The stunning thing about this pile-on re: Fauci by a handful of GOP senators is the total lack of interest by these supposedly outraged senators at the person who had the power at the time. Fauci gave recommendations. Trump’s the one who had all the power. Their lack of interest in Trump’s role is an obvious tell. This is manufactured nonsense.
Rand Paul@RandPaul
What Anthony Fauci said in public was the complete opposite of what he wrote in his diary. Not only did he lie to the American people, but those lies led to his decisions that cost people their livelihoods, and in some cases, their lives.

I get that El-Sayed winning would be a big deal and I’ve written as much … but it’s a little weird how so many political commentators are acting as though we haven’t had 5 months of Dem primaries dominated by normie Democrats
David Weigel@daveweigel
El-Sayed is confident to the point of cockiness in a way you don't much see from Dems. Stevens tried to make this an issue... I really think that losing to Trump twice made Dems think "maybe we need a lax bro who'll knock their teeth out."

Gift link to WSJ Story today. I can't believe it's not illegal to extort money from companies in exchange for access or favors from the President (like settling a lawsuit?) wsj.com/politics/polic…

Talarico is polling better vs. Paxton than Beto O'Rourke (D) ever did in his close 2018 defeat vs. Sen. Ted Cruz (R). #TXSen
From April through July 2018, Cruz led every poll vs O'Rourke. But Paxton has only led in 3 of 12 surveys conducted in the same period of 2026.

“Both sides seem to agree on one thing: There is no end in sight to the war. U.S. defense officials told us that they believe conflict will continue into 2027. Iran is signaling that it plans for a fight even longer than that” theatlantic.com/national-secur…

A Hong interview thing that also showed up in the debate the other night: If you ask her a yes or no question, good chance she'll give you a one-word answer.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar
Francesca Hong was just on Fox News getting grilled about her onetime support for defunding the police and current support for other DSA-endorsed positions. Here's the full interview.

Yeah, I don't think Hong will have any trouble consolidating anything mainline and further left among Democratic voters in Wisconsin. Her issue will be if she can hang on to the suburban gains among former Republicans around Milwaukee and the Fox Valley. That I don't know.
I, Robert@BlueCheese608
I will say Wisconsin Dems are way more kumbaya than Michigan Dems. Like I never met a single person, not even On This Hellscape App, who said they would not vote in Nov if their candidate didn’t win the primary. Come on Michigan, both of them are light years better than Rogers!

Another debacle.
CNN Breaking News@cnnbrk
The Justice Department is admitting that a $14 million renovation on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC, was flawed, and is dropping the criminal case against a former Olympian that accused him of damaging the pool, according to a new court filing. cnn.it/4hHsa15

The unknown is how this changes in the general
El-Sayed would face an even more aggressive onslaught than he’s seen, with new arguments targeting swing voters
But he’s also an unusually gifted communicator, well-equipped to exploit some Rogers vulnerabilities

It's not that the status quo works; it's more that unless the left is going to magically get 60 Senate votes, a House majority, and a friendly president, their burn-it-down policies are not going to happen.
We just have MAGA's burn-it-down locking horns with the left's burn-it-down, and nothing changes, and no one's lives improve at all. Anger just circulates all around.
The alternative is to work more incrementally and cooperatively on things that do have a chance of happening and of improving people's lives.
Moderates are no less angry at the system; we're just realistic about the situation we face.
(And yes, it's impossible to convince Dem primary voters of this - my point is that it's not wanting the status quo. It's realism about working within the world we live.)
J-B@JBTalksDC
It’s basically impossible to convince a Democratic primary voter in this era that the status quo works.

For a variety of reasons (chiefly that it's quite early), the @SplitTicket_ model doesn't really buy all of the polling in Texas yet. But this is the first time we've seen this. theargumentmag.com/p/split-ticket…

Exactly. The center-left is a lot more open to left leaning candidates who can win and don't carry enough baggage to start an airline.
The Notorious S.E.B.@bigseb31213
Even though Jackson is very progressive, I am fine with him as the nominee because he 1. Has proved he can win in red seats - he won a very red State Senate seat in 2022! After he left office, the next Democrat lost by 30 points 2. He primarily campaigns against Republicans

Trump restarting hostilities with Iran has definitely caused a shift. It's been in pretty much all polls the past couple weeks..

Pro-Trump media are losing viewers in droves, NYT reports today.
"The audience for pro-Trump content has fallen from its heights and, for some creators, has reached new lows. Views are dropping for many of Trump’s greatest allies."
More proof we've entered Late-Stage Trumpism:
.@GregTSargent
In Late-Stage Trumpism, everything is cheap, petty malice: *Bill Pulte boasting of nonexistent "deep state" firings *Trump denying aid to blue states *Raging over Reflecting Pool fiasco *Prosecutions of foes imploding *He took over 250th and nobody came newrepublic.com/article/213727…

The Republican position we're seeing today that there is too much spending on schools is deeply, deeply unpopular.
Per the Marquette poll, only 18% of voters say schools are "receiving more funding than is needed." And 47% say schools receive too little state funding.
BenYount1130@yount1130
Wisconsin, yet again, sets a record for school spending. Yet our kids are doing worse than ever. maciverinstitute.com/news/wisconsin…

A thread on how heroes like Dr. Anthony Fauci make Trump and the Republicans look like criminals by comparison. That's why they tried to destroy his good name. That's the story.

@JoshKraushaar under 45's aren't going to read the paper, Josh, no matter how good the reporters are
English
My one thought: Fact that we don't have dogged, experienced reporters like Craig covering the Wisconsin governor's race in the state's leading paper leaves a vacuum for the under-45 crowd to get information from ideologically-driven sources.
Craig Gilbert@WisVoter
some thoughts on latest poll showing Hong in command of Dem Gov Primary in WI: she's not only has a powerful base (voters under 45 and "very liberal" voters); none of her rivals have come close to consolidating voters outside those groups:
