I golf--because I couldn't hit a curveball--but baseball is still my 1st love. I'm told I'm an "amazing" Husband and a "meh" step-dad (kids are hard to please)

@sampson_dog I hope there's time for Pax to run along the Oregon coast!

Ben Wikler should be the next head of the DNC. That's a fighting choice. Someone who has demonstrated the kind of persistent and effective party building and infrastructure building that generates results. Dems didn't win Wisconsin this year. But it was the closest ...

I want to say Biff Pocoroba, but I'm going with Dann Bilardello.

If this is really going to be an issue it really suggests terrible planning. no ones finger signature looks anything like they're written one.

@ditzkoff Deep cut. 👏👏👏

@ErikLoomis I believe it was @joshtpm

@CharlesPPierce To God's ears and all that.

It’s pretty wild that this central part of Trumps campaign, putting an insanely ruinous 10% tariff on everything is only now getting some attn. or to think that the central policy of the guy running on defeating inflation is actually a policy to dramatically increase inflation. This is among everything else a pretty conspicuous press failure.

[Josh Marshall @joshtpm]

Good to point out this essential feature of Trumpism, a melange of "fuck your feelings" and "lighten up" mixed with performative outrage & feigned agony over insults that in most cases never happened.

PFP Baby…seems like a small thing until you fail to cover 1B in the World Series!

@SowaTheArrogant I was talking to my 18 yo stepdaughter the other day about how stressful politics are. As you say, it's all they know. She couldn't believe there was a time when the POTUS election didn't feel like the potential end of society.

Politico Playbook led with 21 paragraphs about Biden’s intentionally misinterpreted statement and 1 paragraph on Mike Johnson committing to overhaul Obamacare which would impact millions of Americans.

Well done, guys. Well done.

@7im Every year I take the ballot out of my mailbox, read what I need from the (non-partisan) voter guide pamphlet, vote and go right back to the mailbox. I remain indignant that in Ohio and Kentucky voting was often made difficult.

[John Fugelsang @JohnFugelsang]

The Trump campaign strongly condemns
the offensive Puerto Rico jokes,
all of which were vetted
and loaded into a teleprompter
by the Trump campaign

[Josh Marshall @joshtpm]

In other words, more violent pro-Trump terrorists at work.

Journalists have spent decades trying to prove how not-liberal they are by grading conservatives on a curve, and outright sanewashing Donald Trump. Now that the media is broken and liberals are done putting up with it, those same journalists can’t handle it

[Christopher Moore @TheAuthorGuy]

I'm having a dilemma of thought. If I didn't see what a douche bag Mel Gibson was in all those movies I enjoyed before he came out as a douche bag, he may be a great actor. I don't know how to file that.

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

So anyway…

Still have questions about why the DNC gave influencers the same access as mainstream journalists?

If Billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk don't want Kamala Harris to win, maybe she's actually good for people who aren't billionaires.
