Did Trump ask the wrong Dana White to be his Press Secretary?
This has big ‘Four Seasons Total Landscaping’ energy and I am cackling

Democrats have created a supermajority in the Arizona Senate. An incredible wipeout for the Arizona GOP

Big: Kris Kobach, the Kansas attorney general, one of the country’s most notorious far-right figures who charted the way for Trump’s election denialism well before Trump got to it, has lost his reelection bid.
Democrat Chris Mann will be new Kansas attorney general, AP

This is a formal request for Susie Wiles and James Blair to stop harassing me with texts and calls.
If there is a factual inaccuracy in what I said, send it to me in writing and I will vigorously correct and apologize for any misstatements. I will note that everything I said is substantiated by other senior officials.
If you want to file a lawsuit and get into discovery of whether it’s provably true that Ballard and Continental had an undue influence on the White House policy process, do it.
I believe we are in an existential moment for the country, and Americans were owed an honest accounting of the past two years so we identify the problems we need to move on from.

I’m ‘mad’ because your shtick is maddening. Even people who agree with your politics are fed up with your incessant posting since Tuesday and endless snarky attacks on progressives, and nonsense about moderation and elections.
And it’s not irrelevant to point out that candidates who shared your politics lost two out of 3 times to Trump. Have some humility when it comes to lecturing others on electability and posting endless context free graphs about ‘performance.’

Sayed won by 7% and is immediately going to be one of the best Senators we have.
If the argument is that we could have elected one of the worst Democratic senators and maybe one by 1% more, I don’t care.
Moderate-affiliated candidates overperformed in swing areas; left-affiliated candidates overperformed in the most Democratic areas & underperformed in others

Hard to overstate how gratifying it is to see @JamesTalarico talk about the Powell Memo right after the @LeverNews podcast/book MASTER PLAN on that memo went viral. You truly love to see it.
James Talarico traces 50 years of trickle-down back to one 1971 document, the Powell memo, a corporate blueprint to buy power
“In fact, you can, you can pinpoint this one document called the Powell memo, 1971.”
“But if you read this memo, it's basically a blueprint for how corporate interests can start to dismantle the Great Society and the New Deal”
“They're going to spend massive amounts of money in our politics, buying politicians in both parties, elevate corporate voices in media, appoint sympathetic judges.”
“And that has really been the story of the last 50 years in this country, last five decades.”

Can you even imagine how unserious you have to be as a human being to make Stephen Miller your Chief of Staff and publicly announce you are considering hiring Dana White the CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship to be the White House Press Secretary?
I really wish someone would tell these people that the movie ‘Idiocracy’ is a satirical comedy - not a governmental How-To instructional video..

He’s gonna lose the primary.
He wins.
He’s gonna lose the general.
He wins.
He’s gonna win only narrowly.
He wins by 7.
All the while, record levels of money spent against him; the president and media target him daily with racist abuse; and his former Dem rival endorses his GOP opponent.
But apparently, he is an ‘under performer.’ 🤷🏽♂️

This is Neera Tanden in April saying it'd be irresponsible not to support the #1 recipient of corporate cash in CA, Jasmeen Bains, because Randy Villegas couldn't win.
Randy beat the Republican incumbent by a two-to-one margin. He literally got twice as many votes as Valadao.

Kansas Democrats gained a whopping 19 seats in the State House so far; they'll probably end up with a 20-seat net gain overall.
1. This is the most seats KS Democrats have won in the KS House since 1990.
2. This is the largest single-year net gain Democrats have made in the KS House since the 1930 midterms.

I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.

Because Bernie-style populism is now correctly understood as moderate centrism, and the corporatists who’ve been deceptively labeling themselves “moderate” for decades are actually just corporatists whose politics are being rejected by the electorate
