>“We have the power of the purse,” Raskin told me. Given this White House has already openly flouted all concepts of appropriation, it concerns me that senior Democrats actually still believe this.

NEWS --> Dems are planning novel ways to wield power of the purse against Trump's corrupt prosecutions of critics like Ilhan Omar if they win House. Reps Pramila Jayapal and Jamie Raskin tell me a range of aggressive tactics will be deployed. Details in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/2171...

Rightwing politics is a smash and grab operation. Crude, violent rhetoric to get attention. Grandiose promises. Chest-pounding to convey energy. Menacing the polls. Once elected, bullying and defiance of all restraint in order to hold power. People are sick of it.

New in PN: Ramaswamy discovers that voters have their limits "This is the nature of today’s right-wing bubble, whose residents are not only acculturated to a particular political style — cruel, often hateful — but become convinced it’s the only effective way to do politics, & any other way is weak"

At a campaign stop in Mobile on Tuesday, a journalist from Lagniappe Daily asked him about his promise to donate his Senate salary to Alabama veterans, a promise he never kept. It was an entirely reasonable question, one Alabama veterans have been asking for years. - Doug Jones Newsletter

I take my right to vote so seriously because people DIED fighting for it. Black men gained voting rights in 1870, but Jim Crow laws, violence, and intimidation kept generations from the ballot box. It took until 1965 to pass the Voting Rights Act. #ElectionHeroesVoteEarly 🧵
