Summary

An investigation into coordinated messaging among Senate Democrats reveals a complex network including the Senate Democratic Media Center, key figures like Justin Goodman and Cory Booker, and committees like the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee that work together to align messaging and produce centralized digital content.

    🧵 I was curious about this coordination, so I dived into this with AI and came up with a lot of names. Thread follows: First off, the Senate Democratic Caucus operates a Senate Democratic Media Center (SDMC), which ā€œserves as a one-stop-shop for Democratic offices looking for high-level digital assets,ā€ providing video editors, studios, and digital strategists for coordinated content. AI speculates that content was centrally developed – most likely under the direction of Senate Democratic leadership’s communications arm – and then executed by the senators’ communications staff in coordination. But the rabbit hole doesn't end here. Hang on...

    This is the definition of ā€œThe Blob.ā€ Zero original thought. All reading off of the same script. All holding the DJI microphone trying to look like a Zoomer YouTuber. It’s the party of pure unfettered inauthenticity. A grift machine with replaceable parts.

    AI speculates one specific person is leading this: Justin Goodman, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's former communications director. And indeed, if you go to his website, his biography brags about him as ā€œthe chief spokesman for every Senate battle in recent memory.ā€

    In addition to Goodman, Schumer’s communications director and the staff at the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee (DPCC) or the Strategic Communications Committee (SCC) in the Senate likely spearheaded this effort. The DPCC/SCC is essentially the messaging and media strategy hub for Senate Democrats. AI speculates that SDMC’s Video Production Director Nora Younkin​ would have handled the technical creation of the videos.

    AI believes these efforts and decisions were done mostly in-house and there is no proof of it being influenced by external sources. However, PACs have backed communications messaging in the past. Soros is a top candidate.

    Overall, Senate Democrats play as a team and work in tight unison to get their messaging aligned.

    Who actually makes these decisions? It's likely Democratic Strategic Communications Committee, which is an "advisory board to the Democratic leadership and as a research, policy formulating, and communications arm of Senate Democrats." DSCC is now chaired by Senator Cory Booker, with Senator Tina Smith as Vice-Chair.

    This is a powerful position - the number four in Senate Democratic Leadership.

    Although the connection between those TikTok videos and SKDK is speculative, it's clear they have consulted many powerful Democrats past and future:
