"I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. - Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory." -- John Adams, July 3 , 1776.
The most I got actually supporting a candidate was 4 from Sam Wang’s campaign and 4 from PACs for Adam Hamawy - 3 from Justice Democrats and 1 from American Priorities.
In NJ12 primary, I got 10 (!!!) mailers from the dark money Florence Avenue Initiative - more than 2x I got for any single candidate (and I can’t rule out getting more on Mon). I can only conclude that someone there has a disturbing Sue Altman fetish.
Among the four Dems vying to take on Rep. Kean in NJ7, Bennett has built a clear lead among likely primary voters... when “leaners” are taken into account, Bennett’s vote share grows to 36%, compared to 20% for Varela, 19% for Shah and 19% for Roth.https://t.co/kMjk09ivMq
By law, a new pro-Brad Cohen PAC called Voice of the Electorate can’t coordinate with Cohen himself when making its ads.
The PAC’s solution: use AI to generate a deepfake Brad Cohen and let *him* do the talking.

Interesting #SOTU dial group. Trump gained a few points on most issues (expected temp. bump) but he went up a lot for his "Great Healthcare Plan" to divert money from insurers to people. Of course, this won't happen, but Democrats should be alert to power of this rhetoric.
Saw Jesse Jackson in Feb. 1984 at my Pennsylvania college. He packed the gym and got a good reception at our conservative campus. [Although he got my Jersey hackles up when he told us NJ students to register in PA because our home state didn't matter - at least in the primaries.]
Pouring one out for The Reverend Jesse Jackson. A giant and a champion for civil rights and equality.
But can anyone read Green Eggs and Ham better? No.
I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is
@ShadowFrog7@RepBonnie The format is that only half the group gets each question. So only 8 got the one on making an Israel aid contingent. Half volunteered that they would call it genocide. Responses varied by degree. Too much for me to summarize each one.
I remain surprised by how many folks did not see this coming. The data on the mood of Dem voters is there -- if you interpret it correctly.
