Ossoff: "I have zero interest in running for president in 2028. I love serving the state of Georgia. Let's keep our eyes on the ball, folks. We need to win decisively in Georgia and every battleground state and every competitive US House district this fall."

[Acyn @Acyn]

Psaki: Patel's advisor said a lawsuit is being filed.

Fitzpatrick: I stand by every word of this reporting. We have excellent attorneys.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Kerry: I was part of the any number of conversations with Netanyahu.

Psaki: Pitching the US strike Iran?

Kerry: Yes, he wanted us to strike. He came to president Obama. He made a presentation to ask to strike. President Obama refused. President Biden refused. President Bush refused. The only president who has agreed to this, obviously, is President Trump

[Acyn @Acyn]

Goldberg responds to Hegseth: I’m going to be responsible and not disclose the things that I read and saw. I will describe them to you. The specific time of a future attack, specific targets, weapon systems, section on sequencing

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Freeland: "If these tariffs are put in place, it is going to hurt Americans ... your grocery prices are gonna go up, bc you know what you need to grow food in the US? You need fertilizer. 80% of it comes from Canada and you're gonna be a 25% tax on it? ... the WSJ is right. This is dumb."

Longtime fan of Jemele Hill. She has the best analogy for what Democrats need to do right now. And much more she had to say in our latest episode of The Blueprint https://t.co/RnqCi4k3hq

Elon Musk can spot an opportunity and he’s spotted one in Brad Schimel.

Musk’s company sued the state, and now he’s trying to buy a seat on the court with Schimel.

Newsom: What's not helpful or beneficial is these wild eyed fantasies that somehow there's a magical spigot in California that just can be turned on. And all of a sudden there will be rain or water flowing everywhere. It's not helpful.. amplified by Elon Musk

[Acyn @Acyn]

Newsom on a question about Trump and misinformation: Let me answer that by thanking President Biden, who within 36 hours supported a major disaster declaration by text, within a few minutes, later committed 100%

[Acyn @Acyn]

Newsom: They had a zoom the other night and everyone broke down crying because all they wanted to do was see the faces of one another. And yet that's the face of leadership in the US, conditioning aid to the American people in need. Politicizing this tragic moment.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Psaki: I'm assuming he didn't bring up his intention to publicly say he was going to annex through economic means Canada

Trudeau: When I started to suggest there could be a trade for Vermont or California, he immediately decided that it was not not that funny anymore.

[The Briefing with Jen Psaki @PsakiBriefing]

SUNDAY at 12pm ET on @MSNBC: Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau

[Acyn @Acyn]

Raskin: Donald Trump is very proud of the fact that he won the popular vote by 3 million votes, the way that Joe Biden was proud of the fact that he won by 7 million votes four years ago. Okay, why don't we all agree just to have a popular vote for election..

“Mostly, I'm trying to learn from it. And think about what comes next. Because now is a time to reflect. It's definitely a time to be humble. But it's also a time to be very, very curious.”

@jrpsaki on what happened, and where we go from here:

.@jonfavs: “[Harris] had to walk the highest, narrowest tight-rope, and you can count maybe on one hand how many times that she stumbled in the 107 days of this campaign. What she has done is beyond remarkable… Donald Trump doesn’t even have a message right now.”
