Last year, Donald Trump Jr. invested in a rare earths startup at a $200 million valuation. Then three months later, the US government announced a huge loan backstop for the company and now it's worth around $2 billion. bloomberg.com/news/features/…

MAGA might be on-board with the Iran war, but not all of Trump's base is. We just got a new poll, from Yahoo/YouGov: -24% of 2024 Trump voters disapprove of Trump on Iran -17% of Republicans disapprove And "strong" approval is under 50% for both groups.

Janet Mills camp tells @SusanRinkunas she supports filibuster *reform*, evolving a bit since Oct. when she told @Billy_Kobin “I would certainly want to retain the filibuster." Though she still says the filibuster is needed to prevent nationwide abortion ban. slate.com/news-and-polit…

Meta's $45 million super PAC lost 3/4 of the Illinois state legislature races it spent in last night. Meta spent $750,000 across four state races in Illinois and their only chosen candidate who won was Paul Kendrick in IL-HD-12.

Endorsements from Pritzker and outgoing Reps. Jan Schakowsky and Danny Davis were successful. It’s a good reminder that voters’ connections to their communities can be more powerful than an algorithm or millions of dollars in poll-tested ad spending.  cookpolitical.com/analysis/senat…

Takeaways from last night's primaries in Illinois: • Clear illustrations of the limits of big money politics • An incredible advertisement for RCV • Encouraging results for the Senate insurgency • Even big money's ads are about economic populism huffpost.com/entry/big-mone…

Stratton's victory has to be somewhat encouraging for Flanagan, Platner and McMorrow, all of whom are running on some similar campaign themes -- turning down corporate PAC $$$, moving on from Schumer.

🚨 @JulianaStratton tells me she will NOT support Chuck Schumer as leader if elected to the Senate

This was a better night for the Warren left than it was for the Bernie left, though I'm honestly not 100% sure you can call Stratton "left" and some Bernie-backed candidates turned in impressive but still losing performances.
Adam Carlson@admcrlsn

Endorsement success tonight: Warren: 2 for 4 (Stratton, Biss) AIPAC: 2 for 4 (Bean, Miller) Think Big (pro-AI PAC): 1 for 2 (Bean) Fairshake (pro-crypto PAC): 1 for 4 (Bean) Congressional Progressive Caucus: 1 for 4 (Biss) Congressional Black Caucus: 0 for 3 Bernie: 0 for 2 Justice Dems: 0 for 2

So AIPAC looks set to go 2-2, crypto looks like 0-2, AI looks like 1-1. (Deleted an earlier version of this because I got which AI groups were spending in which races mixed up.)

This is turning into a very mixed night for the super PACs --> Ford win is an L for both Crypto + AIPAC Stratton win would be an L for crypto Donna Miller win is a W for AIPAC, L for AI Biss or Abughazaleh win is a L for AIPAC Bean is a win for crypto, AI and AIPAC

Melissa Conyears-Ervin conceded the race for the 7th Congressional District Democratic primary. La Shawn Ford currently leads. "I smile because God has been good to me. And I smile because all throughout the day everywhere I went all I saw was hope in the eyes of supporters."

Who’s written or voiced an explaination of how Washington-area meteorologists completely whiffed on the size and severity of today’s weather? Several school districts and organizations - heck, the federal government’s DC-area workforce - would like those cancelled afternoons back.
