The field is opening up so much that Democrats are spending in Mississippi and the NRCC Chair is fighting for his life in North Carolina and the head of CAP is still litigating the Michigan primary. With 12 days until the general election, this is a generational run of obsession.

[The Debt Collective 🟥 @StrikeDebt]

To be very straightforward here, we have a series of creative strategies we think *many* people can use to avoid defaulting on their loans or *fighting* the default. Millions will default — but that doesn't have to be the end. Join us to avoid financial ruin and fight back.

🚨NEWS: Roger Marshall's top donor, 30-year business partner and good friend is Dan Tasset, a private equity mogul who has bankrupted hospitals nationwide.
Marshall & his wife have invested in several funds from the PE firm, known as Nueterra. 🧵

In unearthed video, Vivek Ramaswamy mocks Amy Acton’s childhood sexual abuse, saying she just “complains about what someone else did to her.” Repulsive.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

JD Vance doubling down on the claim that Amy Acton and her brother are lying about being abused as children.

If he is so sure, then why did the state strip custody? Truly despicable given JD’s own upbringing.

What if his mom was still an addict and did an ad calling JD a liar for his book? Would he be ok with that? Soulless behavior.

I’ve been detained by the IDF, along with a group of rabbis & volunteers. We were simply harvesting olives in a grove near Nehalim in the West Bank.

The occupation is a crime under international law. Harvesting olives isn’t a crime under any law I know.

[jasper nathaniel @infinite_jaz]

To spell it out: The activist/journalist who filmed this video of @washingtonpost’s Heidi Levine being brutally assaulted on Friday was just violently arrested by Israeli police while documenting a military raid on an olive harvest in Taybeh—where diplomats were attacked on Saturday.

Whoops Third Way accidentally promoting support for single-payer.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

Neera could wait until after the election to call the primary rigged but nah, she’s just gonna do that now.

[Molly Jong-Fast @MollyJongFast]

This is one of the many ways in which the Republican Party has been anti-democracy way before Trump came along

[jasper nathaniel @infinite_jaz]

Over a dozen masked settlers just attacked Turmus’ayya. Burned an American home and severely beat an American citizen, Chicagoan Mohammed Sakat. One town over from Abu Falah and was attacked on the same day. They’re really cracking down here.

[Sam Seder @SamSeder]

@yeselson @mattyglesias nowhere does Matt address my claim. And nowhere in that tweet did I make the claim he claims I’m lying about. Im well aware of the $ the dems have spent. MI is crucial for 2028. Aside from that: re his straw man about delusional theories & chess…. https://t.co/T6zeVTvSGM

[charles r. davis @charizardavis]

bulwark host bill kristol offers no pushback in this clip of james carville saying he would rather the republicans keep the house by 5, so that democrats aren't "hostage to the dsa."

and at the end of the interview, carville says he isn't voting himself! you can't make this up!

[Omar Elayat @oelayat]

Matt will dig up senate races from 2004 to win an argument, but on this one he's going on vibes. Here's the data:

Americans who won't vote for a Muslim candidate they agree with (since 2016):
-All voters: 31% to 43%
-Republicans: 51% → 72%.
-Democrats: 13% → 18%

Curious how Matt plans to moderate "I agree with you, but you're Muslim." Maybe AES should try being 10% less Muslim and see how it polls.

@yeselson @mattyglesias Have done- at the least in terms of Obama Harris, we’ve covered that on my show. But the point I’m making in my tweet is Here and here

[Sam Seder @SamSeder]

@joshtpm Josh, im not contesting that. The point is that the DSCC hand picked candidates are now ranging from sub par to active drags in terms of supporting the nominees. im more “blue no matter who” than those fmr candidates and thats a problem that needs to be accounted for 1/2

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

Thanks @MarkPocan and for your vision and leadership.

There is also a difference between a debate with others in our party over issues (billionaire tax, medicare for all, repealing Laken Riley, no aid to Israel) and going after people personally. I'm for the former, not latter.

[Sam Seder @SamSeder]

@mikeisshocked I know you’ve never watched a minute of my 22 year old show, 3 hours a day 5 days a week. Even though you sound less than committed to all dem nominees winning you should try our show https://t.co/ERMCCEbEKV

[Sam Seder @SamSeder]

In Maine, Michigan and Minnesota we are watching the Democratic Establishment’s hand picked candidates lose and then either actively or passively undermine the party and or their nominee. This is an abject failure by the Democratic leadership.

[Politics & Poll Tracker 📡 @PollTracker2024]

Detroit News: Former Chair of the Michigan Democratic Party is leading an effort to make sure Democrats leave their ballot blank for the US Senate race in Michigan.

Lon Johnson, the former chair, supported Rep. Haley Stephens over El-Sayed in the August Democratic primary.

@joshtpm I’m not telling you anything you dont know. there’s a lot of pre-2028 narrative building happening in all quarters right now. Its a sideshow-maybe- but my show does nearly 15 hours a week of content that in some way helps beat republicans, some effort should look to the future

Centrist Dem policy is an op

[Jason Poulos @jasonvpoulos]

Majority Democrats, which is profiled in this piece, is funded almost entirely by a single hedge-fund billionaire who is a charter school zealot and heavily invested in hyperscalers and AI data centers. Yet this group is referred to as "center-left."
