Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA) when asked whether the Democratic Party should be pro-Israel
“We are a party that believes in Israel's right to exist. What I want is an Israel that is safe and secure and that is at peace with its neighbors. And a two state solution that honors the humanity of all the people in that region.”

LA hot take.
In 2022 @RickCarusoLA came out of election night with a 5-pt lead on @KarenBassLA, and ended up losing by 7pts.
The early vote in LA is 14-pts more Rep, more male, and older Dems are voting later.
An early number of 40% for @spencerpratt is possible.
But that number is not durable. It plummets with the later ballots.
I’ve been waiting for this moment for ten years, a moment I never thought I’d see.
Congratulations Aubry on winning!! And thank you for listening to that 22 year old (and I’m sure many other people too) who told you to go back out to that island ❤️❤️❤️

As some of you may know, I am a huge #Survivor fan (SPOILERS below)!
Ten years ago, I got to see the survivor finale live at the studio. I waited hours in line and sat on the side of the stage.

I was right there, about 15-20 ft from the winner, the winner I was hoping would be someone else.
Then just a couple of hours later, I got to meet that person. I told her “I’d better see you back out on the island.”
That person was @aubrybracco

Under Biden’s last year, the U.S. economy added an average of 122,000 jobs every month. Under Trump, that average has collapsed to just 26,000 a month. In Trump math, that’s a “500% decrease.” (Around 80% in real math.)
My @Morning_Joe Chart:
The new LA Metro D Line will get you crosstown 17 minutes faster than driving during the AM rush, and that’s why it will be wildly successful. Transit that’s faster or as fast as driving is what will get car trips off LA streets!

☑️SCOOP: GOP blame game erupts over Virginia redistricting “abject failure"
Local Virginia Republicans say the national apparatus — from Trump World to the RNC and beyond — botched the most consequential campaign of the cycle: One that dealt with the fate of four House GOP seats that could have help save the majority
I was hearing these whispers as recently as this weekend. A couple folks even went on record with frustrations.
"They've been reactive," one local chair told me of Virginians for Fair Maps, which was running point on the "no" side.
Others say the RNC fell down: “I have heard multiple complaints about no help from the RNC... The RNCs should have been more helpful," another district leader argued.
Whomever they blame, they agreed on one thing: that national GOP leaders were asleep at the wheel when they were outgunned by the Dems.
Maybe it's all just blame-shifting amid a likely loss. But tonight, lot of Republicans not happy in Virginia.

I’m a broken record on this but Trump’s firewall from 2016-2025 was voter trust in his handling of the economy. Not MAGA culture wars. That firewall has now been breached, and his overall approval is sinking to unusual levels. https://t.co/2cBUrb1neG
Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
