@JewishHispanic @AlDefinitely @umichvoter she's going for that AIPAC money b/c Stevens is tanking in the polls. Cynical as hell. That's why she's joining Republicans attacking El-Sayed and Piker. Bipartisanship on behalf of wealthy donors.

Has there really been a McMorrow implosion though? I feel like it's more just been a left twitter losing their minds over her in the past couple weeks out of nowhere more than McMorrow actually losing steam in reality.
Claudia Sheinbaum Fan Account@Weasel9100
I’m honestly kinda blown away by how fast the McMorrow campaign is imploding. She went from arguably frontrunner to desperately begging for debates and Cuomo/Janet Mills-style smear campaigns in like a week

@RadioFreeTom It’s lower than that in most averages and I suspect all will hit 35

Amazing that the floor is still around 40 percent, which suggests that Trump voters are simply never going to admit how they feel to a pollster.
Simon Rosenberg@SimonWDC
Charted Trump's job approval in polls from Quantus Insights, among the most pro-Trump pollsters out there. This is the stuff folks on the right are seeing. Ugly!!!!

One should take note that a serious run by Rashida Tlaib, particularly if it means a run after the Iowa Caucus, will probably mean Tlaib giving up her House seat
soul khan@soulkhan
rashida tlaib is a much better candidate to reach rightly jaded voters and would have a nationwide zohran effect. and if name rec is a hollow objection, keep in mind that when bernie was really on fire in 2016, he was less of a known celebrity politician than aoc is now

@bdquinn I would honestly hold my nose for Rogers
Also kudos to whichever dem group dumped that to ensure it came out now

Big marks against AES on two fronts here:
1. What he said.
2. That his campaign is apparently so shoddily run that such a devastating leak occurred.
He's clearly not cut out to hold that Senate seat for the Dems in November. He would almost certainly lose.

Exclusive audio: Michigan's left-wing Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed told staffers he wanted to avoid making a public statement about the assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei because "there are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad" via @alanagoodman @FreeBeacon - freebeacon.com/democrats/ther…

“Boy I tell ya, I don’t get no respect. I told my wife, I sez ‘CHH says as your husbands no other man can satisfy you like me’ My wife says you can’t believe everything you read online”

lol yes married 45 yr old women are known for their *voracious* & deeply satisfying sex lives w/ their husbands 😆
CHH isn’t lying, it’s just an artifact t of happy couples necessarily rating e writhing better than unhappy ones…and I suspect her survey takers are broadly happy
Cartoons Hate Her!@CartoonsHateHer
Married mothers, especially over 40, are usually stereotyped as being uninterested in sex, or "boring" in bed. But according to my most recent survey (and backed up by more legitimate sources) they're actually having the best sex of all. Link in replies.

@BillMelugin_ @MattFinnFNC Yikes? So you think this hurts him in the democrat party?
English
Yikes. They've got the audio too. Wild that this call with his staffers leaked like this.

@Mike_from_PA @umichvoter Ultimately he’s a loser. Mcmorrow is a winner.

@umichvoter It’s probably a mossad operation, unless there is an actual claimed source

There's someone in his circle with not great intentions it appears
Kirk A. Bado@kirk_bado
Incredible that this call between El-Sayed and his comms team leaked in such stunning detail

Our biggest strategic blunder continues to be kid gloving Russia.
Yaroslav Trofimov@yarotrof
Considering that the E-3 AWACS plane seems to be on the taxiway at Prince Sultan base, and how precisely it was hit in the radar dome area, I am wondering whether Iran managed to pull off its own Spiderweb operation with remotely piloted FPV drones (perhaps using the Saudi cellphone network.) This strike also required a high level of satellite ISR that Iran probably can’t get on its own. Russia? In any case, this was not the result of a lucky missile spraying debris.

@soulkhan Are you high? Taib might not win a single state in a general election

Hot Take Sommelier (Punished)@KraushTakes
The obvious fact that a lot of socialists are tiptoeing around is that we need to intervene in the 2028 presidential election, and AOC is the obvious best candidate. If DSA doesn't endorse her, what are we doing here?
English
A counterpoint to this is that Bernie in 2016 had the benefit of being one of only two real candidates in the field while an AOC alternative in 2028 will have to compete for name rec against a historically large field of candidates, many of which will be co-opting left messaging.

@admcrlsn Heh honestly that’s probably a good idea for now. Getting control of the country back is probably more important right now.

@JewishHispanic It is literally the opposite of what he’s saying, he wants the national party to shift on it
English
Or — and bear with me here — Mary Peltola can run her own race on issues that are locally relevant without concerning herself with what stance the national party has on Alaska’s natural resources
In fact, it’ll help her stand out as more independent if she bucks the party on it
Matthew Yglesias@mattyglesias
Every Democrat is excited about this poll. Every Democrat is going to be thrilled if Peltola wins. And every Democrat who feels that way should want the national party to adopt views on Alaska’s natural resources that help her win, you’ll be thrilled if she does.

Ukrainian special forces carried out an incredible operation — they allegedly stole several fully fueled and armed combat aircraft directly from Russian airfields. HUR pilots stormed the parking areas, neutralized security, and flew the aircraft to Ukraine.
Impressive footage has already appeared: Russian Su-34s and bombers with Russian markings are seen landing at Ukrainian airfields under the escort of Ukrainian fighter jets.
Russian sources reported that, over time, 59 aircraft and helicopters were stolen, with some of them ending up in Ukraine. This was reported by the Russian outlet Izvestia, adding that some of the aircraft were later used in the war on Ukraine’s side against Russia itself. Because of this, the FSB has reportedly carried out a series of searches within Rosaviatsia as part of related criminal investigations.
According to Rosaviatsia, 36 out of the 59 aircraft disappeared in connection with being sold abroad. Of these, eight were sold to countries considered “unfriendly” by the aggressor. And these are only the confirmed cases — the ones the Kremlin allowed to be made public.
“Three Mi-8 helicopters later took part in the war on Ukraine’s side, while Il-76 aircraft transported cargo with their transponders turned off, concealing information about their movements,” Russian media also report.
It is also known that recently in Russia a Mi-8 helicopter simply disappeared during a training flight over a lake. There were three crew members on board.
The Mi-8 helicopter of Russia’s Ministry of Emergency Situations vanished from radar and stopped responding. This was reported by the Russian Emergencies Ministry, noting that a helicopter from the Northwestern Aviation Rescue Center lost contact during a training flight over Lake Onega.
Thus, the number of cases involving aircraft being transferred to Ukraine together with their crews is likely much higher than what Russian media are allowed to report.

@MattBoxer94 Nah. I’d rather have Mills but Collins can be and should be defeated either way.

Platner is unelectable
Adam Wren@adamwren
New in @playbookdc: Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner’s response to Janet Mills’ attack ad against his controversial old Reddit posts this week contains an unattributed quote. The campaign can’t point to an accurate citation of where it came from. politico.com/newsletters/pl…
