Itās possible Trump & Collins are so much weaker than in 20 that any Dem can win, but hard to ignore how much harder & uncertain Platner makes this race for Dems. Until 7/13 the party can replace him if he drops out. Will Bernie/Warren ask him w/more polls like this?

President Trump may be looking for a distraction from his unpopular war in Iranāand Cuba is in his sights, despite posing no imminent threat to the US.
Our new polling shows fewer than a third of Americans see Cuba as an enemy. If Democrats don't present an alternative to escalation, they risk ceding the narrative to the administration. thirdway.org/memo/trump-is-lā¦

"Who could have imagined that the two leading progressive lights would receive fewer votes than the Republicans in ultra-blue Los Angeles?" newsweek.com/mamdani-of-la-nā¦

The challenge the US faces with Israel policy is generational, says @RahmEmanuel. He explains why in his conversation with @SarahMcCammon on the latest episode of What It Takes.

After WWII, SS members cut out their tattoos that marked them as SS in order to come in to America. Now, we have a potential US Senator with an SS tattoo. š¤¦āāļø

The Biden White House was uniquely to blame for the open borders crisis during his Administration. It wasn't DHS and now we learn it wasn't our Ambassador to Mexico Ken Salazar who begged the WH to get smart on the border. tinyurl.com/2zw9acmu @KenSalazar

The story here is not Jerry Seinfeld or what he said about Palestine.
The story here is that for 3 years Jews are being hounded by pro Palesitinian maniacs who go around with their phones harassing Jews for content on TikTok.
