I asked DSA congressional candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier (NY-13) about several of her previously deleted tweets, including one that read that “all deportations are wrong.” Here’s what she said:

On CNN: I don’t think we should Trump’s goal for the SAVE America Act through the lens of passage. He is trying to create a narrative cloud that hangs over the midterm elections, and we should not rule out things like him declaring a national emergency ahead of November. Even Trump’s fights with R Senators help create that pretense On Erin Burnett OutFront with Erin Burnett: Watch 📺:

Zohran Mamdani has accrued political capital to spend it. That’s what tonight’s primaries in NYC are about. But pissing off the establishment doesn’t just mean white guys in DC. There’s a Black Democratic establishment and a Latino one too — and the rise of anti corporate, movement based politics is also disrupting their grip on power 📺: On The Arena on CNN w/ Abby D. Phillip

Big donor perspective: John Morgan says there little appetite for a Kamala Harris campaign in 2028 among Democratic elites — who play a crucial early role But there is also a fear of public criticism, as it can be seen as racist/sexist

Michigan Senate candidate Dr. Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is running on an expansive progressive platform. But he’s not calling for a data center moratorium. Why?

Voter resentment of Dems leftward turn was largely abt perceived focus on cultural issues. So to blanketly apply that to Sanders/Mamdani ignores the class forward nature of their message. The DSA “left” didn’t drive the Dems embrace identity politics wokeness etc. It was really the establishment class, where things like DEI and representation began to displace policies with tangible impact. That’s what electorate resented On CNN Elex Night coverage with Abby D. Phillip

Most of our American political language for race and elections is still built from decades-old examples, like the 1960s civil rights era or the Chicano movement. But the country isn't living there anymore. Younger voters are increasingly immigrants, mixed-race kids, people who never fit either box. And the mismatch between how we talk about identity and it's realities is part of our misunderstanding of the electorate On Raging Moderates with Jessica Tarlov:

There is clearly a coordinated Vance 2028 effort (Rubio’s statements, Erika Kirk endorsement) but he deserves some of the same skepticism that once faced Harris. He has three more years of publicly defending an unpopular president, who’s trending downward. He’s lost his outsider credentials. Also MAGA may not do what they’re told! A famously rowdy bunch On CNN Inside Politics w/ Manu Raju

We should say it: candidacies like Graham Platner in Maine or Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan have not grown in spite of establishment targeting, but somewhat because of it. Base anger after 2024 is palpable. And some Democrats want not just an elected who will oppose Trump and Republicans, but one who will also change their own party from within.

New reporting about Graham Platner is serious, corroborated — and damning. And while the rescinded endorsements will sting, and the DSCC statement spells doom for his candidacy, it’s the fact that he seemingly lied to supporters that I expect to do him in.

When Trump announced his big UFC fight in DC — I knew I had to go. Not for the sport itself, but as a chance to talk to a increasingly important voting demo: young men — Trump was +1 with men under 30 in 2024 — Recent polls show him underwater by 50+ with the same group So have the boys really turned on Trump? And what does that mean for 2028?
