German foreign policy think tankers seem to have almost nothing to say about the ICC's announcement today, even as they continue to tweet about Russia and Ukraine, i.e. exactly as I argued in this piece published in April. open.substack.com/pub/theideasle…

In the 37 competitive House districts where we have near-final presidential election results: • Dem incumbents are outperforming Harris by an avg of 5.9 points (or a median of 6.1 pts) • Dem non-incumbents are outperforming Harris by an avg of 0.5 pts (or a median of 1.4 pts)

Trump's mandate? It's very shallow. Trump's now under 50% in the popular vote. His margin ranks 44 of 51 since 1824. Weak coattails: 4 Dems won for Senate in states Trump won. (It was 0 in 2016 & 2020.) The GOP is on track for smallest House majority since there were 50 states.

Trump to name Brendan Carr--a massive champion for Elon Musk and his Starlink system--as chairman of the F.C.C. which controls orbital access by space communications companies in the US.

More than electoral lessons, I do hope everyone involved learns some policymaking lessons for next time. Blaming The Groups for the election strikes me as self serving deflection from politicians who forgot they have agency, but there are clearly real institutional problems here
James Medlock@jdcmedlock

Some soul searching is very warranted and there’s lots we could improve on as a party, but also I believe we could learn zero lessons and win in 2028 just on anti incumbent sentiment (assuming we have real elections)

In this, Democrats now have a somewhat unique position for them. They are *extremely* well positioned as a party downballot thanks to their incredible 2018 and 2022 midterms. Go back to 2014 now and compare — it’s extremely stark. Not a consolation for losing, but not nothing.

The chef's kiss is unions demanding that Biden give them pension bailouts, spending, tariffs, Buy America rules, tighter Davis-Bacon regs, etc - which are all inflationary - and then complaining that Democrats are out of touch on grocery and gas prices. That's some chutzpah.

Publicly demanding a cover up of a Republican-led ethics investigation into the Attorney General nominee doesn’t suggest much confidence that it will exonerate Gaetz
Annie Grayer@AnnieGrayerCNN

NEW : Mike Johnson urges Ethics panel to not release report on Matt Gaetz, an unprecedented move since investigation is supposed to be separate from speaker’s office “I’m going to strongly request that the Ethics Committee not issue the report" Johnson tells @alisonkmain

I'm not sure people fully realize that the GOP's attacks on trans student athletes largely originated from social conservatives searching for a new target after their defeat on gay marriage "We threw everything at the wall" Terry Schilling said vox.com/policy/385549/…

honestly just depressing how so many people think the mere existence of a trans person is some sort of moral transgression equivalent to being a literal pedophile
Andrew Desiderio@AndrewDesiderio

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) is answering reporters’ questions about Gaetz by holding up a photo of Rachel Levine, an assistant HHS secretary, and asking reporters “did you ask Democratic senators about this?”

The thing about Deliverism is it only works if you deliver what people care about. Manufacturing and energy jobs etc are great in the areas Biden’s policies targeted but not when grocery prices are up 30% over 3 years and liberals have failed on housing (in cities they control!)
