i don't understand this line of argument. you hired me last cycle to help lessen the impact of 3rd party candidates!

do you want a 3rd party that makes it harder for democrats to get elected, or do you want a big tent party?

you should come on my channel and we can discuss!

My .02: I think NYTs “anyone but Zohran” editorial in the 2025 mayor’s race shouldn’t be forgotten. A helpful demonstratration the massive gap between liberal establishment and the Dem base post-2024.

All across the country — we hear Mamdani cited as a model what people want in their politics. And that’s about more than lefty ideology, but how his approach to governing centers voters first

On @majorityfm with @emmavigeland and @samseder

[Astead @AsteadWH]

Voters left the 2024 cycle with a different (and more accurate) understanding of the priorities of Dem party leadership: not stopping Trump — as was assumed — but retaining their own power and relevance.

Establishment dug its own grave through its own actions. Cause and effect

The second shortest saddest story of all time

[The New York Times @nytimes]

A 5-year-old from Queens won $5,000 in a Jalen Brunson look-alike contest this week. After he won, the boy turned to a camera and had this to say: “Thank you, Polymarket!” https://t.co/j3494DeeNz

Trump's "strongly approve" number is down to 21% in the new @maristpoll.

That's his lowest since 2018.

[Jill Filipovic @JillFilipovic]

Kinda feels like a lot of world leaders are sensing that Trump is weak, nearly a lame duck, and they no longer have to even pretend to appease him.

[Matt Duss @mattduss]

Democrats made a huge mistake in letting Trump take the antiwar lane in 2024. He quickly abandoned it. It would be staggeringly incompetent to allow him to retake it now.

There’s a longstanding US bipartisan consensus around wildly inflating the Iranian threat. Trump’s war, a strategic defeat, was an expression of that consensus.

If the MOU ending the war puts the US and Iran on path to a more normal relationship, that will be a positive thing.

[David Dayen @ddayen]

Just looked at the "end" of the war in Iran.
Really it's the beginning of a long, slow return to a status quo that we're buying our way into restoring. This week is likely the lowest oil prices get for a few months.

ESPN implies that Gianni Infantino personally told Iran plans had changed and they had to leave the US for Mexico immediately after last night’s game in LA, leaving no time whatsoever for recovery.

Iran’s next game is in… LA.

For those wondering the visa bond implemented by the Trump admin against Cape Verde is $15,000 per person. Many players in this tournament are here without family or personal support because they literally cannot afford the visa.

[Men in Blazers @MenInBlazers]

Look what it means to the 40-year-old Cape Verde goalkeeper, Vozinha 🥹

The joy of the World Cup is that two hours ago, few knew his name. Now everyone on the planet is saying it with awe and respect. What a performance, what a result 🇨🇻

[Kayla Epstein 📰 @KaylaEpstein]

NYC, we gotta keep outside summer going. Use all our new Knicks projectors to play World Cup matches on a random Tuesday. Have Spike Lee movie marathons on the side of your building.
