@lukeradel @FTA_DOT @MarcMolinaro @realDonaldTrump Every year or two Molinaro reassesses his kids based on the posture of his new voter base.
It's actually super transparent, like a Moody's bond rating.

“Why can’t you say that the president was wrong?”
My question to Former @FTA_DOT Administrator @MarcMolinaro on @realDonaldTrump’s use of the r-word.
(Marc and I both have a special connection to those with disabilities so I found this exchange to be telling…)

@TimmyFacciola_ @RepMikeLawler @lawler4ny: "I literally was the only person to pass a gun safety bill last Congress."

NEW: I sat down with @RepMikeLawler on Friday for a long conversation at his campaign headquarters in Rockland.
This is the first installment in the Judge Street Journal's NY-17 candidate interview series:
English
@AndrewPessin Arg. Seeing thoughtful posts about fighting antisemitism is like manna from heaven, but following the author frequently ends up sending me wandering, lost, into a nonsense feed of right-wing grievance and bigotry.
If only there was a biblical allegory to give me hope.
English
@hutchinson But "forced a [losing] vote" doesn't do anything for anyone except politicians super pumped to use it in ads in 6 months. It's objectively a bad answer.
English
Whoever answered this question from the DCCC AMA gave an honest, correct answer to a question that was based on an entirely false premise.
Ken sees a dem saying that your options are quite limited as the minority party and thinks this is weakness. No. This is 12th grade Civics.
English
If your expectation for a political party that is out of power is that they can do anything they want if they just “figure it out,” and then you become angry when certain things don’t happen…you don’t understand democracy at a fundamental level and *you* are the problem.
English
@NYGovPress I may have seen a better tweet in my life, but not recently. Post this one on his Wikipedia page.
English
Not what your polling said.
Mike Lawler@lawler4ny
The worst governor in America… truly a grade-A idiot.
English
@RoKhanna This reminds me of that time in 7th grade when those idiots found the word "niggardly," and thought they were being clever by hiding their bigotry behind the faintest scrim of deniability.
English
These are wealthy & powerful individuals who use their networks & wealth to flaunt the law.
There are successful & rich people who have a patriotic duty to abide by the law & give back. They are economic patriots. But those who abuse the law must be held accountable.
English
Dems should be for the working class, not the Epstein class.
I plead guilty to coining the phrase.
Jon Favreau@jonfavs
In this op-ed, @ThirdWayTweet actually argues that "Epstein class" is an "age-old trope" pushed by "Jew-haters on the left."

NEW The Wealthy House Candidate w/a History of Bawdy Facebook Posts
Peter Chatzky speculated about how much Melania Trump would charge him for sex. Joked about sleeping with an intern. And boasted—evidently facetiously—about paying to watch him masturbate

@ProbSolveCaucus @RepBrianFitz @RepTomSuozzi Suozzi hasn't passed anything in almost 5 years and Fitzpatrick's only passed bill, ever, was to rename a post office.
How about y'all stop with this narcissistic branding exercise and try to make healthcare affordable. You look insane right now.
English
We are excited to introduce The Pod Couple, a new podcast hosted by Problem Solvers Caucus Co-Chairs @RepBrianFitz and @RepTomSuozzi.
Each episode, we’ll share updates on our work to find common ground in Congress, bringing in leaders from government and business to discuss the biggest challenges facing our country — and what it will take to address them.
Watch or listen on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts!

@john_rockhill @speechboy71 This pathological brain rewiring is so odd. There's glee at Israelis being killed by Iran. But if an Iranian missile landed on your front porch here in the US, for the same exact reasons, you'd demand to speak to the manager immediately. Maybe not antisemitism, but def inhuman.
English
@speechboy71 Great. Then why do Israel's defenders regularly try to conflate legitimate criticism of Israel with real antisemitism? We see it every single day.
Will you call it out?
English
Man, nothing pisses me off more than when non-Jews have the audacity to suggest that they know what is best when it comes to addressing "a very real threat to Jewish people."
Imagine a white liberal telling a person of color, "I know better when it comes to understanding racism."
Jon Favreau@jonfavs
The tired, relentless attempt to equate opposition to the Israeli government with antisemitism isn't just wrong and offensive, it's a badly failing political strategy that has hurt the fight against a very real threat to Jewish people. No one buys this shit beyond the most hardcore supporters of the Israeli government.
English
@susanabulhawa This may be the most insufferable thing I’ve ever heard in my life. A symphony of childlike unaccountability, a sociopathological cadence and Magoo-level myopia about her own bigotry. A masterpiece, in its own way.
English
my response to Mayor Mamdani, the reporters calling me, etc.
English
@MidHudsonNews Obvs a bizarre article in any case, but @jrods9insider omits the fact that Nassersharif worked on behalf of Entergy in a suit in Vermont to eliminate state laws to protect residents from nuclear accidents. I'm sure his lobbyist references are . . . glowing.

@Bri_Rosenworcel @cmclymer Oh FFS. The nexus from Netanyahu to MI Reformed Jewish families is far more hypothetical and tortured than the nexus from the Sandy Hook murders to your own family. Sit with that as you blithely handwave this terrorist attack on innocent kids as some sort of FAFO consequence.
English
@VestColin @cmclymer Is this your current branding? Innocent people dying in blazing tents? I'm not really sure it's working. x.com/mhdksafa/statu…
English
We can have good faith conversations on Israel, Gaza, Zionism, etc.
We can share criticisms of the Israeli government.
But at the end of the day, if you're opting to explain away violent attacks on Jewish people as an unfortunate by-product of the larger political environment instead of the specific agency of the attacker and their antisemitism, you might be antisemitic yourself.
Maybe this is a good moment to sit with that and reflect on it.
English
@Bri_Rosenworcel @cmclymer I’m sorry that you’re not connecting with our current branding. Would, perhaps, a free appetizer make you consider giving us another shot, and potentially showing a smidgen of humanity to the nursery school kids that almost got murdered today?
English
@cmclymer Sitting, reflecting. Able to separate Israeli government policy from the American Jewish experience.
And yet can’t help but feel like Israel has ruined the name of Judaism globally.
And I’m not surprised that West Bloomfield and worse might take place.
English
@realajedelman Israelis to Jewish American visitors in Israel: “Thx so much for coming & supporting us at this time. We ❤️ our beautiful country & hope you enjoy”
Israelis to Jewish Americans on the internet: “Fuck you assholes for respecting Muslim Americans in your own neighborhoods”
[sigh]
English
Bernie, he didn't even mention Islam. You're projecting. You're the racist here.
Bernie Sanders@BernieSanders
Senator Tuberville’s post on Mayor Mamdani is nothing less than blatant Islamophobic racism. Not only should Tuberville apologize, but the Republican leadership should strongly condemn this kind of ugly behavior. We must fight racism of all kinds, not condone it.
English
@JewishWonk Not disagreeing, but there are still plenty of violent, armed people radicalized against US Jews re: HIAS and our support for refugees. Notwithstanding intimations below, I wouldn't assume that we're out of the woods whatsover with those right-wing creeps who've done it before.
English
We will learn more about the motives of the attacker at the shul in Michigan soon enough, but what we do know already is a scenario every Jew I know who goes to shul talks about when it comes to shul security
American Jews are under siege because of regular incitement against us
English
@MichaelLangeNYC Phenomenal read. But what it does leave out is that Molinaro *did* taste the Consultant class, pulling in six figures in the 6 weeks after leaving Congress. This loooooong, unattached rumspringa before he’s sworn into Assembly presents a sexy opportunity to get filthy rich.
English
Another masterpiece about the inimitable Marc Molinaro... and so much more.
English
@MondaireJones Wait - Mondaire shills for the Polymarket lobby now? That character arc from Spring Valley to Stanford to Davis Polk to Congress to losing Congress to this nonsense is a legit bell curve.

This class action is without a basis in fact or law. The disclaimer was right there in the contract rules, and participants agreed to it.

New class action lawsuit filed in California against Kalshi over the Iran markets...because some people don't read the rules.

@Not_Mike_Brady We better resubmit this homework in early May, right before the Lugar Center publishes its nonsense bipartisan index which Lawler will have disingenuously gamed to within an inch of its life.
