This was foreseeable, as accepting this offer would've eaten into his ability to focus on the things he's truly passionate about in life, like hitting his wife.

Are there flashier or younger people who could stand for Senate leader? Certainly. But there's a reason Harry Reid—not the most inspiring or charismatic guy—is still heralded. His job wasn't a vision. The job was to wield power effectively and protect the caucus.
I have my notes about Leader Schumer, but under the circumstances I think he deserves more credit than a lot of folx #OnHere are willing to give.

No matter how much the party annoys me, this is why I'm a Democrat. Former Iowa Senator Tom Harkin, who turns 87 years old in a few weeks, said it better than I ever can. theiowamercury.substack.com/…
When I was an 11 year old boy living in Council Bluffs, Iowa, our very own Senator Tom Harkin changed my life and gave me, and so many other disabled Americans, an on-ramp to society.
Throughout our campaign, I’ve said it will be beautifully poetic when the man who takes back Senator Harkin’s seat is only here because of his work. Iowa, together, we made history, and we wrote beautiful poetry.
Thank you, Iowa!

Might be too early to tell, but I think something else might've ended on Tuesday too: The Era of Rancid Feelings.
Marked principally by leaders and political types choosing to be rigidly dogmatic, assholes, or racing to their most base instinct, feels like most people said enough!
The limit, in fact, DOES exist.
Across the country, you had a sea of happy warriors ushered into office by an electorate crying out that it just simply should not be this hard.
This isn't a kumbaya thing. It's a cut the shit and focus thing. And it's incredibly pleasing to me.

Don't forget that the incident kicking off voter anger at TX Rs and inspiring united opposition to broken TX leadership was their cramming a hyper-partisan & discriminatory mid decade redistricting map down Texans' throats. It blew up in their faces.

important to understand that the only remaining republicans are extremists in safe seats, and we should expect a even more radicalized party going forward. But we should also expect a continuation of the party-wide commitment to protecting pedophiles.
🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS -- REP. JIM JORDAN will announce this morning that he's running for House minority leader.
The Ohio Republican is the first person in the minority leader race.
JORDAN will make the case that the leadership needs new blood, investigations are his specialty.
MIKE JOHNSON and STEVE SCALISE have not said what they will do yet.
(@PunchbowlNews text subscribers had it first)

Haley Stevens has chosen to dangerously betray Michigan families’ healthcare, freedoms and future with her horrific endorsement of Mike Rogers.
@AbdulElSayed must win — because Michigan and our country deserve better. -NP

obviously the league messed this up but i do wonder if you’ll ever do a post about the WNBA that isn’t just dripping condescension about how bad league leadership is. do you realize they actually play basketball?

Buddy I thought uncommitted was wrong too and took my licks for that. But I really truly believe that beating fascism means electing Democrats—even those with whom we have points of strong disagreement.
Building a big tent isn’t easy or pretty, but it is absolutely necessary.

I cannot think of a better definition of greed than the NBA having to excommunicate three different players due to point shaving in just the last few years and the league going all-in with prediction markets anyway. It's shameful man.

This is the kind of response I get from my 10 year old when I ask why he hasn’t put on his shoes yet when it’s time to go to school
Yaxel Lendeborg on what he and Luka Doncic were going back and forth about:
“I was telling him he sucks. He can’t score on me. You talking, you can’t score on me. I said it the whole game. I said a couple cuss words obviously, you know, that’s why I got the technical and all that. But I was letting him know because he was laughing and talking all this because of that one foul call, and his only bucket was a banker from half court. Like, I know that it’s a team sport. He had 28 on us as a team. Me, I took my matchup personally. Tried not to get caught on the fouls. Tried my best. I was thinking about playing him with my hands behind my back to see if that worked. Probably would have still got a foul call. But, you know, interesting.”
