In the open seat TX HD 41 Democratic runoff, Julio Salinas (who was endorsed by Bernie Sanders) has defeated Seby Haddad (the conservadem Hidalgo County machine candidate) — in what might be a sign of a changing of the guard in Rio Grand Valley Democratic political power dynamics. This is a Trump +2 / Biden +13 / 84% Latino district. It’ll be an interesting test case of whether a populist progressive can win a swing district.

Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

LEAKED AUDIO: In an all-hands meeting on April 30, Mark Zuckerberg tells employees that he's training AI on them ahead of mass layoffs. "The AI models learn from watching really smart people do things... The average intelligence of the people who are at this company is significantly higher than the average set of people that you can get to do tasks. So if we're trying to teach the models coding, for example, then having people internally build tools or solve tasks that help teach the model how to code, we think is going to dramatically increase our model's coding ability faster than what others in the industry have the capability to do, who don't have thousands and thousands of extremely strong engineers at their company."



News: Sen. Bernie Sanders is getting involved in the OK-5 race and endorsing Trey Martin in the Dem primary. Martin is going up against Jena Nelson who ran statewide for State Superintendent in 2022. Winner takes on Rep. Stephanie Bice






In the last 15 months, we have recruited over 8,500 Americans to run for office at every level of government. Today, I am proud to endorse 61 progressives running for state and local office across America. They will fight for the kind of changes our country desperately needs.

This is the most artfully constructed and well-planned humiliation I have ever seen.

Retirement news: @RepJessie announced today she won't seek reelection after nearly 13 years in the Assembly. Second Assembly Republican in a seat Kamala Harris won two years ago to decide against a run. 12th member of Assembly overall to retire or run for another office.

BREAKING: in recent weeks, some DNC members have privately discussed trying to force Chair Martin out of the job, according to three people familiar with these conversations. The idea was put on hold after members failed to identify an alternative candidate willing to step into the role. scoop from @Lauren_V_Egan thebulwark.com/p/new-drama-in…
