The Platner story shows how political consultants should not parachute into a state and pick a candidate. There were a bunch of solid Democratic candidates in the state. Maybe the elites don’t know better than the people who actually live in the state?

Absolutely not. @schatz.bsky.social will become the LEADER of the Senate Democrats, not #2. If the @democrats.org reelect @schumer.senate.gov this life long Democrat is done.

Sen. Brian Schatz, who many believe will take over the No. 2 role in the Democratic caucus next year, has a warning for President Donald Trump: He could be dealing with a very different Washington if Democrats achieve the electoral gains they’re hoping for this fall. https://cnn.it/3QCEV23

Jeffries: Pam Bondi has been fired. She deserves to be fired. She’s the most corrupt attorney general in modern American history—a complete and total disgrace. But just because she’s been fired doesn’t mean she doesn’t have to comply with the subpoena

No war with Iran.
 There was no imminent threat. There is no clear objective. I will NOT support a war of choice that puts American lives in harm’s way.

Swalwell: ICE agents shot Alex Pretti and Renee Good. And the only person in the world who has been held accountable by DHS is the pilot who somehow forgot to move Kristi Noem’s blankie.

Trump's awful post about Alex Pretti am confirms this point -- he's not sorry, he's not pivoting, and he'll use the same playbook as ever to survive yet another scandal that would have destroyed any other politician my new column: www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

Looking at the mug shots Bondi posted of folks who allegedly impeded ICE officers... I'm reminded me of some of the iconic 1960s images of 'criminals' from counter sitins and freedom rides

The administration’s continued attacks on the Federal Reserve threaten its independence and will further destabilize the economy. These political attacks undermine the rule of law and will only increase costs for all Americans.

Homeowners shouldn’t subsidize luxury landlords. Let’s tax large, income-producing high-rises differently than single-family homes and condos—and give real relief to the people.

ICE has become an instrument of fear, not an arm of the law. Congress should launch an impeachment inquiry into the DHS Secretary. She must answer for her leadership failure, and learn firsthand what due process looks like.

@repauchincloss.bsky.social is a leader we need in this perilous time. #mapoli

Leaving the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension out of the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's tragic death is wrong. They worked seamlessly with the FBI on Hortman & Annunciation cases—shutting them out now undermines trust and objectivity.

Frey: "I think [Vance] also asserted that because you work at the federal government you somehow have absolutely immunity from committing crimes. That's not true in any law school in America, whether it's Yale or Villanova or anywhere else. That's not true."

Frey: So, they are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense. Having seen the video of myself, I want to tell everybody directly: That is bullshit.

Walz: "If they have emails showing that I have committed fraud, you should get those! Why aren't they putting them out there? Why aren't they turning them over to prosecutors? Right now they're hiding behind a veil of innuendo. They're protecting the biggest fraudster in the White House."

Make no mistake: January 6, 2021 was a deadly attempted coup to overturn a democratic election—emboldened by Donald Trump and carried out by people using force and firearms to stop the peaceful transfer of power. 🧵

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history. Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸
