I know @CarlPaulus likes to joke about Democrats having a staffing problem, but Republicans aren't without issues of their own.

A campaign account for Senate candidate Mike Collins mocks an adviser to rival Derek Dooley’s PAC whose wife attempted suicide after accusing Matt Lauer of rape. #gapol

@LPDonovan Right I just think it’s interesting as a view of “Lucasworld’s” take on things. Though Spanberger turning herself into the Dem Tom Corbett or Sam Brownback is a funny prospect
English
@KeystoneObsrvr Ha, TIL. Ben has been one of the more plugged in VA dems on here from the beginning so even more interesting if they're eating their own.
English
Fascinating in that Gov power in VA is fleeting by virtue of constitutional limit against consecutive terms, so leg can usually bet on outlasting the incumbent from either party. And/but a gambit like this has to happen early if you're going to pull it off, let alone benefit.
Ben Tribbett@notlarrysabato
I’m going to say something out loud that will help make sense of things in Virginia. Spanberger is planning primaries to all of Senate leadership. They are looking at candidates against Lucas, Deeds, Locke and Surovell. Everything else makes sense if you see what’s coming.

@ElliotKaufman6 The American Way of War since the 1860s is based on tremendous expenditure of ordinance and maximum firepower.

It's common for Israeli officials to marvel at how many munitions the U.S. military expends. "It's as if they've never had to conserve ammo and don't know how," I've been told.
John Hudson@John_Hudson
The US fired more than 200 THAAD interceptors in defense of Israel — roughly half of the Pentagon’s total inventory — along with more than 100 SM-3 and SM-6 interceptors. By contrast, Israel fired fewer than 100 of its Arrow and around 90 David Sling interceptors

@EsotericCD Between Trump jumping in and doing the exact opposite of the 2012 R autopsy and winning twice and whatever this document is, you have to wonder on the utility of these things as an exercise at all
English
This really is an amazingly half-assed DNC autopsy. It doesn't read as if it was ever finished or discussed, it reads like someone just pulled the plug after reading the initial draft, thinking "this can't be saved."
They were right about that! Why are we reading it now?

Good news for the Indiana GOP. Bad news for Beau Bayh and Greg Ballard. Hopefully, David Shelton is the nominee. twitter.com/PollTracker202…

@jimgeraghty Have to imagine some type of “Union” or outright annexation is the mid to long term plan for Russia vis a vis Belarus.
English
Belarus doesn’t get as much attention, or blame, as it deserves in the ongoing “gray zone” warfare against NATO’s Eastern flank. Belarus’s President Alexander Lukashenko is always playing Jaws to Vladimir Putin’s Blofeld. The fact that Putin deployed nuclear weapons to Belarusian soil and that this week’s large-scale military drills are aimed at testing Russian readiness to deploy nuclear weapons should have gotten more people to sit up and take notice.

@varadmehta Reminds me of a different version of that CIA high up whose “so far left he went Russian nationalist” son died fighting in the Russian Army in Ukraine.
English
Crazy story, but the US is better off with these two people no longer in the country. Or on the planet, for that matter.
Brandon Fuller@fuller_brandon
Two Americans died fighting for a Maoist terrorist group in the Philippines last month. Their radicalization pipeline ran through public university campuses in the U.S. Places like San Francisco State and the University of Washington where faculty openly affiliate with Filipino Communist front groups. @ManhattanInst's @thestustustudio has the story in @CityJournal city-journal.org/article/philip…

@Ejmiller25 It’s less the actual amount spent and more the constant habit of effectively setting money on fire unnecessarily.
English
If you're constantly eat out for lunch and the occasional dinner, you're spending $150/wk that you otherwise wouldn't have if you packed homemade sammies. But Gen Z is ordering out 7-9 times a week.
Danae Hudlow@danae_hudlow
When I saw Kevin O'Leary criticizing Gen Z for their $28 lunches, I was inclined to argue, because I'm a millennial who remembers being accused of financial insolvency due to avocado toast. But these posts saying "What else are we supposed to eat for lunch?!" have me rethinking.

What do you want to bet that his offer is "you get TMSC to build more chip factories in the US and I'll approve your arms sale"?

@Legal_Fil @ChrisOldman4 At some point you’d think the diminishing returns and the increasingly ludicrous “inside ball” races he inserts himself into (State Supreme Court races, Virginia gerrymandering?) would cause someone in his orbit to ask him to take a step back
English
@ChrisOldman4 The key to understanding Obama is that he is a miser when it comes to spending personal capital because, ultimately, the only thing he truly cares about is himself.
English
You know what would be really helpful? If Obama came out in support of data centers and capitalism. That he restricts his stances to highly partisan issues and always takes one side shows that he is not the centrist, high-minded pragmatist he proclaims himself to be.
Barack Obama@BarackObama
The decisions made by state supreme courts touch every part of our lives. And that’s especially important when voting rights and basic freedoms are being challenged. Today, voters in Georgia can stand up for fairness and integrity by electing Miracle Rankin and Jen Jordan to Georgia’s Supreme Court. Let’s get this one right, Georgia.

John F. Kennedy is emerging as a potential future statewide candidate in Georgia. If he wins this year, it would not be surprising to see him considered for races such as governor or U.S. Senate in the years ahead.

Georgia Lieutenant Governor GOP Primary 22% Reported: 🔴 John F. Kennedy – 75,682 (28.0%) 🔴 Greg Dolezal – 59,268 (21.9%) 🔴 Blake Tillery – 50,828 (18.8%) If no candidate wins a majority of the vote, the race will go to a runoff.

@senderowiczj Reminds me of George Galloway’s concession speech a number of years back

An excellent summation of why it was good that he lost.

@MichaelWatsonDC He fractured his hip at 89 and it was basically “well I can’t jog anymore so I’ll just speed walk.”

Grassley will be driving his tractor past the ton at the rate he’s going.

If you’re over 80 they should send you to Chuck Grassley’s farm and make you drive a tractor to show you’re still coherent enough to be in Congress

@kkondik @JMilesColeman @conorsen I’d imagine in large part because in Georgia Dems rely mostly on a large voting demographic (black voters) that are very partisan but not particularly ideological on some issues - sort of the inverse of left-coded referendums/judge elections among working class rust belt whites.
English
@conorsen there may be a process of partisanization that is just in its relative infancy in these nonpartisan GA races where incumbency status is noted on the ballot
English
@varadmehta @SeanTrende “To The Strongest!” was always his safest play regardless of outcome.

@SeanTrende You wouldn't have been surprised, though, if he had.
