Unrelenting maximalism with zero regard for optics and no room for compromise and an arrogant overestimation of one’s leverage and power is a great way for a political organization to be permanently irrelevant

I’m sorry but AOC would probably be smart to distance herself from national DSA when there’s a risk of them airing out dirty laundry and creating a scene just days before an election. Truly embarrassing, high school-type shit happening with Nithya Raman.

Somehow, in certain quarters, it has come to be seen as a personal failing to devote one’s life to improving the world around you. It isn’t ā€œdownwardly mobileā€ to choose, after college, to be a teacher, a city councilor or an artist. It’s just a different kind of ambition.

Important to broaden this criticism to ā€œthe Republican Party.ā€ J6 was pinned exclusively on ā€œTrumpā€ when it was a Republican attempted coup. GOP has to sustain brand damage and loss of trust.
Trump has never needed evidence to claim that an election is ā€œrigged.ā€ Trump, himself, has been threatening to interfere in the midterms by sending ICE to the polls to intimidate voters, block mail-in voting, and push voter suppression bills to prevent voters from voting.

ZACHARIA IS ON THE WAY OUT ALREADY šŸ‘‡ Q: Would you have liked to have known that Katie Zacharia didn't pass the bar? TRUMP: Katie has been treated very badly by the media. Very very badly. Very unfair. I just asked her, is this for you? And she's a nice person. I'm going to let her make that decision. Sean Hannity was a little bit tough. Katie is off to a start that, the news has been so nasty to her. I told her, 'Honestly, if I were you, I would reconsider.' Maybe it's not for her

KATIE ZACHARIA: I hit the ground running LAWRENCE JONES: It's been a tough week for you. Do you wish you would've disclosed to the president about not passing the bar? ZACHARIA: Those questions weren't asked

😮 Katie Zacharia crashes and burns on [checks notes] Hannity 😮 If you had the "over" on Zacharia lasting more than one Scaramucci, her epic flame out on Hannity just now won't help your cause HANNITY: You said you consulted with people who advised you it was okay to call yourself a lawyer but not an attorney, correct? ZACHARIA: Correct HANNITY: There's a report out tonight showing 15 social media posts where you identify yourself as an attorney ZACHARIA: I think they were retweets Here's the whole interview:

Eric Schmitt is done. Career over. No one will ever look at him the same again. Amy Klobuchar ended him.

This is one of the greater self-owns of all time in the admittedly somewhat undignified history of the U.S. Senate, just how Eric Schmitt thinks he's fucking Matlock.
A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. Watch the whole thing:

This is a killer ad. If Hamilton defeats Marshall for Senate in Kansas, include it in your analysis.
Meischa was Roger Marshall's patient. This is her story.

Ohioans work hard to pay the bills, but Jon Husted doesn’t care if they lose their jobs to robots. Yes, he actually said that.

Nelson's books are the best starting point for understanding the U.S. labor movement and labor history. He's got a new one coming out, "Why Labor Unions Matter." But I recommend all the other ones, too!!!
Always nice when a box of books with your name on them arrives in the mail. From bookstore organizing to mounting a general strike, this book tells the how and why. $28 from Yale.

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

Knicks tickets officially went on sale this afternoon. Loyal Knicks fans supported this franchise through two decades of darkness… losing season after losing season. Now, after a championship, MSG is charging more than $1,000 per ticket on Opening Night for the worst seats in the building (400 section in the upper-deck) Mind you, this is NOT resale. These are Standard Admission via Ticketmaster. Secondary-market sellers charging outrageous prices is one thing. There is practically nothing MSG can to limit re-sellers. But these aren’t resale tickets—MSG itself, directly, is charging fans $1,039.50 apiece for seats in the 400s. That’s $4,158 for a family of four. (Just for the tickets - not to mention the overpriced food and drinks.) A multibillion-dollar franchise pricing its own non-wealthy fans out of the Garden on a night the fanbase has been dreaming about for 50 years. Shameful.
