@_Almaqah And why do white Coloradans love us? Do I need to move?

[Addisu Demissie @ASDem]

@amolsnaik Surely does not!

They are running the perfect race. Seek no limelight, involve yourself in no nonsense, just focus in state, and show up a conquering hero in November/January.

We should talk more about what Roy Cooper is doing right in North Carolina.

After eight seasons with the Lakers, including leading the franchise to the 2020 NBA championship, James departs and enters free agency set to join a new team.

Lakers president Rob Pelinka and Rich Paul spoke a short time ago about the four-time champion's plans, sources said. James chose to inform the Lakers well before start of free agency tonight out of courtesy and appreciation for their run together, and to allow LA to conduct its offseason business.

One of the realest ones there ever was. One the goodest fights ever fought. ✊🏾

Big props to Becca Slaughter for fighting this all the way out. A consummate public servant. I know this wasn't easy or fun. We need more people like her in the arena, not fewer. ❤️

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is declining his $27.7 million player option to become a free agent, sources tell ESPN. This move gives the Warriors flexibility to pursue LeBron James in free agency and Anthony Davis via trade to form a Big 4.

Look folks can hate on the DNC all they want but the primary purpose of the organization is to select a presidential nominee and get them elected. They get to set the rules! It’s all the other stuff that’s arguably superfluous!

[Armando @ArmandoNDK]

come on man. They control the early calendar. That's it.

Stop feeding conspiracy nonsense

[Addisu Demissie @ASDem]

I am nihilistic about this. Poll coverage is like cocaine to Twitter/media. Topline numbers are too juicy for people on here to pause and analyze methodology/motives/crosstabs critically. Unfortunately, you just gotta ride the waves.

[Corey Hutchins @CoreyHutchins]

I wonder how/if newsrooms are thinking about the way they cover polls in the era of prediction market betting. Bennet was way ahead before these stories just came out. Now Weiser is way ahead: https://t.co/L0dXZ68mu5

@mattyglesias Everyone’s a gangsta on Twitter

[Addisu Demissie @ASDem]

Well yeah except for the entire presidential delegate selection process lol

[David Weigel @daveweigel]

The beginning of wisdom is realizing that the DNC can’t really control anything

[Addisu Demissie @ASDem]

Dem presidential primaries are actually two separate but related acts: the elite/engaged activist primary of 26/27 and the regular voter primary of 28. You just gotta survive and advance the prelims to give yourself a chance in the finals.

I’m in here alongside some of my faves like @rpearcey @Rob_Flaherty @quentinfulks @Messina2012 et al. Didn’t get the memo that I was supposed to drop some f-bombs tho.

Did manage to get my main 2028 #take in here which is ⬇️

“If we thought 2020 was a clusterfuck, this is going to put that to shame.”

On the chaotic 2028 Dem prez primary, a race that could feature
- 20+ candidates
- No real front-runner (will KH run?)
- a DNC unable to manage the process
- much, much more

Ben Shapiro: This MOU appears to be a disaster that does not achieve any of the actual goals set by the administration at the beginning. The Vice President, the chief negotiator on this project has not well served the president.
