Why is Rahm EVERYWHERE doling out advice to Dems? ā€œI’m not sitting in the back of Thelma and Louise’s car anymore.ā€

This speaks to a broader challenge for R’s in ā€˜26; lots of people who gave $$, turned out in ā€˜24 for Trump aren’t all that interested in midterm dynamics/downballot contests.

We talk a lot about how Trump has reshaped the GOP. But, he’s massively re-ordered the Dem party too. This is Dem running for Lt. GOV in VA. Not a DC job. But, doesn’t matter. Running as a Dem now requires centering around Trump more than ideology or issue.

ā€œThe Democratic Party has this massive risk aversion of we’re just like do the safest, most boring thing and hope that things fall our way,ā€ Dan Pfeiffer told me, ā€œas opposed to swing for the fences and try to really win.ā€

If anyone on the Senate side is looking for a guy who just won a bunch on Jeopardy and is currently a ā€œstay at home sonā€ he told the WSJ that ā€œWorking in the Senate as a staffer would be my dream job, basically.ā€ wsj.com/lifestyle/care…

AI is going to have social and economic consequences the size and speed of which we can’t even imagine: (From Axios) Dario Amodei — CEO of Anthropic — has a blunt, scary warning: AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs — and spike unemployment to 10-20% in

Good reminder too that any talk of 2028 needs to take this serious consideration. The conversation we are having today about the ā€œeconomyā€ may be nothing like what we will be having 2-3 years from now.

The CW on Elon’s time in DC is that he flamed out after promising more than he could deliver. But, DOGE fundamentally reshaped the federal workforce in ways that may take years to appreciate. Those federal workers out of a job, also wouldn’t say DOGE failed.

Dems had already been eyeing Iowa as a potential pick-up opportunity & R’s were warning of softness too. Ernst’s Medicaid comments may give Dems an assist. Read why Jessica Taylor moved this race from SOLID to LIKELY Republican. cookpolitical.com/analysis/senat…

This is a war that Trump is destined to win. Doesn’t need Elon’s $$ anymore for his campaign; Trump is much more popular among R’s than Musk is; Congressional R’s are going to stick w/ Trump on BBB.

Political folks talk a lot about ā€œlow-infoā€ vs. ā€œhigh-infoā€ voters, with lower info now more likely to support R’s, high info vote Dem. BUT, there’s evidence that this framing is too simplistic. How voter GET news as important as IF they get it. cookpolitical.com/analysis/natio…
