Primary's over, but I've still got pressing questions. Send me tips on Signal: jasonbeeferman.48

$700,000 for handrails???

[Jon Campbell @JonCampbellNY]

I reached out to the NYS Office of General Services about the railings.

They’re going up on the Senate and Assembly staircases, but NOT the Million Dollar Staircase. OGS cites safety reasons for installing them.

Total cost: $700,000

.@Scott_Wiener faces scrutiny of PAC coordination after a report in @washingtonsun detailed how he shared multiple staff and consultants with a PAC.

I found another instance of PAC overlap with Wiener -- this time a firm working for both him and the PAC funded by Public First, which is backed by @AnthropicAI

[Jason Beeferman @JasonBeeferman]

.@PatRyanUC also traveled to Israel with an @AIPAC affiliate in 2023 where he talked about the "incredible IDF." Today he returned ~$250k in AIPAC donations.

I profiled Pat Ryan and his careful bid to set himself up for a bigger job in the Democratic party: https://t.co/iN2A6Ogee4

Less than one year ago, Rep. Pat Ryan recorded a "Happy Birthday" Israel video message for @AIPAC where he said it’s “so important that we celebrate and value and double down on our alliance with Israel.”

[Pat Ryan 🇺🇸 @PatRyanUC]

After voting against funding Netanyahu’s war crimes, I pledged to return all donations from AIPAC (and any organization invested in supporting his government) and to refund any donors who requested it. I have honored that pledge and returned $247,574.85.

I will work with anyone who is dedicated to ensuring the safety of the Jewish and Palestinian people in the region and to fulfilling both Israel's right to exist as a democratic Jewish state and true self-determination for the Palestinian people.

"I actually prefer Chicago than New York," says Jamie Dimon of @jpmorgan, bringing down the house an @EconClubChi event at the Sheraton just off Michigan Ave.

In #IowaGov debate, GOP @ZachLahn is asked what his favorite pie is:

"It's probably one I can't say because of MAHA purposes, but it is oreo cream pie. I just love it."

[Vanessa Kjeldsen @VanessaKjeldsen]

Should Wisconsin women be allowed to seek abortions after 20 weeks?

David Crowley: "You should probably ask a doctor that. I don't know anything. When you think about our healthcare providers, we trust them to have those conversations with that patient..."

[Jason Beeferman @JasonBeeferman]

28,000 robocalls are now going out in @MaElviraSalazar's district attacking her for repeatedly voting for Trump’s immigration plan. The calls reference her recent ad telling Trump he's "gone too far" on immigration

@MaiForUs @DorisMatsui

[Jason Beeferman @JasonBeeferman]

New ad from @MaiForUs in the Democrat-on-Democrat general election battle in CA-07 against @DorisMatsui. It's Vang's first TV ad of the general.

[Erin Doherty @erinpdoherty]

New: Dems may be discovering the political power of calling something rigged.

They’re leaning hard into anti-corruption messaging as new research suggests linking corruption to economic struggles can boost Democrats.

Scoop: As Dems shift their focus away from NC’s Senate race, David Plouffe, who managed Obama’s narrow 2008 victory in the state, is urging donors not to grow complacent.

“We have to win the ones we have to win,” he said in audio obtained by POLITICO.

This YouTube link previously showed a video of Gov. Joe Lombardo speaking at the groundbreaking of a Fleet Data Centers project in May, but it now shows up as private.

NY-21 has five media markets and one of them crosses over into Vermont. Massive and surprisingly complex (largely) rural district. https://t.co/OPsADugV8E

NEW — Dems’ latest cash conundrum: red reach states.

Some money is flowing to Senate races in KS, MS, SC, FL from outside groups.

Big push for MS: it’s cheap.

But major groups say there’s still not enough cash to make significant investments beyond core battleground.

Here's a new ad from @ITCoalition_PAC attacking @laurenboebert for being ejected from “Beetlejuice” the musical

[Jason Beeferman @JasonBeeferman]

🚨NEW🚨 Poll + Ad + Spend against @laurenboebert in CO-4.

➡️ The lawmaker's "Beetlejuice" incident is now the subject of an attack ad from clean energy super PAC Invest in Tomorrow Coalition: "If Lauren Boebert can't be trusted in a room full of kids, then she can't be trusted in the halls of Congress," the ad says.

➡️ A new poll from the PAC shows Boebert only up by 5pts against Democrat @EileenforCO, and Boebert is deeply underwater (39%/55%, fav/unfav)

➡️ The PAC is dropping $1.5 million against her in the district.
