I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

It's because disenfranchisement of prisoners is a remnant of Jim Crow, both as a means of preventing black people from voting but also corralling us into districts where our population gives them congressional representation without our input.

As much as I think the 2028 primary will be a referendum on issues like Israel/Palestine, universal welfare policies, etc. the fact of the matter is if some centrist comes along promising to throw Trump and everyone within 3 degrees of separation from him in prison they're handidly winning it.

The strategy next time should be to indict everyone for everything, everywhere. The ex-president, if alive, should get a hundred indictments, spread across as many districts as possible, with as many state charges separately brought as possible. Cabinet members and aides should get dozens.

Democratic party chances of taking the Senate just shot to 110%.
At a show tonight in DC, Dave Chappelle said that in the “midterms from hell,” after he has been forced to learn what the Strait of Hormuz is, he’s ready to get in the foxhole with his old antagonists. He said he’d turn to the person next to him and say, “Soldier, what are your pronouns? I need some ammunition.”

Also, it should be pretty concerning to left-wing candidates how quickly their own media and online ecosystem turns on them.

One bad poll comes out & suddenly the candidate they championed is being “hamstrung by consultants.”

The receipts on the Collins scandal are insane.
“You’ve seen me deliver.” 

That’s what Collins told Kao, he said, as her staff pressured him to up his donations. Kao wound up giving the Collins super PAC $150,000 in late 2019. Weeks later, according to an email, Collins’ office agreed to support $32m in new Navatek projects
