Pretty sure @maxwellcyoung was being lied to, given the multitude of context clues we have since been given! Congrats to him on his big new job.

OMG "Young’s stint as communications director for the mayor’s office included a dustup in February 2022 after Politico revealed that Adams, who had previously claimed to be a vegan, ordered fish at various restaurants around the city." https://t.co/86NEokaiPo

Anthropic has tapped an ex-staffer for Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and outgoing Mayor Eric Adams for a top communications role – as the AI giant tries to distance itself from allegations that is too...

"I had one older woman, who's very politically savvy, say to me, 'Men want to be him, women want to be with him.'" Read @michaelkruse on @grahamformaine's maybe unlikely/maybe unsurprising staying power after revelations of offensive posts & a Nazi tat. https://t.co/1QenuU1iQ9

Keep in mind that even with the TX map upheld by SCOTUS, Republicans still on track for a very minimal overall gain from redistricting, with FL/IN/LA/VA the biggest remaining question marks.
If you score remap shifts between safe/competitive seats as +/-0.5, here's how the count looks today, to my eye: CA: Dem +4.5 MO: GOP +1 NC: GOP +0.5 OH: GOP +0.5 TX: GOP +4 UT: Dem +1 That leaves Republicans ahead by half a seat, w/ FL, IN & VA the biggest remaining variables.

.@claireforqueens has begun the @nycDSA endorsement process and will only run with the organization’s backing, her spox said. The former UAW organizer has ties to Shawn Fain. And she is heavily favored by some Mamdani associates. https://t.co/Aqu4qRWeOy via @politico

You remember COVID era censorship, right? They banned us from their apps. They deplatformed alternate views and tried to silence any form of opposition. That's why we built Unplugged. So when the chips are down, we know we have an independent platform that will have our back.

Wow VA House Speaker Don Scott (D) just suggested the leg is considering drawing a 10D-1R House map for the midterms... SCOTT: "10-1 is not out of the realm to be able to draw the maps in a succinct and community-based way" Current delegation is 6D-5R
