Lots of people want Rahm 2028 to not be real, but he’s done an unusually good job of actually focusing attention on what he wants to talk about.

Free play for now — no one’s attacking him — but the Tel Aviv speech worked

GREAT quote

[Michael Kruse @michaelkruse]

“He won a district Trump won by 10 points. It’s like we have Michael Jordan in his prime, and we’re letting the season ticket holders play HORSE to decide who our starting guard is,” @liamkerr says of @golden4congress. https://t.co/IZZO24E3vd

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

again, big picture, donald trump won an election about affordability and then he

- passed tariffs (which raise consumer prices)
- expanded the deficit w a ginormous corporate tax cut (raises interest rates)
- waged a stupid war (raises gas prices)
- and now refuses to sign a bipartisan bill to reduce housing costs bc he's protesting senate republicans for failing to pass voting restrictions

... while making $2 billion from crypto rug pulls that transferred income from his supporters to his bank account

americans hate the president for very good reasons

This feels like the first step in Fetterman going independent in 2028, no?

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Sens. John Fetterman (D) and Dave McCormick (R) of Pennsylvania have set up a joint fundraising committee, according to a Federal Election Commission filing, a rare move for lawmakers from opposing political parties. https://t.co/gM9tYiJxbn

@MJohn1903 “Sir…”

Well that didn’t last long!

What a pledge!

At 86 I will not run again!

That’ll answer those questions about our gerontocracy!

Just posted my Friday Mailbag newsletter! 📭

Answered questions on Platner's awful video, what the hell is going on with McConnell, the Dems and DSA and, of course, the U.S. Mens National Team.

Link to full Mailbag in next tweet.

@HecoxMichelle Correct

[Chris Cillizza @ChrisCillizza]

Why aren't the U.S. men better at soccer?

It's not that our best athletes don't play the sport.

In fact, that thinking is a BIG part of the problem.

[Tammy Duckworth @TammyDuckworth]

Maine deserves better than someone who put his public image before the safety of our Veterans. Too many of our heroes lost their lives under Nirav Shah’s watch as Illinois Public Health Director.

I called for his resignation then, and I strongly oppose his run for Senate now.

[Chris Cillizza @ChrisCillizza]

Of course he will

NEW on MCCONNELL's health:

"He's alive. He's not brain dead. He's in rehab and the hospital. With his condition, he needs time to physically recover. But mentally he's fine. The doctors want to make sure he's okay."

Unlikely McConnell is back at the Capitol next week although possible, the source adds.

-Source familiar with the McConnell health situation tells me and @JoeKhalilTV
