Huge blown opportunity for Dems. Ron Johnson was deep underwater and going off about replacement theory, approval in the 30s, in a year that Ds grew their majority. But rallied around a flawed WI nom who left a paper trail of pro defund police and abolish ICE that Rs feasted on.

@JacobRubashkin why even wait until the mythical fall? the whole point of 10 years of Trump is the 24/7 news cycle never stops for seasons. drag his sorry ass now and every day til November

How many “this moment will appear in every ad this fall” moments actually end up appearing in every ad that fall? Which ones come to mind in previous years?

NEW: Jeffries' battle plan for '28
7+ states, 12+ seats, total war with GOP.
For Dems who refuse, Jeffries' allies preparing pressure campaign - only “real Democrats” are willing to fight, one person close to Jeffries told us

@AnthonyDabbundo if viewers haven’t abandoned the league after a decade of total dogshit Thursday Night games, nothing will ever break them

the NFL has Thursday-Friday-Saturday-Sunday-Monday games during Christmas week and Wednesday-Thursday-Friday-Sunday games during Thanksgiving week
1) many will complain about this
2) everyone will watch the games all the same
3) there is a breaking point though and the NFL is closer to it than it realizes
Jeff Kerr@JeffKerrPHL
The #NFL is expected to have standalone games on these days in 2026 (not counting Sundays, TNF and MNF) Wed., Sept. 9 (Kickoff Game) Thurs., Sept . 10 (Australia Game) Thanksgiving Eve (1 game) Thanksgiving (3 games) Black Friday Saturday in Week 15 (2 games) Christmas Eve (1 game) Christmas (3 games) Saturday in Week 16 Saturday in Week 17 (2 games) Saturday in Week 18 (3 games)

@joerussotweets this is like the Trump voters who keep finding a new excuse every four years

An exec told me the studios have to make new entries of IP every few years to “keep it fresh in audiences minds.”
The studios aren’t in the movie business anymore, they’re in franchise management.

@SaveYourCinema @latimes putting Blue Note in and the other restaurants doesn’t really make long term sense without Arclight coming back online

BREAKING: Elizabeth Peterson Gower spoke with @latimes after the public hearing to clarify "ownership has noted the intense public interest around the Dome and the ArcLight and that it will inspire a time frame in the near future”. Do we believe her?

@samstein damn Sam what changed? something stopping the beltway press from covering it as such?

So, in other words, if you paid enough to sponsor Sec. Duffy's reality show, you could get coveted access to Duffy. This used to be the stuff of scandal

SCOOP: I obtained a pitch deck in which the entity that paid for Transportation Sec’y Duffy’s new reality show outlined different partner levels — $1 million, $500,000, $250,000 and $100,000 — which include recognition on its sponsors page and networking. static.politico.com/74/6e/5da7a151…

@mddems @isaiahrmartin Joe Biden actually did this with razor thin congressional margins and the voters he helped summarily threw him out on his ass. stop acting like voters ever choose “policy”
English
"If we can campaign on things that actually make people’s lives better, and deliver on them, we won’t just win elections now, we’ll build a real coalition for the future.”
@isaiahrmartin breaks down why messaging has to move beyond broad political talking points and connect directly to people’s everyday lives.

@samstein the fundamental problem actually is the destruction of the East Wing without Congressional approval was an illegal and impeachable violation of his oath of office, no matter who is paying how much
English
i think the fundamental problem here is not the price tag. it's that this was proposed as a project that the taxpayers would not have to pay for. and now they are. i guess that's henpecking. But it's the truth.

News: Thune just said 20% of the $1 billion in the reconciliation bill would be for ballroom/East Wing security (~$200 million). The rest would be for “other Secret Service priorities”

@SaveYourCinema I think it makes sense in the current exhibition climate to convert one level of the 20 Arclight screens to PLF format houses, one of which could be a COSM. but never the Dome
English
A proposal was made to convert the Cinerama Dome into COSM! No word on if this will be made. 🚨 ‼️

@MariaTCardona and more to the point Alex Thompson knows (or chooses not to know) that as well

I am told by many legal eagles that XB will not be named in anything. He is not the target of any investigation. The judicial piece of that investigation has concluded and the only thing remaining is sentencing. He is not a part of this. And Katie Porter knows that.

I’ve shared this, but I was canvassing for Harris in Bucks County, PA. Knocked on the door of a woman who said she was thinking about voting for her, but then Harris started campaigning with Cheney and her son died in Afghanistan, that was her red line, so she was voting Trump.
Sarah Longwell@SarahLongwell25
Seriously, Donald Trump is currently destroying the country and you want to talk about Dick Cheney? He’s dead! Liz Cheney gave up everything to help Kamala because she was asked and wanted to help. Can we focus on what matters? Like, congrats on driving down Dick Cheney’s approval numbers.

@daveweigel “scrambling the old thinking” = illegally canceling underway elections and disenfranchising voters
English
The willingness of these states to throw out results from ongoing elections and start again with new maps, in cycle, is scrambling the old thinking and precedent about when it was too late to re-draw.
Juliegrace Brufke@juliegraceb
Per sources familiar, if the new maps pass the filing deadline for House seats would be pushed back. This, in theory, would allow for Nancy Mace and Ralph Norman to run for their seats again if they don’t win the gubernatorial primary.

No matter how much money Goldman spends and no matter how many unions & establishment Dems endorse him, the math is just super daunting for him here

Dan Goldman is down 5 points to Brad Lander, 42-47, per a poll from pro-Goldman super PAC New Yorkers Fighting Back. Goldman knows polling isn't good and is on the attack and rallying support, including from Hochul, @HollyPret reports: cityandstateny.com/politics/2026/…

@brianbeutler Hakeem seems to get it, insofar as it is an impediment to him ever holding the speakers gavel. not sure it extends beyond that to anything or anyone else tho

No opposition party can accept this state of affairs and retain respectability, and getting Democrats to understand that latter point prior to January 2029 is critical to the survival of democracy in the U.S.

I came to Baltimore as a teacher. My first classroom didn't have a doorknob. For a full year I carried a pair of scissors in my pocket just to get in and out of the room.
That doorknob — or the lack of one — made me want to be part of building a system that says to every person, in every neighborhood, in every school: you matter. You belong here. This place was built for you.
That experience is a big part of why I ran for office — and why I'm still here.
This is Francis Scott Key Elementary and Middle School in Locust Point. We just secured $1.5 million this session for new bathrooms, classroom furniture, and lockers. Baltimore has rebuilt or renovated more school buildings than any other urban district in the country — 14 of them right here in the 46th District.
Every kid deserves a school that tells them they belong.
Early voting starts June 11. Election Day is June 23
