From a staffing perspective, this is unforgivable. It’s such a violation, it completely undermines the boss and completely misreads the reality of being a woman in the public eye. There are plenty of valid critiques to discuss but this ain’t it
Very cool. This is the actual 19th Amendment, which passed the Senate 105 years ago today.
It gave women the right to vote & was brought about by the incredible grassroots efforts of women’s suffrage movement.
An historic civil rights victory for every American.
✅ Canceling his plans this weekend

Today was Bob Menendez' last chance to cast a final vote in the United States Senate. He was absent. Menendez will leave the Senate on August 20 after missing his last 62 votes, including 17 since his conviction.
Oh, you don’t like the idea of someone telling you what kind of stove you’re allowed to buy? Imagine how it would feel if someone was forcing you to have a baby you don’t want.
The staff on the campaign and in the WH have been through a harrowing month. Their commitment has kept this train on the tracks and has ensured that the eventual nominee walks into an operation that is not only functioning but thriving. We owe them a huge debt of gratitude.

It makes me furious that the entire concept is “pay even more and give your biometric data to a private company to receive a government service you already pay for”
Walz: "I'm surrounded by states who are spending their time figuring out how to ban Charlotte's Web in their schools while we're banishing hunger from ours with free breakfast and lunch."
The biggest problem with this, of which their are many, is that she was one of a few people in a position of power to push back on this stuff. She actively made a decision to try and overturn a free and fair election. She WAS the team.
Ronna on why she is saying now for the first time that she disagrees with Trump on pardoning J6ers: “When you’re the RNC Chair, you kind of take one for the whole team, right? Now I get to be a little bit more myself.”

Talked yesterday about Jim Jordan for Speaker. He’s opposed issues like foreign aid, disaster aid and funding bills in the past. Now his first agenda items would be Ukraine, Israel and funding the govt. Putting Jordan in charge is putting an arsonist in charge of the fire house.

if he would say Biden is a threat to democracy, Dean Phillips said “yes.” Phillips has grown especially critical in the past week over ballot access and his comments significantly contrast with the start of his campaign when he praised Biden.
I don’t want to make things weird *on here* but I have a great boss who is irritatingly smart, extremely thoughtful and pushes me to be better at my job every day. Here’s a look back at her first year:

It’s much simpler than that. Vaccines aren’t available for kids his age. The new mask guidance is only for people who are fully vaxxed. Kids should still be wearing masks.
Was just on a flight from DC to LA where a man had a medical emergency and 2 nurses, 4 EMTs and an MD took care of him for almost 3 hours and it still blows me mind that there is a segment of people who think medical professionals are the villains after the last two years
Seems really dangerous for media critics to give further credence the idea that the New York Times is an organ of the left when there’s literally nothing in their reporting to support that claim.

No one is going to have more fun being the attack dog than Tim Walz. Shapiro looks and talks like the next Obama, which is what a lot of folks were excited about. Walz looks and talks like Jon Tester, which gives us running room in suburban, exurban and maybe even rural places.
The word I heard from Dems last night was “compatibility” and clearly she had better vibe w a peer like Walz than Shapiro.
But what’s striking isn’t just that she landed on the left’s preferred pick - it’s that she defied so many Dem consultants who preferred Shapiro

This is the only paragraph about Melissa DeRosa that matters. She knew about what Cuomo did to Charlotte Bennett, believed Charlotte Bennett, and continued to cover up what Cuomo did.
This is a totally normal interaction between a reporter and source. The story is not that Maggie was trying to get a comment from Cohen, it’s that Cohen put it *in writing* that Trump personally signed off on a statement that was inaccurate.
Maggie Haberman received a Pulitzer Prize for her reporting on the Trump administration.
Text message receipts in court show she was collaborating with Michael Cohen to use her reporting as a mouthpiece for Trump’s lies
What’s Trump’s position on IVF? Nobody knows! Would he try to block abortion pills in the mail or revoke their FDA approval? Nobody knows! What kind of “pro-life” judges does he want now that Roe’s already gone? Nobody knows!
I haven’t said anything about this weekend’s events because everything feels so big and my words have felt so small. My opinion doesn’t add to the conversation, except that the worst thing one can do is stay silent in the face of such ugly and horrifying acts of terror.

Kay Hagan loved raw milk. Decriminalized it in NC. She once took me with her to her raw milk dealer. It felt very much like a drug deal, as they were selling it out of the trunk of their car. They were lovely. I think they were Mennonite? When Kay asked how their family was 1/2

Only
@JoeBiden
can make this decision. If he continues to run, he will be the nominee of the Democratic Party. What he needs to decide is whether that is wise; whether it's in HIS best interest or the country's?
Just so we are clear. It doesn’t just end abortion access. It offers *bounties* to citizens for turning in people they suspect of assisting abortions. It’s all insane.
And if TX gets a green light from the 6-3 conservative Supreme Court for its outrageous but wily new law -- it offers bounties to people who successfully turn in anyone who assists a woman in getting an abortion -- you can count on other red states following suit.
