Our talent pool isn’t limited, but often our vision of what makes talented staff is. If candidates want to run a different kind of campaign, they can’t limit themselves to only people who have done this exact job before.

Something I'm thinking about today re: stories like this-- Voters deserve to know who elected officials are at work and how they comport themselves in the job. And/but, it does seem women electeds get this treatment more frequently than male electeds, who are equally as prone to outbursts behind the scenes and are in greater number in elected office. These things don't negate each other, but they aren't separate either.

SCOOP: Inside the tumult of Mary Peltola's Senate campaign in Alaska and her time on Capitol Hill. Peltola is known publicly as kind and affable. But aides recall angry outbursts, slurs and a shove. (She also required staff to feed a pet chameleon.) nytimes.com/2026/09/23/us/po…

Angry Outbursts, Slurs and Firings: Tumult Rocks a Key Senate Campaign

Democrats hope that Mary Peltola can flip a Republican Senate seat in Alaska. Former aides describe a campaign and congressional office marked by chaos.

I can’t help think of the fact that Katie Porter just went from frontrunner to nonstarter in the CA gov race for exactly this kind of behavior. The double standard for white men in leadership is appalling, and so are his actions. Ken Martin should resign.

Inside the Phone-Throwing Drama at the Troubled, Broke Democratic Party

The Democrats should be well positioned to make gains in this year’s midterms. But inside party headquarters, every week brings paranoia, worries about money and, on occasion, emotional eruptions.

“We are capitalist, not socialist More than a dozen Congressional Democrats and other Dems running for office have signed a pledge to uphold centrist policies after the recent surge in progressive wins across the country. They are massively missing what voters are telling us

When Trump won on a populist message, strategists urged Democrats to adopt the message and learn how to talk to working people. And they did. Democrats — and most notably Democratic Socialists — have run and won on popular progressive policies.

The voters are making it clear what they want. They are voting for candidates who are proposing real solutions to a real affordability crisis. This is how we are going to win. This is the future of the party. And anyone who isn’t ready to welcome it, isn’t serious about winning.

Trump's endorsement mattered, but it's not why Andy Barr won | Opinion

Yes, Andy Barr had Trump's endorsement, but he won the KY Republican primary because he understood what the perfect candidate on paper didn't.
