A very flustered Kornacki just spilled his water all over his computer and paper maps. It’s the most thrilling thing I’ve seen all year

The race to succeed Haley Stevens flew very under the radar but the more progressive candidate, Farooqi, struggled to fundraise and had a negative cash balance in mid-July as the race entered its final weeks.

I turned on the television news and they’re talking a lot about “Bernie Sanders”

Final NYT numbers on Haley Stevens v. Abdul El-Sayed:

— Six outside groups spent $62 million for Stevens, giving her a nine-to-one spending advantage over Abdul

— Half of that Stevens spend, $32 million, came from AIPAC's super PAC

— AIPAC's super PAC spent more than any single group has in a federal Democratic primary this cycle

Whoever did this, please get in touch! I'm fascinated both as a cyclist and a reporter.

NEW: Trump is considering removing Jeanine Pirro, the US attorney for the District of Columbia, over a Justice Department conclusion that problems with the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool stemmed from a flawed renovation rather than vandalism, two people familiar with his thinking told CNN.

The president is “furious” with Pirro, one of the sources said, telling CNN that he fumed about her all weekend. They added that based on his criticisms of her, they find it “highly likely she’s removed from her job.”

There is more pathos, character development and interiority in any 15 minutes of The Sopranos than there is in the entire 3 hours or whatever of the Christopher Nolan film The Odyssey

“The only reasonable thing seems to be: Burn it down and start over, and make it different.”

On normie/resistance Dems, once in lockstep w/party establishment but now open to a different type of candidate. They’ve pushed El-Sayed to top of most polls

SCOOP: A draft report inside the Treasury Department warns about AI bubble risks, with several factors elevating the potential for a downturn that would have widespread impacts on the U.S. economy.

The Trump admin says it sees only positives for AI in downplaying the report 👇

After another, quieter, week of layoffs impacting local staff, the Washington Post has now laid off all of its reporters who have covered Gaza full time since 2023.

This is a choice about what coverage and whose voices matter.

@BradenTheBlerd Do you think the government should tell pregnant women when the air quality is going to be dangerous to them

[Jeff Stein @jstein_notus]

@BradenTheBlerd It was a dumb article

[Jeff Stein @jstein_notus]

Really critical reporting from @jakespring
