Hi, terrible
@ewarren
adviser here. Seeing her dancing and concluding it looks inauthentic/must have been done under instruction reveals everything about how you view powerful women and nothing about our joyful, compassionate, fearless, delightful genius of a boss. Thanks!
I know your terrible advisers told you to be more relatable and dance but really the trick is just being your authentic self. No more no less

You’d think the long history of “he’s just bullshitting, he’s not really doing it” takes being wrong, going all the way back to him even running in the primary, would slow down these knowing “oh, it’s just theatre” takes and cause people to take the danger here seriously
President Trump’s refusal to concede defeat is terrible for democracy, but ultimately a bad case of Trumpian bluster rather than an ominous portent of tanks in the streets.

Here’s
@ewarren
’s fundraising approach:
- Run her campaign on 100% grassroots donations
- Do whatever it takes to help the national, state, and local Democratic Party committees
It's how she's going to win -- and help Democrats up and down the ballot win, too.

3 of 6 conservative justices were appointed by GOP presidents who lost the national popular vote
5 of 6 conservative justices were confirmed by GOP Senate "majorities" that represented fewer actual people than the Democratic Senators at the time
Minority rule in every way
In a May CNN poll, Americans said, 66% to 34%, that they did not want the Supreme Court to completely overturn its decision. In CNN's polling dating back to 1989, the share of the public in favor of completely overturning Roe has never risen above 36%.
