It is awesome thanks
Must be an awesome job to be the guy at CNN whose whole "reporting" beat literally just consists of going through old posts. Literally a legacy media version of that crazy Olivia Reingold broad at the Free Press lol

I asked Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed about why he erasing old posts, including a dozen tweets that championed the ā€œdefund the policeā€ movement, following reporting from my @KFILE colleagues.

NEW: We've asked Platner's campaign since year to explain text messages showing his ex-girlfriend was describing his tattoo as a Nazi symbol months before Platner says he knew its meaning. Platner was pressed on it last night and said, "I can’t say why." cnn.com/2026/06/05/politics/…

The October 8th rally was ā€œtoo soonā€ and too controversial for NYC-DSA. Every socialist elected official - including Zohran Mamdani - avoided it. But Darializa Avila Chevalier, then relatively unknown, was there.

CNN's @KFile reports on evidence that undercuts Senate candidate Graham Platner's claim that he only learned of his tattoo's Nazi associations last year. A woman who previously spoke to CNN anonymously is now going public, saying Platner referred to the image as "my Totenkopf" years before the controversy. She also provided CNN text messages showing that months before Platner says he learned the symbol's Nazi meaning, she was discussing among her friends.

Chris Hayes: How is it that your ex-girlfriend was texting people that you had a Nazi tattoo in August but you didn't know until October? Graham Platner: They didn't tell me that

Americans have one message for the Bidens: Go away. Joe Biden left office tremendously unpopular & remains so (-19 pt net favorable). He's by far the least popular of any former Dem prez at this point after their presidency. Jill Biden was the least popular Dem first lady.

Zohran endorsing all the progressive and far left challengers while governing like Rudy Giuliani on crime is probably the shrewdest thing he’s done politically
This is the team. This is our year. Get out and vote. Early voting starts June 13th and runs until June 21st. Election Day is Tuesday, June 23rd.

So let me get this straight. Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom. Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land. Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan. Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted. And I know: ā€œBut what about your paintings, Hunter?ā€ Please.

WSJ reports from inside the senators meeting with Platner. Some interesting details where his biggest backers pressed him if any additional allegations were coming. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders asked Platner if any additional allegations would emerge against the embattled Democratic candidate, according to people familiar with the discussion. Platner said there weren’t any. Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who also attended the meeting, followed up and said there is a big difference between marital issues and allegations of sexual assault, the people said. Platner agreed and denied any credible allegations of assault were forthcoming.Ā  wsj.com/politics/policy/sena…

Worth noting on how the Tom Kean Jr. time line on offering full transparency keeps expanding. Two weeks ago he said to @wildstein he’d be back in the next couple weeks. Yesterday he put out a statement saying he’d be back ā€œwithin a matter of weeks.ā€

Is there any precedent to a congressman running for reelection who has just totally and completely disappeared from public view in like the last century?

And the 77-year old secretary of state puts her advanced degree (in communication) on the official website, where you learn who won elections over the course of a month. @jbarro correct again, I'm afraid
The fact that California elections often can't be resolved for weeks is kind of insane and not common in other electoral systems around the world.
