The latest episode of What It Takes is live!

@sarahmccammon sits down with @RahmEmanuel to discuss why he thinks America has "lost its nerve" and how he thinks we can restore it.

Part one of their in-depth conversation: https://t.co/WufV8DpM29

[Matt Bennett @ThirdWayMattB]

Today in "what could possibly go wrong".

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

The New World Screwworm, a grave parasitic threat, has just been detected in US cattle for the first time since it was eradicated in 1966.

The parasite's revival comes after Trump and DOGE slashed funding for Screwworm monitoring programs.

[Third Way @ThirdWayTweet]

NEW: Nearly half of Democrats want the party to move closer to the center, and the ballot box is proof. Moderate Dems are prevailing in midterm primaries nationwide; combative centrism is the key to winning.

Our @sarahmccammon is doing fantastic podcast interviews with potential 2028ers. Her podcast with @RahmEmanuel out today is fab and worth checking out. https://t.co/LFKNR1wkqS

Crowd size is the worst metric in American politics. Just ask Presidents Dean and Sanders.

Saikat is not going to win.

[Matt Bennett @ThirdWayMattB]

Did this work? Because it doesn’t seem like it worked.

[Matt Bennett @ThirdWayMattB]

Sometimes, the ads write themselves.

[hawkize @stillnothawkize]

the race for Iowa governor is a lifelong Iowan who made a skateboard video and put both republicans and democrats who stole in jail versus a Kansas man who is literally invested in a high tech cock ring which is endorsed by pornhub

[tré easton @treeaston]

That’s because @ZachWahls is good people and keeps the main thing the main thing.

[Matt Bennett @ThirdWayMattB]

LOL. He ran against two no-name Republicans in a D+21 district.

[Our Revolution @OurRevolution]

They said standing up to billionaires would end his political career.

Instead, @RoKhanna just won a landslide.

After Big Tech interests poured money into this race, Silicon Valley voters made their voices heard loud and clear: democracy is stronger than billionaire spending.

That’s a win for working people everywhere.

[Jim Kessler @ThirdWayKessler]

Congratulations to @ThirdWayTweet friend @RebeccaForNJ07. An overwhelming primary win in NJ7 is a good omen to flip the seat and bring Dems one step closer to the majority.

[Matt Bennett @ThirdWayMattB]

Their courage brings a tear to the eye. Selfless public servants speaking truth to power.

[CSPAN @cspan]

.@LeaderJohnThune & @SenTomCotton on Bill Pulte as Acting DNI:

Sen. Thune: "If the administration decides to pursue a permanent appointment to that position, it'll have to come to the Congress."

Sen. Cotton: "I have no observations on the matter."

[Matt Bennett @ThirdWayMattB]

People of NY-13: you have a great Congressman in @RepEspaillat. Choose him and not the hyper-radical he's running against.

[Matt Bennett @ThirdWayMattB]

I’m sorry but this person should not be within 10 miles of elected office, and the fact that Mamdani and others still support her is astonishing.

@AndrewFeinberg That Mike doesn't give a rat's ass about the Red Sox.

[Matt Bennett @ThirdWayMattB]

Every time the far left attacks the center left they claim we're only in it for the money. They completely ignore the possibility that we genuinely think many of their ideas and their candidates suck.

[Emma Vigeland @EmmaVigeland]

Yemisi Egbewole founded Podium Strategies, a consulting firm. Democratic consultants make their cash off commission on large-scale TV and digital ad buys.

The success of campaigns like Platner's, reliant on canvassing and in-person voter outreach, is a threat to her pocketbook.

[Matt Bennett @ThirdWayMattB]

Gabbard: I am the worst possible person to be DNI

Pulte: Hold my beer

[Ned Price @nedprice]

The biggest news isn't that Trump is appointing someone without a national security background to a position that, by law, requires "extensive" experience. It's that Pulte earned Trump's trust by using **mortgage** records to pursue perceived political enemies. Now this top henchman will have access to some of our most sensitive intelligence and exquisite capabilities. That's why this is so noteworthy -- and concerning.

[Governor Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul]

Bezalel Smotrich is a far-right extremist whose hateful and divisive rhetoric is fundamentally at odds with the values we hold dear in New York.

Yesterday’s parade was a celebration of Jewish pride, community, and unity. I strongly condemn his participation.

[Matt Bennett @ThirdWayMattB]

Things going great over at Bari's newly minted 60 Minutes. The very definition of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Sadly, my tax dollars will, for now, not be going to a mob of violent, cop-beating, insurrectionist thugs. But, you know, fingers crossed!

You see the problem is that he didn't take FOUR tests for dementia in the course of 18 months and then brag about "acing" them.
