We can’t say we’re surprised.

John,

Nothing says you’re in touch with working-class voters like holding a crypto-backed Napa Valley wine retreat for millionaire and billionaire donors in the middle of a potential government shutdown…

A screenshot from a Politico article reading: 'Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) has circulated an invitation obtained by Playbook for a 'Napa Retreat' for the DSCC on Oct. 13 and 14. Should the government shut down next week, the retreat could fall on what might be day 12 of a shutdown. The itinerary features accommodations at the Hotel Yountville, with a resort and spa that 'extends a Tuscan-European vibe,' and a wine tour and dinner at the Staglin Family Vineyards amid its wine caves. The plans for the luxury trip come amid Trump administration threats of mass firings of federal workers. A Democrat briefed on the event tells us it also is slated to include Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.), who is campaigning for her state’s open Senate seat as a gritty daughter of the Midwest. A Stevens invite establishes the closest link so far between Stevens and the DSCC’s preference for her in Michigan’s three-way primary among Stevens, state Sen. Mallory McMorrow and former public health official Abdul El-Sayed. The event is also said to feature a crypto roundtable on its sidelines, this person said.'

That’s exactly what DSCC chair and crypto cheerleader Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is doing next week. She’s inviting megadonors to a lavish fundraiser at a resort and spa, complete with dinner in a wine cave and a crypto roundtable, all for the people supposedly in charge of winning working-class voters back to regain Democratic majorities in Congress.

And it could be happening on Day 12 of a government shutdown, when federal workers may be out of work and services are paused for the people who need them.

We can’t say we’re surprised: this is exactly what we should have expected when the biggest corporate shills in the Democratic Party are still in the driver's seat.

They are the failures—not the future—of this Party.

Help us recruit, support, and elect more working-class, progressive candidates to challenge the out-of-touch, corporate establishment in 2026: rush a grassroots contribution of $5 or more before tomorrow’s end-of-quarter deadline.
