A different take: Primaries are good! They help hone the message for the general election, and help everyone find out where the electorate is. If he's not left enough for the district, he will lose. If he wins the primary, we learn what people want to hear.
I believe everyone should be primaried

Just a reminder that George Conway is not fundraising right now to run against a MAGA republican.
He is fundraising to run against progressive Democrats.

If the biggest donor to the DCCC/DNC ran a website where you could use AI to take women's clothes off I feel like there'd be a demand for Dems to give the money back.

This thread is perfect, no notes
With Trump very transparently saying that the invasion of Venezuela was to take their oil, let's dive into oil markets. TL;DR - it's not at all clear to me that Trump or the people around him have any coherent long term strategy.

He’s trying to paper over the main issue for GOP in 2026: America First and MAGA are 2 different things. The GOP is splintering into 2 factions.

In light of the Epstein Blackout, shouldn’t Khanna and Massie demand Johnson call the House back into session? (If he won’t, can they somehow hijack the pro forma session scheduled for Tuesday Dec. 23?) And Senators should make a similar demand of Thune.

this seems like a story that @thebulwark.com would do a Bulwark Takes on, are @samsteindc.bsky.social or @timmiller.bsky.social too busy today?
We discovered a Goodreads page linked to the email address of a top Pentagon official featuring pornographic books about “Asian wife sharing.”
The story gets wilder from there.

DOUBLE SCOOP! As @dfriedman.bsky.social was investigating a top Hegseth aide tied to a Goodreads page listing porno books featuring "Asian wife swapping" and sex with transgender women, MAGA hitman Jack Posobiec threatened to do a hit job on Dan. Smells like a Pentagon attempt at intimidation.
