Just in from @ellee_watson of @CBSNews - A U.S. official confirms American forces have conducted a few additional strikes on military targets in Iran today "to eliminate emerging threats." The strikes so far today have hit a small number of targets, according to the official.

This ad is a great example of how outsider, anti-establishment politics can come from different ideological factions inside the dem party.

📺 We’re launching the first ad of our campaign today. It’s called ‘Machine.’ I first ran for Mayor as an independent to clean up a corrupt city hall and fight for a government that actually serves the people it represents. They called our campaign "Paige Against the Machine." Now I’m taking on the machine again – this time by running for Congress to root out the culture of corruption in Washington.

Just listened to this *fascinating* interview with @maggieNYT and unfortunately for her I have 20 new questions for every one she answered. I loved the last third where she talked about her reporting process and takes on a lot of her critics open.spotify.com/episode/5Izlf8…

If you think it is because you are a mendacious asshole, congratulations you got me dead to rights
Ryan Grim@ryangrim
Cory Booker campaign manager is not a fan of mine. I wonder why.

Can’t say I expected this throwaway tweetto catch fire but what can I say Ryan Grim sucks?

That this guy is relevant and has a following is a real collective failure of all of us

@ASDem An example of good people inside an often broken system!

Nearly everyone hates political consultants (in abstract, at least.) So why do they still exist and have so much power? Let me explain… open.substack.com/pub/amandalitm…

Actually the 2020 Dem primary debates were the most important moment in modern American politics and 2028 should build on that model by doing a debate every week in all 50 states and territories for over a year straight. No undercard either. I want 50 people cross talking.

I’m not sure I would go with most important, but if I had a Substack (don’t and won’t) I would write something about how the 2016 primary never resolved and how 2028 in likely going to be the dramatic climax (conclusion?) of what is now a 13-year intraparty war.

He should do the decent thing and drop out before 5 pm so his less-culpable staff (field organizers) have enough time to properly drink themselves into oblivion

Every day I realize that the most important event in American political history was the 2016 Democratic presidential primary. It is the ur-text, the Rosetta Stone.

Trump: "Spain is a wasted cause. We don't want to do any trade business with Spain anymore, by the way. I'd like to cut it off. Spain is a terrible partner in NATO. Cut off all trade with Spain, please. Including visits. We don't want anything to do. They're hopeless. Bad people."

@damanr At the very least, Elam +5 or something. Would be so fun.

Free throw rule is stupid but I’d be interested in a sudden death 2OT for the regular season (playoffs should remain unlimited OT)

@ASDem All I read is that you are now 46 and your back must hurt daily.

I am an immigrant. I came to America 35 years ago today - yes, on the Fourth of July, 1991 - at 11 years old. Canada is next door but across that border is a different world from the Atlanta of the early 90s where I moved. Today, I am more American than I ever was Canadian.

But it is just as much about the fact that I deeply believe in America and want it to be more perfect for people who are here and want to be here. It’s a privilege to be earn a living trying to do that. Happy 250th to our special, generous, flawed, exceptional country.

For 6 months, I looked around for something else that could get me up
In the morning like politics can. I failed miserably. I readily admit it is partially because I love the game.
