James Carville throws tantrum over being called an "establishment" Democrat.
Carville: "Where the fuck did I get—how did I get to be in the quote establishment..."
Matt Bennett of Third Way: "The Russians are just flooding social media with crap, it's all fake, and I would rather young people, especially, get their information by searching on AI bots..."
Hasan: "What does it say for your credibility on foreign policy issues if you've got the two biggest foreign policy issues of our lifetime, Iraq and Gaza, both wrong?"
Yglesias: "I don't know that those were the two biggest foreign policy issues of our lifetime..."
Mehdi Hasan: “You’ve argued that progressives need to take more moderate positions… But here’s why I don’t get Matthew the pragmatist. Abolish ICE is popular. Medicare for All, super popular. Ending or restricting arms sales to Israel has a super majority with American voters.”
Yglesias: "I'm curious what you think of this, because I've seen this discourse about Islamophobia and its sort of lowliness..."
Yglesias: "I'm coming in here... you're a tough interviewer."
Hasan: "I'm trying to be as genial as possible."

Me: "Do you know how many times you've tweeted about Piker since you wrote that tweet [about not tweeting about him] on August 30th?"
@mattyglesias: "Probably more than I intended to."
Me: "8 times.... you tweeted about Mike Rogers 6 times. So you're tweeting about the streamer you didn't want to talk about more than the Republican candidate you say you want to defeat."
Yglesias: "Yeah, that's fair."
Me: "Why?"
Yglesias: "What do you want me to say? You got me."

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Yglesias's posts since Aug 30 include ~5 mentioning Piker and at least 9 mentioning Rogers/Rodgers, not 8 and 6. Hasan posted about Piker ~35 times in the period.

Rahm Emanuel addresses his role in covering up the 2014 Laquan McDonald shooting.
Emanuel: "Look, all of us make a mistake."
Adam Jentleson of @SearchlightInst argues for Democrats to support building data centers.
Jentleson: "The impulse from a lot of college-educated folks and activists is to just oppose data centers... but the people who build the data centers tend to be working-class people."
Matt Yglesias: "Neera Tanden, who I've known for a long time, one of the things she specifically did in her previous stint as president of CAP was disciplined left-wing staffers who wanted to criticize Israel too much..."

Door 2!
“Many earnest liberals see Piker as a handy megaphone who can convey their message to an elusive constituency. Piker, however, is not so much joining the team as sizing it up as prey,” @jonathanchait argues: theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1…
