I'm not sure I've seen this level of GOP panic in my lifetime. The leaks have become a flood. Republicans are privately admitting this looks like 2006. They're saying the map is disintegrating. One even predicts a "wipelout." On the pod, we bring you all of it: newrepublic.com/article/2159...

Trump Erupts in Wild Panic as GOP Midterm Leaks Grow Urgent: “Wipeout”

As GOP alarm about the midterms worsens, a progressive data researcher explains the deeper reasons voters are so angry and dissatisfied right now—especially in red states with big Senate races.

Jamie Raskin calls out the shitty ads as a crime (this was cited by CNN and other stories). This is the kind of Xitter post that I beg of @raskin.house.gov or other MoCs to cross-post over here -- not least bc more people over here are likely to magnify it.

Rep. Jamie Raskin

@RepRaskin
This may be felony criminal theft and conversion of government property for political campaign purposes. 18 U.S.C. § 1641. It is a Hatch Act violation for any government employees who worked on it or used government resources to make it. It is blatantly unethical under numerous federal ethics provisions proscribing the use of government resources for political campaigns.

All the coverage of Talarico's supposed "problems" with Black Tx Dems are anecdotes and vibes. Polling now shows him 20 points (20!) ahead of Beto *and Allred* with Black voters, so the metric is "enthusiasm," ignoring Black Dems' reliability at the polls. www.tpr.org/government-p...

Also reminder the best help for food pantries, or people struggling or any 'need' is cold hard cash. Always. Always always always. Food pantries can make that money stretch MUCH BETTER THAN YOU CAN, and it'll go to their most urgent needs. I mean, the other stuff is great too but cash is king

The Pope reminds me of a version of Catholicism I knew growing up as a young man attending anti-war and anti-death penalty protests, where I met elderly Catholics who shared their version of faith with me. I learned that Catholicism was about love and mercy for the weak, the condemned, and the poor.

Cornell has failed to protect its students. Cornell has failed to address the growing issue of sexual assault on campus with its pathetic task force. Cornell has failed the student allegedly raped by those seven men at Chi Phi in October 2024. Cornell has failed her. Cornell has failed us.

Correct, 100%. I’ll add: what’s useful from a left perspective is that there’s no credible Third Way, triangulated narrative that ends with: “… and that why we need means-tested, deficit-neutral tax credits to fund up to one semester of job training for workers displaced by AI.”

I won’t boo him, he’s right. “A moral and ethical story”: he’s describing the need for a narrative. A useful past that defines the country as a multicultural, egalitarian project — not a white Christian-nationalist dystopia. MAGA has a repellent story— but it’s a story. An alternative is needed.
