Q:
Is 2024 the next big test for their strength as a voting bloc?
My A:

Folks. I know it's a lot to ask to pay attention to any one thing while so much is going on. I know we're paying attention to what's happening in Red States. It's scary. Important.
I'm asking you also to pay attention to what's going on right now in Democratically controlled NY.

Great news for DACA recipients! President Biden announced a new program for health care coverage!
Quote Tweet
Today, my Administration is announcing our plan to expand health coverage for Dreamers, the thousands of young people brought to the U.S. as kids.
We’re not done fighting for their pathway to citizenship, but we're getting them the opportunities they deserve in the meantime.

"Many of the developments in states controlled by Republicans are the result of careful, long-term planning by conservative strategists."
Key words here for Democrats to learn from: long-term!

Replying to @ryanjreilly
Here’s a Newsweek story that gets into the “cult deprogrammer” thing. Not a heap of info yet, but the news networks are probably tripping over each other to get an interview with this guy — and the deprogrammer.

As I travel across the state, so many folks ask me about Democratic messaging. Without equivocation, I always say is the best messaging expert we have right now. Follow her and watch as you start to win over those hearts and minds.

Any consideration of persuasive and/or galvanizing messaging must come only after a clear theory of change. Who do you need to persuade and/or activate in order to win the changes you seek?

HB 1110, the middle housing bill, passed on a big bipartisan vote of 35-14 in the Senate. 
Now the two chambers will have to decide how to proceed with two different bill versions. #Waleg @YesHomes4WA @jessdbateman @SenatorTrudeau

Bidenomics is working. Millions of new jobs have been created, unemployment is at record lows, and wages are increasing. But beyond these metrics, we’ve been able to prove that you can build an economy that works from the middle-out and the bottom-up. 🧵

After we announced our actions last week to protect access to mifepristone, it's heartening to see other states doing the same. To be clear: no matter the outcome of the TX case, WA's laws ensure we will be able to sell and distribute this medication.

Gone like an office chair 😉 Tim Eyman’s wasteful advisory votes will no longer clutter our ballots, leading to easier voting for new voters, and more votes in down-ballot races! All this bill needs now is Gov Inslee’s signature to become law! #WALeg

Last week, we saw 680+ people sign up to run for office.
This is the most sign-ups in a week this year & NEARLY DOUBLE our weekly average.
10% of those who signed up to run last week were from Tennessee + nearly half were born after 1994.

The wage gap is holding women back—and it's especially bad for women of color. My #PaycheckFairness Act would take much-needed steps to help close the wage gap for women across every industry.

#SuccesionHBO was a true gut punch tonight. Watching tonight’s episode missing my mom and reliving that feeling of shock and trauma of her loss. What a powerful hour of television.
