Putting my DCCC political strategist hat back on for a minute, the DSA vs. normie Dem debate is overlooking an important fact. Black Democratic turnout has been surging since the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act and cleared the way for the Trump-backed redistricting wave. Louisiana, South Carolina, Alabama, Michigan, and Tennessee. When voting is not a luxury and your rights are on the line, politics stops being an Ivy League seminar — and there's no patience for faculty lounge debate. It's existential, and the national media would do well to see there's more than one story coming out of these primaries.
Behind the politician is a team of staffers who get the work DONE.
Conservative radio host Erick Erickson on Senator Jon Ossoff: You talk to farmers in South Georgia, they can get him on the phone. They can get his staff on the phone. They can get help. You talk to Republicans in Houston County, very Republican part of the state, they know they can reach out to Ossoff, and he doesn't care that they're Republican. If they need something, he's going to get it done.

Two Republican mayors from the reddest parts of Georgia are breaking ranks to back Sen. Jon Ossoff’s reelection bid, telling the @ajc that the Democrat’s work for their communities outweighs partisan differences. #gapol

Hey @JetBlue, not a good start to the morning and need to speak to a customer service agent. The system hit one snag this morning so maybe someone here could call me directly? You canceled my flight and rebooked me on a flight that leaves after I plan to return. Can someone call?

Q: You’ve been Republicans for most of your voting lives. Who’s voting for James Talarico?
Republican moms: *all raise their hands*
“I like him. He was a middle school teacher in a public school in Texas, and they started cutting all his funding and he said, ‘Well, if I can’t change my school, then I’m gonna need to change my state.’ And that’s so becoming of a leader.
I want a middle school teacher who’s like, hey, this is broken. Somebody needs to fix it. Why not me?”
“This is not what I signed up for. Give me somebody who’s not extremist. I don’t care what party they are. I’m going to vote for whoever is the most common sense and who I think would be the most likely to protect my kids.”
“You’re never going to vote for a candidate that thinks exactly like you… You need to get on the bus that’s driving closest to where you want to end up. Talarico, I find him to be pretty moderate, and I think that is telling of what’s happening in the state of Texas. The Republicans should be worried.”

I am absolutely thrilled to have Gov @GretchenWhitmer’s endorsement for U.S. Senate. She is a champion for our state, she understands the stakes of this race and why it’s so important we elect the strongest Dem in this primary, and she gets stuff done for Michigan. Let’s go win!

I get mods being squeamish about being asked to defend unpopular positions from some leftier folks in the coalition. But here's the thing: you don't have to defend them. You should say those positions are wrong loudly and often!
It's coalition politics. Not a suicide pact.

The Knicks should teach every team from high school to college how important work ethic and chemistry are! Besides having the best player in the NBA this year, they had an attitude of never relenting, and never giving up. Amazing run. Champions we can all look up to!

If your candidate for governor didn’t win the GOP nomination tonight, you are welcome here. Iowans deserve a leader who lives in Iowa, who has worked for Iowans rather than for insiders, and someone that is committed to serving Iowa families. We already have more GOP donors than the GOP nominee. Join us. All Iowans - Democrats, Republicans and independents - are all welcome.
