I wrote this week about Jewish progressives who see the anti-Israel political conversation tipping into straight antisemitism: Some responses to the Platner situation and who’s really to blame are ringing the same alarms for many of those feeling it— cnn.com/2026/07/07/pol…

Abdul El-Sayed called views on Israel a "moral Rorschach test" for progressives. Asked whether he believed that support of Israel could not be about AIPAC or other money, El-Sayed told CNN, “Not if you’re a Democrat & you believe in human rights.” cnn.com/2026/07/07/pol…

“I know at some point there will be a day of reckoning, b/c I still believe that Jews should have a homeland,” @BeccaBalintVT said. “There will be ppl, I think some of my own supporters, who will turn on me, because I still believe in a 2-state solution" cnn.com/2026/07/07/pol…

NYC Comptroller @MarkLevineNYC: "We’re absolutely willing to criticize the actions of the current government of Israel. And we are. But we’re feeling excluded from many spaces right now, and it’s hard to conclude it’s not because we’re Jewish.” cnn.com/2026/07/07/pol…

NEW: Jewish progressives warn about American antisemitism under the guise of criticism of Israel “I don’t see this as a right or left issue. I see this as the unmasking of American antisemitism under the guise of criticism of Israel.” -@NoahArbit. cnn.com/2026/07/07/pol…

Thanks to @CNN's @CNNThisMorning and @AudieCornish for having me on this morning to discuss alongside @XochitlHinojosa and @IsaacDovere.

New York Post editorializes against the Trump sons’ financial involvement in a mine in Kazakhstan - nypost.com/2026/06/29/opi… Read more on how Jon Ossoff came to include that example in his anti-corruption speeches in my story from this morning: cnn.com/2026/06/29/pol…

Ossoff: “I think we should judge these prospective presidential candidates by how much they’re doing to help us win battleground states and front-line congressional races to restore checks and balances." cnn.com/2026/06/29/pol…

New on @InsidePolitics — All SCOTUS fallout in three big cases — Trump’s response in E Jean Carroll case — Rep Robert Garcia live —#gasen latest: What Ossoff and Collins said to me. @IsaacDovere new reporting — Trump’s golf takeover In chair w @ajconwashington @Phil_Mattingly

Ossoff has had 2 daughters since he was first elected to the Senate, notable in “the world’s most powerful senior center.” “It’s also full of people who have been senators for decades, which equally distances them from the daily reality of American life” cnn.com/2026/06/29/pol…

NEW from me - I spent time behind the scenes with Jon Ossoff, the Democrats’ sudden 2026 viral hit, talking about why he thinks his approach is working in Georgia, how having young kids changed his view of older senators, his favorite movie - and yes, 2028 cnn.com/2026/06/29/pol…

NEW - Gavin Newsom, in what aides explicitly say is part of considering a 2028 run, is proposing a national billionaires tax: cnn.com/2026/06/26/pol…

A lot of New York politicians dismissed the talk of Mamdani/DSA challenges when this story ran a year ago, after his primary win: cnn.com/2025/07/09/pol…

NEW from me: Many NYC politicos who tried to be Mamdani allies are unhappy. Early endorser Rep. Nydia Velázquez wouldn't answer when asked if she regretted her support. The new powerbroker's take: This is what a revolution looks like - on his terms. cnn.com/2026/06/24/pol…

Jack Schlossberg hits back at reports that when he launched his campaign, he told his team he had to go home to nap. He tells CNN he was visiting his sister, who was privately battling Leukemia, before passing away last year: “My sister is out there campaigning with me every day. She lives in my heart.”

.@JBKSchlossberg on people who say he can run again some other time: "We’re kind of running out of time here to change things up, and we all have no idea what’s going to happen in our lives. Not to be morbid, but something terrible could happen.” cnn.com/2026/06/22/pol…

What is there to teach a Kennedy about politics? According to Jack Kennedy Schlossberg, as his name will appear on the ballot in Tuesday’s Democratic primary: Somehow, pretty much everything. Read @IsaacDovere: cnn.com/2026/06/22/pol…

The Reflecting Pool's renovation has been filled with problems — and now algae. @IsaacDovere — auditioning to be IP's algae correspondent — walks us through the "strange situation" that's led to the pool's green color.

NEW from me: What is there to teach a Kennedy about politics? According to Jack Kennedy Schlossberg, as his name will appear on the ballot in Tues’s Democratic primary:Somehow, pretty much everything. A look at the closing days of the primary run: cnn.com/2026/06/22/pol…

.@JBKSchlossberg to me at the revived H&H Bagels on the Upper West Side: “everyone says that it’s time for a new generation … the Democratic Party has got to learn how to do things differently – until somebody actually tries, and then they don’t want to” cnn.com/2026/06/22/pol…
