This is so funny. Every few years, conservatives get complete control of a city/state and try their policies, only to end in complete and total disaster In Kansas, Republicans launched one of the biggest state tax cuts ever, their signature and only actual policy (besides terrorizing immigrants and restricting women's reproductive rights). As a result, tax revenues dropped by $700 million in the first year, Kansas growth lagged neighbors, and they made such deep cuts to education that even Republicans admitted they severely screwed up and repealed their policies. This should have put supply-side economics in the dustbin of history but Republicans can't read so they fail to learn from history. In Oklahoma, Republicans cut taxes, resulting in a hole so large -- nearly $900 million -- that 20% of school districts had to go to 4-day weeks to save money. Nothing like screwing children so wealthy Republicans get wealthier! Oklahoma ended with about 1,500 fewer teachers and were forced to assign a mileage cap to Highway Patrol because they couldn't afford gas. Great governance, guys. Republicans later admitted their policies were idiotic and repealed many of their policies, raising taxes. Florida's coming disaster will be extremely entertaining to watch. When Republicans actually try to effect policy (rare -- usually they just demonize minorities), it almost always ends in disaster This is why I will never be lectured to by a Republican about their views on taxes

Ok about time for an update on this, with subjective categories: All but certain: 🔵 Andy Beshear 🔵 Cory Booker 🔵 Pete Buttigieg 🔵 Rahm Emanuel 🔵 Ro Khanna 🔵 Gavin Newsom 🔵 JB Pritzker 🔵 Josh Shapiro Seems pretty likely: 🔵 Mark Kelly 🔵 Wes Moore Clearly considering: 🔵 Ruben Gallego 🔵 Kamala Harris 🔵 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez 🔵 Elissa Slotkin 🔵 Chris Van Hollen 🔵 Raphael Warnock Says they’re not considering running but no one really believes them: 🔵 Jon Ossoff Wouldn’t be surprised, and get well soon: 🔵 Chris Murphy Haven’t closed the door, but unlikely: 🔵 Gretchen Whitmer People will speculate that they will run but it’s very difficult to imagine they will turn around and run a national campaign after being Senator or Governor for only like 3-6 months, everyone settle down: 🔵 Abdul El-Sayed 🔵 Rob Sand 🔵 James Talarico Potential lefty choice if AOC doesn’t run: 🔵 Shawn Fain 🔵 Sara Nelson 🔵 Jimmy Williams Potential celebrity vanity run: 🔵 Don Lemon 🔵 Jasmine Crockett Resist Lib fantasy: 🔵 Jon Stewart

At some point the realization sets in that it wasn’t one thing - it was everything.

Sanders on Texas: I think there’s going to be a lot of buyer’s remorse. If you don't believe me, just look at what's happened in places like California where they have broken economies. I think in January you're going to have a lot of people who wish they had elected the freedom-loving/Christ-centered people that you had like Governor Abbott who were leading the state of Texas.

Mamdani getting elected and spending a year on extremely popular projects helped Dems everywhere imo. He was supposed to be on the new Mount Rushmore of scary liberals. Saw him on lots of attack mailers. Didn't scare people at all. When I sat down w Mamdani during the 2025 primary he said his model was Bernie in Burlington - the "ooh, scary socialist" mayor who capitalizes on all the attention he gets and makes civic improvements so it stops being scary. And so far that's clearly worked. semafor.com/article/06/12/20…

Let's be honest John UCONN has 4 home arenas. Gampel, Hartford, MSG, and Boston

This is an astonishing policy failure in managing chips crucial to national security and our economic future -- because the administration knew what was going on and did nothing.

Republicans lost ground with every group Trump won in 2024, except white evangelicals.
