Not a bad starting list, but we're going to be evaluating them on a whole lot more.

[Amanda Litman @amandalitman]

Evaluate every potential 2028 candidate on whether they can do a 30 second video, a 3 minute cable hit, a 30 minute speech, and a 3 hour (or similarly long, off-the-cuff) podcast interview.

If they can't do authentically do all four styles in a way that's both disciplined & entertaining, then at some point they're going to crash out in 2027/2028.

So far this cycle, what I've heard from parents is pay our teachers and fix our schools, not give our kids AI tutors.

Also if you are concerned about reading levels, you need less screens and more phonics.

[Alexander Russo @alexanderrusso]

So far, Emanuel hasn't gotten Dems to rally around a focus on education, but he's saying all the right things when it comes to what parents say they want.

Can Democrats win on education reform? https://t.co/fwP6ebIJVP

@maustermuhle Did you want your home address up there for everyone?

This is gorgeous

It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby — a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist — to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display in the Hope and Change lobby at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.

@patdennis I hope this peace lasts - at least through the fledging

[Monica Huegel @OnlyHueMon]

@ChazNuttycombe I’m so sorry!

[Monica Huegel @OnlyHueMon]

There's more?

[Alex Seitz-Wald @aseitzwald]

This was overshadowed by everything else, but a claim Platner made about his private schooling isn’t true. https://t.co/pSSSC3cnAl

Dec 2025 - Taiwan "will not receive all the F-16V fighter jets it purchased from the U.S. by the end of 2026, as originally promised. (Axios)

Mar 2026 - US Intelligence says China doesn't plan to invade Taiwan in 2027, but still wants unification (NBC News)

Now this:

[Responsible Statecraft @RStatecraft]

Did Hung Cao just say the quiet part out loud, that we cannot fight multiple wars simultaneously and send weapons to #Taiwan at the same time? @stavroulapabst https://t.co/79HW8FBN7c

This is Clinton Emails saturation levels from the NYT. probably even more.

@citizenwillis @amprog Oof do not put this in direct quotes when you are paraphrasing him.

@lizchar I was so ready to object to this…

This really was a major mistake that had severe down ballot impact.

[Tom Bonier @tbonier]

Ironically, if people read what the DNC did release from their post mortem, they would see that one major finding from 2024 was how much of a mistake it was for Dems to hold so much of their spending until the end, when it was too late to undo the harm the Trump campaign inflicted.

[Monica Huegel @OnlyHueMon]

This is Hollins erasure.

[J. Miles Coleman @JMilesColeman]

The new VA-6 is the only Dem-leaning seat in VA where the redistricting vote is failing--I have it losing 51%-49% there atm.

Part of that was probly b/c turnout in college precincts was down notably from what they cast last year (purple). Gold precincts had better turnout.

[Liz Shuler @LizShuler]

CBS News @WGAEast union members just ratified a contract with strong AI guardrails, including advance notice and a say in when and how this tech is used. Workers are shaping the future of AI.

Wow can’t imagine why the DNC would ever be worried about a mass privacy hack.

Oh wait.

[Rotimi Adeoye @_rotimia]

@wetmintsalad Using it to draft a press release on soon to be public information isn’t a privacy concern unless there’s a mass privacy hack in the hours before you send something on the wire
