@benjamingedan They move the dial negatively. America’s standing is crashing around the world. Trump effect.

High-level travel shapes public opinion overseas (Goldsmith et al., 2021), but then again, America First deliverables do not seem to move the dial.

New: Susie Wiles has told cabinet officials no more foreign travel unless absolutely necessary, and that all international travel must be approved by her. It comes after Sec. Brooke Rollins’ “aggressive international travel” last year to Vietnam, Japan, India, Peru, Brazil, and the UK last year. Wiles wants the cabinet focused on domestic travel ahead of midterms w/ @dlippman politico.com/newsletters/we…

Democrats have benefitted from Republicans running politically extreme candidates in otherwise winnable Senate races
Are Democrats in danger of returning the favor in Michigan?

Hasan Piker should have no safe refuge in the Democratic Party. The sooner we make that clear, the sooner we, as Democrats, will get back to winning tough elections.

5 years ago, Democrats introduced a bill to ban gerrymandering in every state nationwide.
Every single Republican voted against it.

"those seeking greater democracy and freedom in Venezuela now face another challenge that their predecessors did not: they will likely have little help from the United States...now up to opposition forces to find ways to pressure" the US and the regime.

The insufferable Jonah Goldberg finds it inappropriate to ask nominees basic factual question as a test of whether they will speak obvious truths to power.

I get being annoyed when Elizabeth Warren (who I find insufferable) or other Democrats play gotcha by asking “Do you believe Donald Trump lost in 2020?” You know what would have spared Republicans the embarrassment and annoyance of these questions? If Trump hasn’t lied about winning and hadn’t tried to steal the election.

If you’re mad about Virginia, support a national gerrymandering ban.
If you’re not willing to take map-drawing away from politicians in every state, you’re not mad about gerrymandering. You’re mad your side lost this round.

I’ve warned Democrats for months about Hasan Piker’s efforts to insert himself into our party.
Read my op-ed in The Washington Post about why the normalization of Piker within the Democratic Party is a mistake Democrats cannot afford to make. wapo.st/4cyGZyT

It’s time for the governor & senators to step in. Democrats have an anti-Semitism problem & nowhere is it worse than Michigan’s state party. But worth noting that a lot of the state parties on both sides are disasters in one way or another.

"It's extensive," said University of Michigan Regent Jordan Acker, when asked about the level of antisemitism in the state party. "The question we have to ask as Jews is whether we still belong here?"
English
Michigan Democrats nominate for University of Michigan Board of Regents an attorney who has shared pro-Hezbollah and anti-semitic tweets.
Sick.

@DjsokeSpeaking Instead of guarantee, how about “risk”?

I do think the algorithm feeds into it and gives imbalanced exposure (def true in our primary) but the hyperbolism is insane lmao
That AES would *guarantee* a loss in a year as blue as this is silly. Calling MM a centrist or casting her as a secret Sinema is silly!

This is gross, and MCM and those around her should condemn this racist language unequivocally.

The madman schtick is now more counterproductive than ever. Iran will read this as just more bluster and knows that US blowing up power plants would make the war even more of a disaster for US and Trump himself...
It would do nothing to secure the HEU, open the Strait, or end the war, but it would cause oil prices to spike, destabilize markets, lead to retaliation that would put the lives of US troops and civilians in the region at risk and further destroy energy infrastructure, and be a permanent moral stain on the United States and Trump.
Trump had the chance weeks ago to declare victory and get out but nearly everything he has done since then has made things worse--including this latest desperate and counterproductive threat.

A lot going on here, but upshot is that there will be no response to Iran attacking shipping, US will maintain the "blockade," and talks are still on track (though delayed somewhat).
