You'll rarely find an insider account as vivid and revealing as this from @brett_mcgurk

The DNC's presidential nominating calendar battle tests our nominee and reflects the diversity of our party and country.
This calendar puts Democrats in the best possible position to take back the White House in 2028. Spoke a little bit about it today >>

I’m excited to share BRINK: Inside the Race to Free the October 7 Hostages.
October 7 changed the Middle East forever. This is what happened inside the room—from the Oval Office to capitals across the region.
On sale October 6. Preorder now.
The momentum is real.
Protects our national security. Creates jobs. Grows the economy. Revitalizing American shipbuilding does it all.
If you're wondering whether it's possible to pass bipartisan legislation, this is it.
Let's get it done.

NEW AD: Running nationally, and in states along the Gulf Coast, we're calling on Congress to take action to restore the critical American shipbuilding industry, create American jobs, and protect our shores.
New US coalition lobby group aims to get domestic shipbuilding bill through Congress reuters.com/world/us/new-us-…

Building more ships will bolster our national security and provide new opportunities for American workers.
As this new coalition demonstrates, there is broad recognition that we need to revive American shipbuilding.

.@MayorLucasKC: Despite Trump’s lies, cites are providing the most competent form of government, and an example of American government done right.
This undermines US shipbuilding with little to no benefit to consumers.
Iran has shown our weaknesses. Ships attacked, supply lines decimated, our navy stretched thin & with allies refusing to help, it's hard to imagine offshoring capacity.
We need action to secure our future.

Texas Gov race is statistically tied in a new poll by GBAO.
- Abbott’s support cratering, polling worse than Trump.
- Independent voters break heavily for Gina, showing a 16 point lead.
- Gina leads Abbott with young voters by 29 points.
- Gina has already captured 57% of the Latino vote before spending a dime on paid media.
- @BetoORourke and @wendydavis gov races were never this close.
Something is happening in TX and it’s not just in Tarrant County. @GinaHinojosaTX
Why? Because Mayors know what works.
Trump may want to take credit, but this happened in spite of him, not because of him.
"The stats were yet another sign that violent crime in the U.S. was starkly different from what President Trump cited as his reason for sending federal troops..."
The report "shows declines across every major violent-crime category..."

Does anyone really think we need to keep rehashing 2024? This is objectively the right decision.
Democrats just won a bunch of elections. At this point, there is more to be gained from looking forward than continuing to beat a dead horse.
NEWS: The DNC is killing off its 2024 autopsy.
DNC Chairman Ken Martin has decided not to publish a public report, believing that a backward-looking document would be counterproductive as the party has started winning.

“Trump may have declared war on our cities, but we are ready for this fight,” @JustinMBibb writes in a letter to Democratic mayors. “This is our moment to stand up & say enough is enough & to demonstrate to the nation what Democratic Mayors are all about." cnn.com/politics/live-news/g…
