cycle(s): Fetterman, Bowman. Always: Team Reid. Founder, New Deal Strategies. I work for people & causes I like and believe in.
I am so proud of what the entire Fetterman team accomplished over the past 2 years, but I do want to give a shout out to my team at New Deal Strategies who helped define Oz from the jump with some truly incredible (and hilarious) videos.
Here are some of my personal favorites 🧵

In NYC, school meals are available in every school from 7:30am-1pm.
And it’s any school, so if you live closer to another school, go there.
Bernie Sanders is as close to a frontrunner as the Dems have right now.
For our former nominee to be trashing him on a weekly basis is worse than anything she has accused him of doing to her campaign in 2016.
Former Dem. presidential nominee Hillary Clinton furthered her comments discrediting Sen. Bernie Sanders as a viable presidential candidate, insinuating that his potential failure to "deliver the moon" would detract from efforts to rebuild public trust
Four years ago in Harrisburg as

Sit with this for a moment:
Even though Rs have only won the popular vote *once* in the last seven elections, Republican Presidents have picked 15 of the last 19 Supreme Court justices.

What Trump is doing is beyond shameful. He’s trying to get her killed.
All Members of Congress should denounce him immediately.
John may have missed some words, but his message was loud and clear. John will fight for Pennsylvania – Dr. Oz will only fight for himself.

There will be many takes, but you cannot tell the story of the Fetterman campaign without recognizing how important it is to have a candidate who gets it, who people actually like.
John Fetterman is a truly good and decent person. He’s real. Flaws and all.
With his handmade key chains that go for $5 each, this 8-year-old boy raised $4,015 to erase the lunch debt of students from his school and six others.
A lot of folks have asked us what’s next after the big

Well, a bunch of us from Fetterman, Warnock, and Kelly are coming together for a real one:

Activists with Sunrise Movement confronted Joe Manchin this morning outside of his yacht on his way to the Capitol, in protest of his opposition to the Build Back Better social spending bill.
They followed him to his car, and then surrounded his car too. Some images:
“What kind of a doctor roots for somebody that was sick to stay sick?” Fetterman asked the crowd, receiving boos in response. “What an inspiring campaign for you, Dr. Oz: Your success is measured in how many words I might miss.”
lol you fucking idiots
She said: Trump "can name his son Barron, but he can't make him a baron."
That's not an attack on Barron, nor a smear on the president.
There’s one answer here on Bernie and this ain’t it:
“If he gets the nomination, will you endorse and campaign for him?
“I'm not going to go there yet.”
Evening news opening with *McConnell’s* announcement of COVID relief.
That fucker stalled this thing all year and now gets credit for making it happen.
Great job, everyone.
We have a DA-elect who is using her victory speech to call out the names and family members of victims who have been wronged by our broken justice system. From Akeem Browder to Gwen Carr to Valerie Bell.
It is breathtaking.
The victims’ ages are 33, 37, 39, 44 and 49, and they were all home when they began to experience sudden symptoms, including slurred speech, confusion, drooping on one side of the face and a dead feeling in one arm.
Yep, that’s

Reminder: Fetterman has withstood *$80 million* in negative attacks.
PA was always going to be close.
The reason we’re still standing is b/c he connects with real PAers.
They don’t want cookie- cuttter candidates. They want someone who understands what they’re going thru.
A lot of reporters and pundits were very, very wrong about how Pennsylvanians would vote and how they would view recovery.
Pennsylvanians wanted a fighter. Someone who understands them, someone who would fight for them.
And they are getting one.
Senator John Fetterman. 🙏🏻

Two things we need to get out of the way:
1) John Fetterman has a suit and will wear it to the Capitol.
2) He is still recovering from a stroke and has lingering auditory processing challenges. The way Hill reporters are used to yelling questions at Senators will not work here.
The mayor’s health department told New Yorkers late last night that we should all act as if we have been exposed to coronavirus. Late this morning,

This is a bittersweet picture of father and son which serves a reminder of how much Biden has lost. It was probably taken just a few months or years removed from the tragic car crash.
Helluva job, RNC.
“Far too long we have lived with the danger of being a second class citizen and frankly, I’m tired of it. And every single Muslim in this country should be tired of it.”
“When I see a candidate come in just with Michael Scott levels of cringe and insensitivity, it either tells me Yang is in over his head or is not listening to his staff. Those are both radioactive flashing signs that say he is not prepared to be Mayor.”
Just under 3,000 Americans were killed on 9/11 and it changed the entire trajectory of American life.
We’re nearing to almost *100* times that - and a few times that just this month - and we still don’t even have a federal mask mandate.
What an utter failure of government.

This is chilling.

✔️Arizona
✔️Nevada

Last night was an utter catastrophe for stopping GOP gerrymandering next year. GOP is poised to draw 4-5 times as many congressional districts as Dems, likely closer to the latter number. That's similar to the GOP's 5:1 advantage after 2010. AZ, MI, PA legislatures still uncalled
What a crappy take.
@ewarren
was massively helpful to the Fetterman campaign.
She did in-person fundraisers when John was off the trail, signed her name to fundraising emails, and did everything we asked – and nothing we didn't.
Around the country, so many worked flip seats in the closest House election since 1930

ACB brought her children --unmasked - to a super spreader event and then brought the virus back to her kids' school, but sure, she understands the importance of healthcare because she's a mom.
Grassley: "The left is also suggesting Judge Barrett's confirmation would be the demise of the ACA and the protection for preexisting conditions. That's outrageous. As a mother of seven Judge Barrett clearly understands the importance of health care."
Remember how Republican Senator David Vitter was caught in the DC Madam scandal and he went on to serve for ten more years and the only person who lost a job was the reporter who asked him about it?
In her first Q as an I, Sinema raised a lot less money than almost anyone thought she would while also only raising just $5,500 from small-dollar donors
Meanwhile, Gallego raised $3.7m from >100K donations & 98% of donors are small-dollar donors who chipped in less than $100🤔
We need to take a long look at all the places Dem $$$ went this cycle.
From The Lincoln Project to Amy McGrath, liberals need to stop setting money on fire.
The Lincoln Project raised $67 million. Republican Voters Against Trump raised $10 million.
93% of Republicans voted for Trump in 2020, up from 90% in 2016.
On Face the Nation’s pre-tape, moderator Margaret Brennan asks Bernie Sanders repeatedly if he’d support the eventual Democratic nominee, including if it were Pete Buttigieg & Mike Bloomberg. He says yes. Interesting given that he says he will do so in nearly every stump speech.
Yeah, what’s
@AOC
thinking? Doesn’t she know if Joe Crowley wasn’t going to have that seat then it should’ve gone to someone else named Crowley?
Because that’s how things are supposed to work in Queens County, right?
Democrats threaten to unseat one of their most popular members: AOC.
Simply amazing:
“She’s pissing off a lot of people and has probably made a lot of enemies. A lot of people who are furious with her are Joe’s allies, including some named Crowley.”

Oz needed numbers comparable to Trump in the areas outside the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia media markets.
He is not.

Like,

Not sure how
@PeteButtigieg
will end up faring in the presidential, but one thing that’s clear from conversations I’ve had with him, interviewing him and reading his book: he’s operating at a different intellectual level — a much higher one — than the vast majority of politicians
Biden is talking about his experience in the Anita Hill hearings: "She paid a terrible price," he says. "To this day, I wish I could have done something."
When Obama stayed focus on his message, it was called “disciplined.”
When Warren focuses on her message, it’s called, “my way or the highway.”
This is not subtle.
Josh Fucking Gottheimer -- who voted with Rs to put kids in cages -- has the audacity here to say *Bernie* declared war on the Democratic Party.
That's pretty special.
We interviewed 93(!) superdelegates and found big Stop Sanders movement.
*Some hope for a contested convention
*Others begging Obama to get involved
*Some hoping for white knight-could Sherrod Brown or even Pelosi -- become the nominee

In NYC, every single kid - all 1.1 million of them — has access to a free lunch.
No stigma. No shame. Just a hot meal if they want it.
Also, free breakfast.
This is the model for the nation.
“In schools nationwide, students have been branded with stamps, given unappealing cheese sandwiches, or even had their lunches thrown away after employees discovered that they were in arrears.” National emergency.
How do we keep having cable panels all in agreement saying
@AOC
must adjust to be part of the system?
When are they going to understand that the system is broken and maybe, just maybe,
@aoc
is onto something?
There's been lots of finger pointing towards the "Green New Deal" and "Defund the Police" as reasons why Democrats underperformed this cycle.
Those issues are not costing us races. Letting the GOP define those issues for us is. There's a difference.
This a lie. And to equate shortening a video for twitter versus what the veritas folks did is absurd. You know there is a longer video because Sunrise posted that as well. And the long video is plenty bad.
