Editorial Board @dissentmag. Think I started trend of labeling modern US Right as “revanchist.” Charming in person, but we’re not there. Also NBA/Warriors.

@HeerJeet @hecubian_devil I think the operative hypothesis should be that a coherent, willful potus can compel Israel to do what she/he wants, no matter this hysterical bluster. And, someday, that leverage might lead to humane outcomes.

LAT's Steve Lopez on Bass: "So how has she done? "Not great. And then there’s the fire. ... "Bass badly underreacted, then stumbled on the rebuilding, and then had a hand in downplaying the Fire Department’s failure to adequately deploy and extinguish the fire." That's from his column ATTACKING Bass' challenger, Spencer Pratt. Bass' terrible performance means he has to sneer at Pratt even harder. [Link in replies]

@ASDem @yeselson CVH has the votes in the caucus to win? I like CVH a lot, have known him since I was 17 and working as a page in the MD leg, but I don’t think he’s someone who is going to be leader in the future. How much fundraising has he done for the caucus?

Unapologetically running, and taking advantage of the early start to carve out a lane on an issue of import where he can establish his normie bonafides. I get the play, and it’s good execution. (Yes, I am ready for the smoke lol)
Rahm Emanuel@RahmEmanuel

There are three doors a child walks through that will determine their future: the front door of the home, the front door of the school, and the front door of the place of worship. If those three doors are not aligned, it impacts a child’s education and future. Today, 50% of our kids cannot read at grade level. Republicans have abandoned public education, Democrats have abandoned standards and accountability, and our kids are the ones paying the ultimate price.

@blankslate2017 @ChrisVanHollen Right—and she is not going to get that within an Uncommitted pitch to people like Harris or even Andy Levin, which Uncommitted heavily courted. And, as smart politician, 100.% she knows that.

Blank Slate@blankslate2017·
@yeselson @ChrisVanHollen That's attributing an objective to the Uncommitted that simply doesn't align with their view. If you look at folks like Tlaib, their goal is to relitigate 1948 and eliminate the Jewish State.

Significant. @ChrisVanHollen is first mover on major I/P changes—kind of “two states with real teeth”, and not in a glib throwaway line in an interview but at coherent essay length. Deferred fruits of Uncommitted. Calls the question for other candidates because, yes, “Folks….”
Senator Chris Van Hollen@ChrisVanHollen

Democrats have provided reflexive & unconditional support to Netanyahu & Israeli governments, even as they undermined the values we claimed to stand for.   It's time to end taxpayer-funded support & condition arms sales to end the occupation & salvage a 2-state solution. nytimes.com/2026/05/26/opi…

@blankslate2017 @ChrisVanHollen Operationally it did within the Party. That was the realistic push. Van Hollen was all they were hoping for from Biden/Harris and all it could have realistically expected. That was the electoral politics of it.

@brianros1 No. Not only are they not comparable on the merits—not by a mile—but Platner is a senate candidate, not a presidential nominee.

Saying that Graham Platner doesn’t meet your moral standards isn’t the same as tacitly supporting Susan Collins. That’s exactly how we got Donald Trump: Republicans who felt like, well that’s our guy, & I have to support him despite his flaws.
Michael@mbyrnes37

@brianros1 Any Democrat who tacitly supports Susan Collins in this year of all years, should niot be in any sort of position of leadership inn the caucus and should be judged on that fact by voters.

@ASDem You might be right. But I have a feeling he’s got bigger ambitions.

@JoePostingg That’s the point. Actual Nazis—even closeted ones—do and say Nazi stuff or, at least, ultra-right stuff if they want to not own their out and out nazism. They don’t run for office as leftist Democrats defending lgbtq rights.

Platner seems like a dumb guy, but he has not articulated any hateful beliefs or policy preferences. I find it puzzling that people are acting like he is a dyed in the wool Nazi.
