.@JamesTalarico: There's been a lot of talk in this race about what it means to be a real man.

Recently on the campaign trail I told the story of my adoptive dad, Mark Talarico. Every Saturday morning, he would mow our lawn, and then without anyone asking him to, he would go next door and mow our neighbor's lawn because she was a widow. My dad never talked about it — he just did it, because that's what a man does.

A man takes responsibility, upholds his commitments to his family and his neighbors, and does what's right, even when no one is watching.

Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life, sell their soul to the highest bidder, or steal from other people in order to enrich themselves. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

I welcome this debate about what it means to be a man, and I don't think Ken Paxton or Ted Cruz are in a position to tell anybody what a real man is.

@CJMordock Arbuckle, Weis, and Klein are probably getting P4 calls this cycle giving the reshuffle in the coming days.

The mainstream media may not discuss it, but here's the fact:

Three people —Musk, Bezos & Zuckerberg — now own more wealth than the bottom half of American society.

A handful of corporations control what is produced & the prices we pay.

Capitalism is broken.

@RodWalkerNola I use the non-dome/SKC lots/garages. Most were double their usual Pels gameday prices. guess the parking titans decided to take full advantage. a lot of folks who are accustomed to parking at the dome probably had to park significantly farther away and pay more for the privilege.

So, immigrants come to this country (with fentanyl & guns to sell) but steal your job demanding to work for less than minimum wage. Then, with all those sub-minimum wages, outbid you on a house. (And may be eat your pets). Got it.

@DKNetwork @mikegolicjr @golic @GoJoandGolic @DraftKings @Jessie_Coffield I used to live around the corner from this hotel. They always flew opposing team’s flags (even OSU).

@BigJayteeCook @Rasberry_TR I used to live around the corner. The Graduate hotel always flew the opposing team’s flag when I was there.

I think one reason so many people are warming to Tim Walz is that it's extremely uncommon to see a Democrat forcefully defend liberal policies rather than seeming embarrassed about them and embracing conservative framings.

Another new era is on the horizon.

For St. Petersburg, for Tampa Bay and for Rays fans – the future is bright!

I love doing this insane lawyer trick that very few people know about. I call it "reading the cases my opponent cites"

[Jake Weixler @JakeWeixler]

@FQMule Heard it too. Always jarring.

My 9 y/o: We have to take the LEAP test. Every 3rd grader in Louisiana has to.
Me: Even in Ruston?
9: Where?
Me: Far away town in the north of Louisiana.
9: If it's in La., then yeah.
Me: Hammond?
9: Yeah.
Me: Tickfaw?
9: Yeah!
Me: Opelousas?
9: Now you're just making stuff up.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on abortion: “I think old white men need to learn how to talk about this a little more. And I think the biggest thing is: listen to women. Listen to what they’re saying…They’re speaking loudly on the issue, and they’re speaking at the ballot box.”
