@ZaidJilani Occam's razor is he knows something much more damaging is coming ( he knows what and who he "sexted") and there's no point doing that kind of thing first .

I think Platner will win regardless, but if I was him I’d start doing more to capture people’s attention with proposals or gimmicks.
You don’t wanna rely on just “well I’m better than the other guy.”
I would do videos about health care, corruption, war, etc.

@umichvoter I'm pretty confident GP will be fine if there is nothing much worse coming -It's a really good bet something much worse is coming and GP knows it but doesn't give AF .

Reaction to the oppo dump against Platner is high but very little public polling lately
End of the day it's all about what voters think is a deal breaker

A truly horrendous take from Adrian Beltre - Wander Franco was found criminally responsible for the sexual and psychological abuse of a minor.
His MLB career is over - the U.S. Department of State will deny a work visa to anyone convicted of a crime involving moral turpitud.

@MSPLightRailCar @umichvoter Have to hope in person /late Dems skew very differently -not just more Dem overall

@LinkofSunshine I do agree ( and I live close to this one ) that 3 Dems running in it was absurd.

@umichvoter And will only go lower and laters come in -almost no one wants to waste votes on either side with this stupid system.

LA hot take.
In 2022 @RickCarusoLA came out of election night with a 5-pt lead on @KarenBassLA, and ended up losing by 7pts.
The early vote in LA is 14-pts more Rep, more male, and older Dems are voting later.
An early number of 40% for @spencerpratt is possible.
But that number is not durable. It plummets with the later ballots.

RETWEET if you support Scott Pelley after CBS News has just fired him.

@SteveKrak Nah more like an elimination of people who won't whore themselves to a child raping traitor ....

With Stephen Colbert and Scott Pelley now out the door at CBS, we're seeing the systematic elimination of smug, old, straight, white guys who think they're better than you.

#SCOOP: Scott Pelley had a meeting with CBS News leadership at 5pm ET to discuss a path forward after his protest in 60 Minutes all-hands. The two sides did not find common ground and it now seems likely he will either resign or be fired, though neither has happened yet. More to come… @PuckNews

Looks like the "anti-weaponization fund" is off the table: "The Department will abide by the Court’s ruling"
This likely clears way for Senate GOP to pass the $70 billion immigration enforcement funding bill in the coming days, assuming ballroom security stays out of bill
U.S. Department of Justice@TheJusticeDept
The Department of Justice disagrees strongly with the decision on the Anti-Weaponization Fund put forth by the United States District Court Judge in the Eastern District of Virginia, wherein the Court stated that, under no circumstances, may the Department of Justice proceed with the Anti-Weaponization Fund recently established in order to make up for the tremendous abuse, harm, and hate unfairly shown to so many people. This Fund was open to anybody who was so weaponized, targeted, or persecuted, whether they were Democrat, Republican, Conservative, Independent, or otherwise. The Department will abide by the Court’s ruling.

@reesejgorman That's not "dropping it" that's saying the will abide by a ruling

News: Trump plans to drop the weaponization fund, per a source.
The conversation between Speaker Mike Johnson and Trump earlier today helped convince the president to drop the weaponization fund, source added
The fund received significant backlash from Hill Republicans and a number of House Republicans were looking for ways to stop this fund from happening.
Story TK.

Bombshell: The #Browns are finalizing a trade of Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the #Rams in a shocker, sources tell me, @TomPelissero & @AdamSchefter.
Cleveland would send Garrett to LA in exchange for star edge Jared Verse, a first-rounder, and more.

@ZhouJaron If the point was to win it was his only shot and they played it right -if the point is to have a candidate advance to help the party or whatever then they screwed up.
English
Hilton notably did not really go after Bianco in any of the California Governor debates — at that time it still looked like 2 Republicans could advance (always a very long shot).
Wonder if the state GOP is regretting not consolidating behind one candidate now.
Steve Hilton@SteveHiltonx
Unless we unite we'll get an all-Dem general election: Becerra vs Steyer. No change for California, disaster for every Republican running this year, Voter ID... ONE MAN can stop the Doomsday Scenario! Chad, the best time to drop out was two weeks ago. The second best is now...
