The Hill literally ranked staffers by their looks for 14 years, give me a break.
The Hill drops out of future White House Correspondents Dinners: “In short, there's simply no reason for us to participate in something that casts our profession in a poor light. Major changes are needed to the annual event.”

Look, I get the jokes, but at the end of the day, he’s modeling good behavior that protects not only himself & his staff, but the 100s or 1,000s of people he would likely interact with on planes, trains, elevators, congressional meetings, fundraisers, etc. Thank you, Senator.
Sen. Cruz will remain home in Texas this week "out of an abundance of caution" after being informed he had brief conversation and handshake 10 days ago at CPAC with a person who has tested positive for COVID-19.

- Omar reps a D+26 district
- Tlaib reps a D+33 district
- Iowa elected 2 R Senators + R’s to all but two statewide offices. Districts are D+1, D+1, R+1, & R+11
- Winning Dem primaries w/ progressive message is easy. Winning red states/electoral college in a general is not (1/)
Can someone break down the “progressivism doesn’t work in the midwest” thing?
- Ilhan reps Minnesota
- Rashida reps Michigan
-
#GreenNewDeal

#MedicareForAll
are polling as top issues in Iowa
- The progressive message WON in 2016 primaries
So what do these folks really mean?

I’m not even a conservative and I find the idea that Candace Owens is representative of the conservative movement offensive.
Now it’s a Weekly Standard writer calling Candace Owens a grifter. The other day it was a National Reviee writer saying she’s destroying conservatism.

It’s not that progressive candidates can’t succeed anywhere in the Midwest, it’s that they can’t succeed everywhere in the Midwest.
Electeds should be representative of constituents. If constituency is moderate—as most Midwest statewides are—candidates should reflect that. (2/)

Final thought—and this is speculative—but I truly believe if we unrig GOP gerrymandering in 2021, Dems will win more seats on the merits of our beliefs + policies.
But... this also means we’ll have more moderate/center districts which will need a Big Tent Dem Party to win. (4/)

Hi. Digital Director here. 👋
This is all bologna.
Social platforms regularly remove bots & other accounts that break their TOS.
Political accounts are magnets for bots, & therefore see clear drops when sweeps occur. I’ve seen this on every Dem account I’ve ever managed too.
I’ve lost 50k+ followers this week. The radical left and their big tech allies cannot marginalize, censor, or silence the American people. This is not China, this is United States of America, and we are a free country.

Also the gender dynamics at play here. Women disproportionately take on/are volun-told for emotional office labor (who sends around the bday card, who brings in baked goods, who organizes and cleans up parties).
It’s been a f***ing relief to have so much of that removed in WFH.
