I read this entire story and my takeaway is she’s an incredibly normal human being dealing with very normal human grief while living a public life in the stress of a campaign & there are too many staff who think they are the main character.

If you elect me as your next U.S. Senator, the letters next to my name that matter will be the AR.

Tonight was my first game without my good friend, Adam. We all missed you tonight, but we all believe you might have had a hand in that one. Oh, I would have loved doing that postgame analysis video with you!
You would have been proud of @LNR_4 @ocuhayes and @lzmunsterteiger!

Senior strategist close to the Black Caucus tells me: “Bernie Sanders’ odd obsession with attempting to defeat CBC incumbents has become one of the most predictable failures in Democratic politics.”

[Rahm Emanuel @RahmEmanuel]

You can be focused on winning tough races, flipping red seats blue. Or you can be focused on abolishing prisons and... the Senate and Supreme Court? You can’t do both. I’m for winning this November and ending Trump’s corruption - and I’m also for putting an end to all the distractions from the DSA.

We've reached the "rooting against Black voter turnout" stage of the Democratic primary.

"Those cool kids on the Internet doing the cool kid chatter. Some of 'em might be the coastal elites, making fun of how I talk. They're making fun of Michigan. They're thinking they're better than us. Their jokes, and their criticism, only make me fight harder."

The true import of what Starmer did behind the scenes after Trump’s return to power to support Ukraine, rally Europe behind Kyiv and diplomatically beat off Putin when it comes to Washington remains a story not fully told. Much of it quite rightly confidential and classified. But in due course, how pivotal this moment was and what he achieved as a diplomat will come to be seen as one of the most complex and against the odds successes of British diplomacy. Together Starmer and Macron have stabilised what was almost a very bad situation — the task now falls to Burnham to sustain this and react with similar subtlety at the next twist.

I said a while back that no one should feel pressured into supporting Graham Platner. My kind of senators are from my home state of Georgia: Ossoff and Warnock. Serious people. Normal Democrats. Winners.

[Armand Domalewski @ArmandDoma]

all of this stuff makes a lot more sense when you realize that graham platner was a rich person's idea of a poor person

[Anthony Albanese @AlboMP]

I consider @Keir_Starmer a friend and I'm thinking of him on what must be a very tough day.

Serving in public life is a tremendous privilege but politics can also be a harsh business.

When the time comes for Keir to leave Downing Street, he can be proud of the contribution he has made to the country he loves and to the Labour Party that he led back to Government in 2024.

I'm grateful for the opportunities we had to work together to strengthen our AUKUS defence and security partnership, support the brave people of Ukraine and keep children safe from the damage that social media can do.

I wish Keir, Victoria and their children well with everything the future holds.

Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal.

Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan.

All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

[Jacinta Allan @JacintaAllanMP]

Jess Wilson has just announced a Liberal plan to cut $40 billion from the state budget. But the vast majority of the budget is health and education. So you just can't make $40 billion in cuts without cutting hospitals and schools.

[Evan DeSimone @Smorgasboredom]

Between launching Mark Carney and sinking Orban this administration has done more for global liberalism than George Soros.

[Alec 🍇 @alecdon03]

Will forever be grateful for these two.

Dems are going to absolutely romp among Latinos in the midterms, but I’m worried they’re going to take the wrong lesson from it.

It won’t be out of love for us, but rather to punish Trump/Rs. We will still have a ton of work to do to keep Latinos voting blue in 2028 & beyond.
