If Texas does finally turn blue this year, you can’t say there weren’t signs

[G Elliott Morris @gelliottmorris]

Matthew Yglesias continues to say that talking about ICE and excessive force in immigration enforcement helps Republicans. He is obviously wrong about this and refuses to acknowledge the data. Way past time for everyone to update their priors on this.

Dear Leader wants his Bootlickers to come back

WSJ: The U.S. is expected to remove 50% tariffs on some Canadian products in a bid to help Maine Sen. Susan Collins and other Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections, according to people familiar with the upcoming action.

[Michael Weiss @michaeldweiss]

More reporting suggesting that Musk does indeed have his finger on Starshield's operability. Quite a lot of power for a ketamine-addicted trillionaire in bed with hostile foreign regimes. You might even say this endangers U.S. national security. https://t.co/rGcOIzFv0z

Stand with Zelensky and against Putin.
Stand with Pope Leo XIV and against ICE.
Stand with No Kings and against Meta.
Stand with the people and against the oligarchs.
Stand with liberal democracy and against Trump.

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

Actually we were correct to note Trump’s routinely bizarre, obsequious posture toward Putin. Just because you chose not to see it until now when it’s shoved directly in everyone’s face doesn’t make us hysterical, it makes you transparently wrong all along.

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

Lindsay Graham is such a cautionary tale. Even in death, Trump is selling him out to Putin.

Tough medicine for those who fret about holding jackals accountable, claim Dems’ only path forward is droning some poll-tested message about kitchen tables (or some such), and always assume jackal accountability must be distinct from kitchen table talk

[Adam Carlson @admcrlsn]

Corruption is going to be one of the biggest issues of the 2028 election.

And candidates who can speak about it in a compelling way — and can effectively draw a direct line from corruption to other top issues, like how it affects the cost of living — will be rewarded by voters.

Per the latest Fox News poll, more voters are concerned about corruption in government (88%) than they are about inflation/high prices (85%) & gas prices (83%).

And it’s not just one side that’s worried about it — 73% of liberals, 64% of moderates & 49% of conservatives are “extremely concerned” about it.

How they define corruption — and who is partaking in it — may differ, but there’s a populist anti-corruption mantle that’s just waiting to be snatched up.

You do not hate Trump enough.

“But if I gave them a couple pure facts, and they understand it easily, this is related to the Strait of Hormuz...”

Competition is pretty stiff, but the best news House Dems may get this week is this pompous, very weird, bumbler plans to stay on as GOP Leader

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Speaker Johnson: “Everybody’s frustrated about the high prices of fuel, obviously, but that’s not related to policies, that’s not related to Republicans in office…

…this is related to the straight of Hormuz.”

Who wants to tell him?

[Greg Speed @GregRSpeed]

@joshgeise Bold statement to match that bold new bouffant

[Maurice Moe Mitchell 🐺 @MauriceWFP]

Let’s be clear about what’s happening:

Donald Trump is using the Department of Justice to target his political opponents.

He wants to draw attention away from his failed leadership weeks before the election.

I stand with Ilhan.

If Milwaukee and Cleveland meet in the World Series, it would be the first time in history that the World Series features two cities where the Edmund Fitzgerald once docked.

In case you were wondering.

[John Harwood @JohnJHarwood]

unfortunately even now too many people can't/won't acknowledge what is obviously true:

we have a corrupted, depraved, extremist party, and a normal party with normal political flaws

saying so harms some people's relationships or self-image of being even-handed

but it's a fact

Chicago is going to be eating good on Tuesday.

@tbonier A true legend… RIP, Gersh

[Greg Speed @GregRSpeed]

@AdamGreen @neeratanden I think you’re both right

[Scott Lemieux @LemieuxLGM]

Troy Jackson is not the most dynamic speaker I've ever heard, but if Maine voters demanded eloquence or charisma from their politicians Susan Collins wouldn't have been serving them in the Senate since the Coolidge administration

[Greg Speed @GregRSpeed]

Folks, check your polling assumptions + takes on here against one near certainty: Trump is in a new stratosphere of unpopularity unlike any previous cycle

(So recalled vote of T +6 in a +12 state doesn’t necessarily = a biased poll rn)
