    I don’t think they realize what they’ve just done. Republicans in Georgia have just angered & awakened a sleeping growing giant. That giant which usually sleeps through midterms is now wide awake. They’ve handed progressives the energizing & mobilizing midterm issue they needed!

    Most fascinating data point I’ve seen in public this cycle is post debate @ABC poll: Harris at 45% support among white likely voters. Oh u don’t think 🧐 that’s all tht interesting? Well… if that 45% holds, it would be greater white support thn any Dem Pres candidate since 1976!

    The media coverage of VP Harris is a case study in implicit gender bias from both the left and right.

    So let me get this right, if Beshear had lost it would’ve been Biden’s fault. But he won solidly annddd that’s not at all because of Biden right, but despite him 🤦🏾‍♂️ you people are absurd. So many of the so-called political strategists on tv are inane.

    As discussed on @KatyTurNBC in many ways, more damage has been done to Biden by the melt down post debate than was done by his performance in the actual debate. We need to spend more of our time attacking the GOP - another week of this circular firing squad & we’re all doomed

    This unfortunately will get covered as politics as usual instead of for how unconscionable it is for The Speaker to be debasing himself & the office while undermining the rule of law to help one demagogue. This will be seen as an important sign in the collapse of the Republic
    HAPPENING NOW: Speaker Mike Johnson speaks outside Trump trial, while Cohen testifies about false invoices.

    It’s all panic mode, but data & reality check: new poll Bloomberg / Mng Consult shows Biden gaining in battleground (In MI & WI, Biden leads by 5 &3 points, respectively).Overall it’s still a toss up race in battlegrounds, maybe Dems should rally instead of attacking our own 🤷🏾‍♂️

    This is literally a case study in how racism works subconsciously in real life. Literally! This is why I’m more likely to get shot unarmed in my car by a cop than a white mob storming The United States Capitol.
    WATCH: Ron Johnson says he never "felt threatened" on 1/6 because "I knew those were people that love this country" but if "those were tens of thousands of Black Lives Matter and antifa protesters, I might have been a little concerned."

    The media is far too complicit in normalizing Trump’s racism. It’s as if racism isn’t a big deal. And it’s the double standard for me that’s particularly galling-if Biden had said at a rally that he can only see Black people, there would have been a category 5 nonstop media storm

    In new PBS @NewsHour poll, Harris is at 45% among white voters here at the close - this is better than either Obama or Biden’s performance on their way to winning a majority. When all the votes are counted Harris’ majority will be slightly better than Obama 2012 and Biden 2020

    #PressConference If we had this Biden on debate night none of this meltdown would be happening. He is clear tonight. He’s sharp & knowledgeable. And not for nothing, Trump COULD NEVER speak on this range of issues intelligently

    Facts. And I continue to ponder why is it he’s constantly allowed this double standard. He’s benefited from being able to operate outside the norms & rules for decades, pretty much free from accountability. It’s the very encapsulation of privilege.
    If the Democratic nominee for president showed up at Arlington National Cemetery, violated federal law for a campaign photo op, and their staffers got in a physical altercation when confronted, it would be the top news story from now until Election Day.

    If it’s Sunday.. ⁦@MeetThePress⁩ Thank you Congresswoman Cheney for putting country first. We can disagree on policy but we all agree on fighting authoritarianism that threatens our democracy and freedoms
