Worth the click. But, there have been more stories about how Obama might wield his remaining influence than data points to show that he has any actual interest in involving himself in the spheres of politics and world events. newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…

The DNC is in trouble and some Dems don't think Ken Martin should remain in the job. Some DNC members have even privately discussed trying to force him out. And there's growing concern throughout the party that Martin is driving the committee into irrelevance. thebulwark.com/p/new-drama-in…

If the White House wanted Congress to do this, they can ask and it might actually pass. Instead they are asking for much larger and more expansive package which is not anywhere close to garnering the support it needs to pass.

Three months later, this is my last @washingtonpost story — delayed because nearly everyone involved in it was laid off. I am very grateful to newsroom friends who made sure it published anyway, and to brave Roman Mongold and his family for their time. wapo.st/4cNY7Cm

As Louisiana, Tennessee and potentially other states look to redistrict before November, experts warn of the downstream consequences that will be felt among election officials, candidates and voters alike as some states look to pull off delayed congressional primaries months out from the general. “Election offices are already underfunded, understaffed, overworked,” former Pennsylvania Secretary of State @KathyBoockvar told me. thehill.com/homenews/campa…

I can't decide if we're seeing the last gasps of 10s-20s critical social justice or something just waiting to bust out as soon as the permission structure exists again.
