Me: "Do you know how many times you've tweeted about Piker since you wrote that tweet [about not tweeting about him] on August 30th?"
@mattyglesias: "Probably more than I intended to."
Me: "8 times.... you tweeted about Mike Rogers 6 times. So you're tweeting about the streamer you didn't want to talk about more than the Republican candidate you say you want to defeat."
Yglesias: "Yeah, that's fair."
Me: "Why?"
Yglesias: "What do you want me to say? You got me."

Abdul El-Sayed is asked about his old tweets on 'defund the police" in the debate reaction room
You can't really capture something as complex as what we want to do for public safety in a three word statement.
And I got to work alongside law enforcement in Wayne County. One of the key things I got to do was rebuild juvenile detention facility.
Working alongside law enforcement., we funded their salaries, raised their wages 35%. Got to work alongside Wayne County sheriff's...

#MEPol: "I voted for Susan Collins in the past. For a long time, she seemed independent. She said she would protect Roe v. Wade, and then she was the deciding vote for Trump's Supreme Court justice who overturned Roe v. Wade."
WinSenate is up with a new #MESen ad.
#MEPol: "I voted for Susan Collins three times, but now, after 30 years in Washington, the corruption is just undeniable. Susan Collins at the center of an FBI probe into corruption. Donald Trump's administration shut down the investigation, and now Susan Collins votes with Trump every time it matters."
WinSenate is up with this new #MESen ad this morning, too.
I am a New Deal Democrat, not a Chuck Schumer Democrat.
I'm in Florida campaigning with @AngieNixon because we need a Democratic Party that is not beholden to the donor class. That means more Angie Nixons in this party and fewer Chuck Schumers to lead the way forward.
A reporter becomes a bit of a heckler in the reaction room with Abdul El-Sayed

Obama-Trump-Biden-Trump voting district
Hasan Piker discovered that a Black woman on CNN who portrayed herself as someone who was switching her vote to the Republican Party for the first time was already a Trump supporter in 2020. CNN is so disreputable at this point.
This is horrible journalism. It perpetuates the stereotype that Black voters are conservative-leaning voters when in actuality, Black voters, and especially Black women, are some of the most progressive voting demographics in the United States.
