Congrats to the 25 young Democrats named to that list by New York Mag—many of whom I adore—but it’s pretty bizarre to me that not one of the nominators thought of Congresswoman Sarah McBride. It’s just odd. Quite strange.

Hasan: The UK still has a king. King Charles III, but he has less gold in his palace then Donald Trump in the oval office right now. King Charles has more respect for democratic norms than the whiny manchild trying to send his troops into as many blue cities as he can.
