Turns out ‘ol Biden was 100% right on those pardons. Anyone think Liz Cheney wouldn’t be under indictment right now if she weren’t carrying one?

Love this!
Speechwriting isn’t a lost art; it’s an adaptable one. From 3-hour stem-winders to radio fireside chats to televised Reagan/JFK/Obama to the digital-friendly approach, the practice evolves to meet people where they are.
Words matter. Eloquence travels. On we march.
“We ended up developing this very interesting approach, which combines speechwriting and social media,” @AntonioAEsparza said.
Too often, speechwriting and digital operate in silos. A candidate gives a speech, and only then are clips identified.
But Antonio offers a new strategy: building clippable moments into the speechwriting process from the start.

For the last decade, @runforsomething. has run a 50 state strategy with a tight on values flexible on policy model that’s enabled us to elect 1900+ millennials and Gen Z to state and local office nearly everywhere.
Pretty cool to see that theory of change validated in a wave election!
A bunker kinda guy.

For the uninitiated: the suggestion is to pass a law allowing people to sue federal officers for violating their rights.
Congress should absolutely do this.
Door. Ass. Bye.

Gonna miss Josh Gottheimer demanding anonymity to say how One Democrat thinks Lawler rocks and is unbeatable

An incredible campaign run by the Twitterless Emily and the dynamite comms warrior @MaddyRosen_
Republicans (and some Dems) said nobody could beat Mike Lawler. Cait Conley stepped up and said I don't lose.
The Hudson Valley now has a proud patriot fighting for us in DC.
Last night, the Hudson Valley proved that people across the political spectrum can come together united by shared values and the belief that America’s best days are still ahead of us. And for that, we celebrate.
Now, we start getting to work. We have a lot to do to root out the corruption that has taken hold in Washington, lower costs for working families, and make our government serve the people once again.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for entrusting me with the privilege of a lifetime. I will never take it for granted, and I promise to fight each and every day for the better, more affordable future we all deserve.
If there’s a better campaign communications person than @AndrewMamo5, that would be news to me. And as good a person as you’ll find in this business, too!

Per Sharia law, all meals at the Cheesecake Factory must now begin with a land acknowledgement.
Amidst all the analysis, I wanted to add one point I think deserves more attention:
Fuck Stephen Miller.

Sometimes bad things happen to bad people
But more importantly- @CaitforNewYork is exactly the type of person we need in Congress.
The day after 9/11, she made the decision to serve her country
Now she's serving her country in a different capacity
Another @ElectTheBench win!

BILL MURRAY: Could you just say the words, 'My dog just died.' I want to see what happens to your smile
HASSETT: Well is it your dog, or my dog?
MURRAY: Your dog
HASSETT: Okay. My dog just died 😕

To read the headline, you'd think this was just ... magically happening and had nothing to do with policies enacted by Trump and his GOP cronies in Congress. THE PAPER OF RECORD, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!

It’s just crazy how literally nothing can break the perception that republicans are fiscally conservative. It does not matter that republicans have exploded the debt and deficit every time for the last 50 years, people still insist they’re fiscally conservative
