@mattyglesias Matt is either naive or deceptive. Guy has never voted anything other than leftwing.

Very smart take on what went wrong in the past, and exactly the kind of pledge to be different from a generic baseline Democrat that you need to win in tough races.

James Talarico on listening to real Texans about border policy, not the groups in DC who say they represent them.

@ricardohx4 @AdamJSchwarz @OrganizationTao Seems very different than saying something that might personally offend someone who suffered emotional trauma.
English
@KCOracle @AdamJSchwarz @OrganizationTao It’s like saying to someone who was abused in childhood “Hey, remember that time you got abused aged 12?” out loud, in public…. That’s a Gaffe. But also the truth.
But you just don’t go about doing it do you? 🤔

Reporter: Why didn't you notify Japan that you were going to attack Iran?
Trump next to the Japanese PM:
"Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Habour? You believe in surprise I think much more so than us."
English
@DemonFly666 @AdamJSchwarz @OrganizationTao I assume you don’t equate the evil Japaneses attack on democratic America with the American attack on evil dictatorship Iran.
English
@KCOracle @AdamJSchwarz @OrganizationTao It's also true that we killed and enslaved Black people and Native Americans, should she have brought that up ,just for conversation? Maybe tie it into some witty joke about genocide or something?😕
English
@DemonFly666 @AdamJSchwarz @OrganizationTao Love Jersey City, but your Trump dislike prompts you to raise an analogy to a statement that did not happen and seems to have no relationship to relevant issue. Trump’s on point analogy might be unnecessarily offensive, but hard to see significance.
English
@AdamJSchwarz @OrganizationTao Why is it significant? It was not necessary and perhaps rude, but true.
English
Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi's reaction as Trump says "Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Habour?"
Undoubtedly the worst American diplomatic gaffe in post-war US-Japan history.

@DefiantLs Hate video that cuts off reply. Interested in how he answered.

Rand Paul to DHS Sec. nominee Markwayne Mullin,
"You told the media I was a 'freaking snake' and you understood why I was assaulted."
"Today... Tell it to my face!"

When I say “chewing tobacco” who’s the first MLB player that comes to mind?

@Zigmanfreud Probably. But Swalwell so bad that something strange could happen.
English
This result will get a lot of attention, but unfortunately it should not. Democrats will get behind Swalwell and Republicans will be lucky to have one candidate in November, when they will then get crushed.

@klseaboldt I heard Kurtis on radio more often lately and he is excellent on sports (even if I don’t care for his detours on Twitter into left wing TDS stuff).
English
Maybe I’m just an old softy, but that entire post game — the players celebrating on the podium, the anthem, the interviews with the players, especially Salvy — was legitimately an emotional experience. I don’t mean tears. I mean something that literally lifted my spirits.

@Tracy2087148 @EWErickson Speculation about how dead evil guy might have handled “peace” negotiations after crushing military loss is bright? Come on.
English
@EWErickson Nicholas Kristof is a pretty bright guy. I'd pay attention. You can only keep your head in the sand for so long.
English
It's always amazing how easy it is for 3rd world totalitarian despots to woo progressive journalists.
Nicholas Kristof@NickKristof
I fear @vali_nasr is right. When I met Ali Larijani I found him an absolute insider kingpin of the Iranian regime -- but also the kind of strong and pragmatic leader who just might be able to hammer out a peace deal. Not sure, but I wonder if the war will now be harder to end.
English
@EWErickson @CHSommers Absolutely remarkable. Naïveté or TDS or both? How can he not understand that speculation about how a dead evil guy would handle “peace” negotiations after military crushing is absurd. He must know, but desperate to rip Trump.
English
@Peoples_Pundit Seems like a dumb take 2.5 years away and in middle of Iran situation.

Marco Rubio has no path to 270 in the Electoral College. Not until 2032 anyway.
He's not winning Michigan, Pennsylvania or Wisconsin.

@jimgeraghty Jim is missing that she has the minority path to herself. Any knowledgeable, objective and realistic person has to put her at #1 at this point.

Put me down as contending that Harris’ frontrunner status will prove as durable as a sandcastle once 2027 begins.

@FrankLuntz @pewresearch Bad take by Luntz. Focus should be on voters and especially persuadable voters and their followers.
English
Last year, @PewResearch found that only 21% of U.S. adults use X, and just 10% visit it daily.
The loudest platform in politics reaches barely 1 in 5 Americans.
Axios@axios
Most Americans are too busy for social media, too normal for politics, too rational to tweet. They work, raise kids, coach Little League — and never post a word about any of it. This isn't a small minority. It's a monstrous, if silent, majority. axios.com/2026/03/11/ame…
English
@epluribun @MarkHalperin @NextUpHalperin Not that far, but valid point that minority path is all Harris on this point and she is running.
English
@MarkHalperin @NextUpHalperin Until you put Kamala at 1, this ranking will be a joke. You think there's a world where any of those white dudes win more minority vote than Kamala?
