wild to think - if all the Californians voted and advocated for their actual top choice instead of what The Narrative (steered by insiders, donors, super PACs, and ad buys) told them was Pragmatic, how different would this race look?

close enough - welcome back, Leslie Knope ❤️

Young people are always told what not to do. But what should you do?

Did you know that most public libraries have a Nintendo Switch to use? That parks show free movies at night? That there's a map of pickup basketball games?

https://t.co/Nb8rOAGO4T is a map of free and affordable things to do this summer that we made just for you.

Because public programs mean nothing if you don't know how to access them.

When you see the videos of chaos at Delaney Hall, remember that in a few days Congressional Republicans will try to pass a budget bill that would give tens of billions $ more to ICE with zero accountability/reforms. Let’s make our voices heard to stop this bill.

[Peyton Lewis @peytonlewis__]

Reminder: 7 weeks ago, Angie Craig was so desperate to persuade delegates ahead of the DFL endorsement that she demanded debates before the convention this weekend

Now she’s shunning the convention and ignoring those voters altogether!

This is the behavior of a losing campaign.

There are days when I miss being an editor and I particularly loved writing headlines. Whoever did this, I hope they took the rest of the day off.

@MookerT56 yes, your passion for The Policy is evident

[Emmy Bengtson @EmmyA2]

Not on team Mallory but shit like this, which is everywhere, pisses me off. We've fully swung from vicious, gross, personal hate on Stevens (not policy positions) to equally vicious, gross, personal hate on McMorrow *and her staff*! These people are doing their jobs. Get a life.

[Emmy Bengtson @EmmyA2]

You can just hate women candidates and the people who work for them ~*for some reason*~ and say that.

[Tim Miller @Timodc]

Have been pretty down on the Porter campaign but this is a really excellent answer am impressed.

If you can't handle questions from KTLA how could you possibly stand up for California against Trump? lol

[Emmy Bengtson @EmmyA2]

So we're all going to be up in arms about his temperament now, right? Right?

[Kevin Liao @KevinLiao_]

Everyone’s been wondering whether Xavier Becerra can withstand scrutiny.

Take a look at this interview clip and judge for yourself.

Oops! Did YOU read the bill before you tweeted? July 30 + 30 day grace period = August 29. Next, can you drop the link for the strategy behind the other three (3) times you voted for a blank check in Iran? Try to proofread first, this time.

[Tom Barrett @tombarrettmi7]

@MattMaasdam Sorry you didn't read it before running to X to share your views from Ann Arbor. This bill has all these things: a clear mission, a strategy that prohibits boots on the ground, and a deadline to end the conflict by July 30. Attached so you can read it. https://t.co/7Bbqof4LLm

[Emmy Bengtson @EmmyA2]

so you agree, people are reading too much into internet news cycles about this primary

[umichvoter @umichvoter]

is there anything that is justifying this panic besides a Glengariff poll that seems similar if not better than an year ago?

People are reading too much into internet micro news cycles, theres 90 days left

[Team Katie @TeamKatiePorter]

Katie's taken accountability. No man on this stage has.

I said what I said.

Full campaign ad ⬇️

[Peyton Lewis @peytonlewis__]

NEW polling in #MNSen shows @peggyflanagan maintaining a double digit lead over Rep. Angie Craig, 44%-33%.

For months, dark money super PACs have been running ads & sending mail trying to shore up Rep. Craig, spending $2 million to date.

Rep. Craig is stuck in the 30s.
