To compete for his party’s nomination, @AndyBeshearKY must, as all Democratic candidates must, run the gantlet of “the groups,” @GeorgeWill writes. wapo.st/4kLxuP0
When it comes to the future of the Democratic Party, I never need to hear from anyone with the last name Biden ever again.
Hunter’s dad’s vanity and arrogance got Trump re-elected. Go away.
"We all talk about the incredible popularity of Barack Obama. Barack Obama never got more than 69 million votes. My dad got 81 million votes."
Smashed preorder on this baby
SOME PERSONAL NEWS: My biography of Harry Reid is available for pre-order and on sale Jan. 20! Exciting news for a project I started more than four years ago on the most powerful official in NV history and one of the more influential DC leaders ever. simonandschuster.com/books/The-Game…

I will repeat that many lawmakers treating social media as their primary sphere of feedback has done an immense amount of harm to the country, because the average top reply here is from someone 3 standard deviations more insane than the rest of society.
Somewhere along the way, we turned “never make anyone mad” into the primary ethos of the Democratic Party. It’s how candidates are chosen, how staff are promoted, how consultants are hired, how campaign messages are chosen. Effectiveness is not as important as inoffensiveness.
Looks like the Democrats' "autopsy" will skirt the real question of 2024 (nytimes.com/2025/07/19/u...), which is whether the party should choose its strongest nominee or cheerlead for the president. @sam_rosenfeld and I poked at that issue last summer.
It’s better to run as an independent than as a Dem in Nebraska and you have thank you Biden in your name 😭😭😭
After 2016, Dems refused to do an audit. And now the 2024 “autopsy” won’t even ask the hard questions. WEAK WEAK WEAK nytimes.com/2025/07/19/us/… via @NYTimes
Happy to chat with you or your team if it would be helpful, but can't separate questions of party purpose, including whether the party should choose its strongest nominee or cheerlead for the president, and party organization. See nybooks.com/online/2024/07…
What a joke. This isn’t an autopsy, it’s a fig leaf on the status quo. The overriding goal here is not to seek answers, it’s to avoid making anyone mad - a clear sign of a fundamentally cooked organization.




Excited to be heading into the office this am! Top of the to-do list: calling a vote on restoring the Click to Cancel Rule. It’s time the FTC gets back to protecting consumers from real abuses like subscription traps that cost Americans countless hours and millions of dollars.
One of the clearest, must substantive conversations you'll hear on how existing tech on how AI is actually already improving productivity in the legal field.
NEW ODD LOTS HOW AI IS ALREADY CHANGING THE LEGAL INDUSTRY So people talk a lot about "using AI" these days, but what does that actually mean in the context of a particular profession? @TheStalwart & I speak with civil rights attorney Joel Wertheimer podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wha…
This is the MLK playbook. Impeccable dress, manners and erudition are the only credible option for path breakers. Sarah McBride does the same thing, and it is effective.
Zohran Mamdani wears a suit, doesn't curse, is positive, and talks policy nonstop.
🚨 Of the top 16 fundraisers in the House, 100% of GOP money is going to competitive races But 91% of Democratic money is going to safe seats Dem Donors: funding viral videos & list buys GOP Donors: funding battleground seats
Trump will get right on releasing the Epstein files, as soon they’re scrubbed of all the people who flew to Epstein Island and then took a boat to the Bahamas after??? You can’t make this shit up.
Secretary of Transportation @SecDuffy refused to commit to even discussing the release of the Epstein files with Trump. Listen to him explain his reasoning:
Yeah what changed?
🚨BREAKING: A video is going viral showing JD Vance calling for the full Epstein list to be released - on Theo Von’s podcast. Hey JD, what changed? Let’s blast this everywhere before he tries to erase it.
