Every Hill staffer should make sure their boss reads this. Trump is pulling agents off child-exploitation, trafficking, and terrorism-finance cases to bulk up its political deportation push. This isn’t just a shift in priorities. It’s a blow to public safety.

.@TheDemocrats must recognize that Zohran Mamdani is the party's future, but unfortunately, it's the Republican Party.

Trump said he would lower prices on his first day. Instead, he has done the exact opposite by raising prices with his tariffs and skyrocketing health care premiums.

It’s flu season, and Americans are at a higher risk of sicknesses, diseases, and infections due to Trump and RFK’s recklessness.

"Every Democrat and allied interest group is going to end their circular firing squad and aim all of their ammunition at Trump," Jon Cowan told @Reuters. Trump and Congressional Republicans are at fault for raising health care costs. We won't let Americans forget that.
A weekend deal to end the longest US government shutdown in history divided Senate Democrats and angered the party's vocal liberal base, who turned their vitriol on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for the second time this year

"If Democrats want to keep winning in purple areas in 2026 and beyond, they need to address people's real concerns," said @Tom_Suozzi. That starts with affordability. Read more. ⤵️

Swing voters are "deeply disgusted with the far left and the far right and express their fury every election cycle against the party they believe is more ideologically extreme and out of touch," TW's Jon Cowan told the @WSJ. Whichever party owns the center owns the country.
U.S. elections are sending a consistent message: Americans are deeply frustrated with their government’s inability to solve problems

"Dems will aggressively prosecute the case against Republicans on health care," @ThirdWayMattB tells @lisakashinsky. "They will say Republicans yanked lifesaving money away from millions of Americans to fund tax cuts for the rich. And that will have the benefit of being true.”

Brilliant column from Tom Suozzi on where Democrats need to go. Every national and state party chair should read and so should Dem elected officials. https://t.co/dqhZU9UO0Y

“A New Kind of Old Fashioned Democrat!” The Democratic Party must return to its roots and get back to fighting for the middle-class and those aspiring to it. Read my op-ed in Newsday. https://t.co/UTUWS7JAFQ

An unlikely group that helped @SpanbergerforVA win on Tuesday: rural voters who had previously supported Trump. His tariffs have had a real impact on people, and they're looking for something different. Moderate Democrats can offer that option in 2026.

The governor-elect deviated from past Democrats’ strategies by spending time in deep-red rural Virginia.

New Jersey and Virginia had historic gubernatorial wins this week. We polled voters from those states ahead of election day. Here were our key takeaways: 1️⃣ Both governors-elect were seen as authentic, credible, and accomplished 2️⃣ They were seen as a different type of Democrat

"While largely overlooked, these results offer a pill to fight the fever dream that if socialism can win in New York, it can win anywhere," @washingtonpost's editorial board wrote yesterday on the moderate Democratic wins nationwide. Moderate Democrats are the majority makers.

Voters want candidates who are strong, relatable, mainstream, and not afraid to buck their party’s extremes—not convinced? They told us themselves. We polled NJ and VA voters ahead of their historic Democratic wins. @daveweigel has more on it in @semafor today. ⬇️

To win tough elections, candidates must reach a majority of moderate voters. Two of our next governors did so this week. @MikieSherrill won 62% of moderate voters in New Jersey, and @SpanbergerForVA won 69% of moderate voters in Virginia. They are the future.
"Mamdani won 35% of moderate voters in New York City, and if you’re a presidential candidate, or a governor or a senator who gets 35% of the moderate vote, you don’t win,” @ThirdWayKessler said. https://t.co/Erqy45heam

New York City’s mayor-elect had a historic campaign. Now he has to govern as his party closely watches.

Nancy Pelosi is a titan of American politics, a legislative and strategic master, and a friend of Third Way who knew that moderates were her majority makers. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Let me be the millionth person to note that Nancy Pelosi is a political giant. Her legacy dwarfs those of many of the men whose names adorn big buildings in DC. She is irreplaceable, and we will miss her terribly when she leaves Congress.
