Hey folks,
We just wrapped a live episode of Endless Urgency with my friend Shasti Conrad, Vice Chair of the DNC and Chair of the Washington State Democrats. Let me tell you: this was a must-watch. The news is coming in hot, and Shasti brings clarity and real talk to all of it—from indictments and messaging failures to the future of the Democratic Party. Here’s what we talked about:
[00:01:18] Shasti reacts to the reported indictments of James Comey and Letitia James, calling it a clear abuse of power and part of Trump’s revenge tour
[00:04:00] Why stories like Tom Homan’s bribery scandal disappear overnight—and how that chaos is a tool of authoritarianism
[00:06:45] The core messaging mistake Democrats keep making and why it’s time to focus on self-interest, not just good intentions
[00:11:01] Shasti shares why she ran for DNC Vice Chair and what real messaging progress looks like inside the party
[00:19:03] Why big, messy primaries are essential to building talent, tech, and strategy—and how the party got weaker by avoiding them
With urgency,
—Mike
