Because Axelrod knows politics. (Or he got lucky by being hired by Obama.)
“I think that he is a star,” David Axelrod tells VF, reacting to Jon Ossoff’s first debate with Mike Collins. But: “I haven’t seen him smile. I’ve never seen him smile. He’s always very severe. So there are other elements of campaigning that I would like to see.”

Looks like when you fall out of favor with Convicted Felon Trump the protection from investigation falls too
Corey Lewandowski was given special status in many ways by former DHS Sec. Kristi Noem, but they both got ousted in March. The Trump DOJ has now launched a criminal investigation into whether he profited from his job. I detail what the criminal investigation may reveal. youtu.be/UsL1sJIBc4o?...

This administration and Hegseth have abandoned our troops. We need to conduct oversight and ensure that our servicemembers have the support and resources they need. Hegseth should resign.

Either the President was lying or Musk was lying, but the decision to slow down satellite speed and access has life or death consequences for Ukraine. This deserves a full investigation by the Senate. Elon Musk should be compelled to testify before Congress and under oath.

Unbelievably horrible people. Ramswamy, mom, and the rapist

Rubio isn’t geographically competent enough to understand Cuba much less Ukraine

Sadly, people stopped donating to Democrats after smear campaigns against ActBlue took hold. (There’s not really another way to donate to democratic candidates. You may say “directly to the campaign,” but those go through ActBlue as well.)
Warnock: "I worry that Democrats are missing a real opportunity to invest in a serious & sustained way in the South. If we would just lean in and stay in through the election & after the election, the kind of victory you saw us achieve here in Georgia, it is achievable in a place like Mississippi."
