Spoke with @NYMag for this piece and came away feeling genuinely optimistic. The Democratic bench is strong—we've got talent across the map with different approaches and ideas. Now if the gerontocracy can get out of the way (see Rebecca Traister's terrific piece)...

Who, beyond the well-known and much-profiled Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Zohran Mamdani, and Jon Ossoff, are the young people most likely to rebuild the Democratic Party? The bright lights of the next generation don’t fit into easy classifications. They include a seminarian, a waitress, an oysterman, and a semiconductor heiress. There are Bernie-endorsed socialists and iconoclastic centrists. Some are eyeing a national stage, others are staying adamantly local. Some already have a decade of experience; others are fresh upstarts proving themselves. We spent months talking with professionals who recruit and support young candidates to identify the party’s next generation, and we called dozens of political operatives, consultants, and strategists—and granted them all anonymity so they could dish about the nominees candidly. The nominators didn’t all agree, and, of course, had their own perspectives and agendas, but through those conversations, we found the 25 most promising rising Democratic leaders who have yet to become household names. Armed with our list of politicians under 40, photographer Elinor Kry hit the road in a minivan to meet and photograph a dozen or so of the next generation of Democrats. Kry shot her portfolio over a month, hauling a tufted armchair onto boats, truck beds, football fields, construction sites, and suburban cul-de-sacs to capture these officials and candidates on their home turf. Not all of these hopefuls will win their elections this month or next year, but all are worth watching. Although they don’t run the country yet, the visions of these young politicians speak to the problems the party is grappling with: how to deliver on working-class issues, expand the party’s tent while holding onto its values, and stand up to the current administration: nymag.com/intelligencer/…

"It is like living in a recurring nightmare." Survivors of an Israeli strike at a hospital complex in central Gaza described flames jumping from tent to tent, shrieks of agony and people fleeing past bodies charred and unrecognizable in the night. nyti.ms/3zOraoH

Haven't been able to stop thinking about this clip since I saw it. Forget the government euphemisms you hear about a "limited ground incursion" or "restoring deterrence" -- this is the reality of the war and why it has to end.

A heartbreaking and devastating scene: a Gazan child cries, "I want my mom," while his brother tries to console him. Their mother was killed by an Israeli airstrike on their home.

Thousands of families who’ve fled the conflict in south #Lebanon are living like this on the streets. They have next to nothing, and nowhere to go.

Body parts of Palestinians killed in Tulkarem were collected in a box and taken to a morgue.
739 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in the Occupied West Bank since October 7.

Be wary of the credulous takes about a new Middle East being forged through war.

Here is Netanyahu *22 years ago* arguing that a US invasion of Iraq "will have, I guarantee you, enormous positive reverberations on the region."

@BBCRosAtkins very graciously had me on his podcast "Communicating with Ros Atkins," where we chatted all things speeches. Our conversation is linked below -- but the whole series, with far more fascinating guests, is worth a listen. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

The obsession with Kamala's childlessness is fucking infuriating—and tells you everything you need to know.

Thinking of the extraordinary team of Biden staffers and civil servants who have worked their asses off and brought about a stunning amount of progress for the American people. We owe them — and President @JoeBiden — our gratitude.
Ben Rhodes@brhodes
Just like that, Americans see something transformational: a leader putting his country ahead of any personal interest or ambition. A seismic jolt of energy that raises the bar on all of us to get out there and do whatever it takes to win this election.

As speeches go, it seems like there's much more time being devoted to Dana White's vacation than to, say, his horrifying plans for the country or the concerns of the American people.

I don't know how to raise my daughter in a country where the Supreme Court is debating how many organs are ok for women to lose before providing healthcare

As I wrote last week in @Slate, in trying to be all things to all people, Haley has boxed herself in on race: slate.com/news-and-polit…

With one answer in a TV interview, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley again ignited a campaign trail debate about racism and its role in America. wapo.st/423z4UC

Some fear that criticizing Haley boosts Trump. But her hollowness as a candidate and unreliability as a leader means she cannot be trusted as a bulwark against her former boss.
