Abdul is great but the person I’m focused on in this video if his press staffer. She’s on top of it & directing the show. She’s scouting the gaggle & making sure her boss gets his word in. I also like her lil smile she did when Abdul was answering the Obama question.
“What is it like to meet somebody you looked up to for forever? I’ve read everything he’s written twice, literally everything,” Abdul El-Sayed says on meeting Obama for the first time Saturday. “I was grateful that he put this campaign in the broad sweep of his own experience.”

If you’re the third or fourth son in your family and you’re complaining about women and traditional family values know that traditionally you should be in a monastery.

I started watching this show (I’m on season 1) and omg I love it. I love a strong confident competent woman in a leadership role, esp governing. So good

Long form content has always been the key. Always. It’s also a better use of everyone’s time.

How electeds & candidates say things matter which is why it’s so important to get their voice right as a staffer or else it comes off inauthentic and inconsistent.
Barack Obama: "Let me be clear..." Zohran Mamdani: "For too long..." Abdul El-Sayed: "And the thing about it is..."

Whichever 2028 Presidential snags @roxierichner will be a campaign to watch, especially when it comes time for Michigan in the cycle. Roxie is light years ahead in her career and an extremely kind person. She was one of the people I was very excited to see out on the trail.

Her name is @roxierichner, and she runs comms for the campaign. Thank you all for filling me in. Running a gaggle that smoothly takes real skill, and she was locked in. Much respect

The Cheesecake Factory — an establishment I love — is so infamously gaudy and over-the-top the designer regularly gives interviews about it
This line is getting praise on X, but it’s actually elitist garbage written by a speechwriter who clearly hasn’t spent much time in a Cheesecake Factory, which has none of the gaudy Trump aesthetic, and just feels good to say because it represents flyover MAGA “night out.”

Great staffers are hard to come by nowadays because it feels like (not always true) they want to be the talent so I like to give flowers where it’s due. I don’t know her name but she’s great.

JFC, people. Obama wasn’t making fun of people who eat at The Cheesecake Factory. He was making fun of the decor: part faux Italian villa, part Egyptian palace, part Las Vegas fever dream. Unless you invented eating mozzarella sticks amidst the architectural splendor of a collapsing empire, please chill.

I can only imagine what it’s like working for Mamdani. Staffing this must be insane, right? The only other person I remember having this kind of influence was Obama (in my lifetime). Also the kids. Look at the kids reactions. He’s inspiring the next generation. They love him.
New Yorkers love them some Mamdani lol

And he’s such a good campaigner and communicator because look at how he pivots back to the governor. Pulling her and making sure she’s seen and not left out. If you’re a staffer this is a great example for your boss.

AI can simply multiply the useless, the unimportant, the trivial, and the distracting. Separate the critical few from the trivial many.

I wish I had a me in my professional life. I actually get a little jealous of the people who get to hire and work with me. I wish I could clone myself for that reason.
