After popping up with praise for Newsom during the governor’s trip to South Carolina last week, Clyburn joins an event for fellow likely 2028 Dem who’s “one of my closest friends and confidants,” says “when I think of Ro Khanna, I think of what future of this country is about”
Six days ago Mike Johnson said "we should put everything out there" on Epstein documents Today Johnson stopped a floor vote on forcing Trump to do that: "we need the administration to have the space to do what it is doing ... we agree with the president" cnn.com/2025/07/21/pol…
the AP pool ban was over not using a new name that Trump wanted; the Wall Street Journal pool ban is over running a story that Trump doesn't like:
"The White House is removing the Wall Street Journal from the pool of reporters covering the president’s weekend trip to Scotland," after the WSJ story about Trump's birthday note for Epstein's 50th. @politico reports politico.com/news/2025/07/2…
As she considers her next step, Harris notes today’s anniversary:
One year ago today, I began my campaign for President of the United States. Over the 107 days of our race, I had the opportunity and honor to travel our nation and meet with Americans who were fighting for a better future. And today, millions of Americans continue to stand up…
the first Democratic politician who'll be on with Colbert since the news of his cancelation, by chance of scheduling, will be @JoshShapiroPA on Thursday night
One year ago today, at this time of day, Joe Biden was still running for president.
Mike Johnson five days ago: “It’s a very delicate subject, but we should put everything out there and let the people decide it.” Mike Johnson today:
Levin: We better be united… we can’t waste our time on Epstein and other stuff going on here that some people want us to focus on. Speaker Johnson: *nods*
Big travel weekend in the New York City mayor’s race: Cuomo jokes in the Hamptons that he’ll move back out of the city to Florida if Mamdani loses; Mamdani announces he’s in Africa until the end of the month for another celebration of his wedding.
It’s Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, campaigning in front of a big crowd in upstate New York:
Good afternoon! AOC & Paul Tonko are in Plattsburgh, NY (Stefanik’s district). This is the overflow for a sold out town hall that’s about to start. About 10% of the entire population of the town is out today to make their voices heard.
Mamdani offers his own NY Post wood headline suggestions for his summer trip back to Uganda:
Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends. But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month. See you soon, NYC.
Andrew Cuomo in the Hamptons: “We either win or even I will move to Florida. God forbid!” nypost.com/2025/07/19/us-…
Republican nominee who lost to Josh Shapiro by 15 points in 2022 is teasing a rematch:
🇺🇸 What is your favorite logo?
Jeffries aide goes with a very Jeffries three point alliteration on his meeting with Mamdani for an hour in Brooklyn today: It was “constructive, candid and community-centered, with a particular focus on affordability.” They’ll meet again, with other NY Dems. No endorsement yet
Gabbard to me in 2019 on the Russia actions around the 2016 election: theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
EXCLUSIVE: The Obama administration “manufactured and politicized intelligence” to create the narrative that Russia was attempting to influence the 2016 election, despite information from the intelligence community stating otherwise @DNIGabbard foxnews.com/politics/obama…
Two headlines from today from the Richmond Times-Dispatch about the GOP gubernatorial campaign:
Upstate NY congressman who’s very much not a DSA type hits hard at Cuomo’s attempted resurgence:
Rep. Pat Ryan of the Hudson Valley had a different take. "Andrew Cuomo should go away and be nowhere near a position of any public trust ever again," he said.
Trump argues that if the negative Epstein information were true it would have been released by his political opponents while they were in power, after he and allies spent years saying that his political opponents were covering up the true negative Epstein information:
Trump writes on Truth Social that when he personally told Rupert Murdoch that the WSJ story was not true, "Mr. Murdoch stated that he would take care of it but, obviously, did not have the power to do so." Trump says he's going to sue WSJ -- and Rupert Murdoch.
as Trump insists he is standing up for the truth, he says he won three elections:
Trump announces on Truth Social that he will be suing: The Wall Street Journal, NewsCorp, and Rupert Murdoch,
Just realized “bawdy” has become one of those words used only by journalists and no one else in real life
