Club Crockett New entry!
BASH: “You're still fully behind Abdul El-Sayed?”
STEVENS: “Look, I'm on the Democratic ticket. I can't say that I agree with everything that's gone on… I'm looking to be on the team to support my next governor Jocelyn Benson, and frankly these great Democrats who are working their tails off, who are going to make Hakeem Jeffries the first black Speaker of the House.”
BASH: “You didn't mention Abdul El-Sayed in that last answer.”
STEVENS: “Well, look, I would just say, you had asked me if I'm still on the team, I'm on the team.”
That's why it's more dangerous if Centrists win something. Their argument will be Centrism is why we won, and if they lose they'd argue we need to move further right.
Credit where's due, he's a lot less slippery than Neera Tandon.
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."
From my new Zeteo interview with the top centrist pundit - on the left, Michigan, Gaza, immigration, polls, electability, and more:

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.

Few DSA victories, and he thinks we're worst than Dixiecrats era or Klan. No such thing as a good Billionaire!!!
"I think the Democratic Party is in the worst place it's ever been, in the 250-year history of the country."
Billionaire investor Bill Ackman delivers a scathing assessment of Democrats, describing the party as "crazy, radicalized" and "anti-American."
Ackman acknowledges that there are still high-quality Democrats in Congress but argues the party as a whole has lost its way.
He also singles out Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a politician he says he once respected, accusing him of compromising his values to protect his political career.
His criticism extends beyond Washington. See what Ackman says about New York City's mayor and his own political ambitions: foxnews.com/media/bill-ackma…
He's not refuting anything Abdul said, just mad that he said the obvious?
He also opposed supporting most Muslim countries that are repressive like Egypt and Pakistan. Is that Islamophobic?

9%Never Trump Republicans

34%CAP (Neera Tandon)
74 votes • Final resultsThird-way motto, "we're not Right enough"!
Third Way Senior Fellow Yemisi Egbewole explains the org on The Fifth Column:
A beacon for normies that go, where is my place in the Dem party ?
As the left get louder, Third Way's relevancy becomes even more important
They will be sitting down with every 2028 Dem candidate
I really think of them as balancing the consumer and business/corporate interests
This Reactionary Liberal is mad that The Klan and German Bund party of our time gets more hate than the Robber Barrons.
Third Way's Yemisi Egbewole: I think it is unfair for AIPAC to hold a heavier weight than other members that get money from crypto, AI, big pharma, oil & gas
If you are in Congress and you have a very deeply Jewish pocket, it would almost be suicidal to not accept any AIPAC money because I think that base would generally turn on you.
Mehdi Hasan: Do you think the 2028 candidate will have to be more pro Palestinian, less pro Israel?
Yemisi: I think the 2028 candidate is going to have to be more conscious of this geopolitical situation than they have been in 2020 or 2016.
Basically traumatize us with Neo-Liberalism but with velvet gloves!
Taxing someone makes you a Communist is the most Conservative thing to say!
Late-stage capitalism: taxpayers subsidize Walmart’s low wages through SNAP, making its employees the biggest recipients of food assistance. Corporate welfare must end. And the cherry on top? Corporations want a pat on the back for paying workers the wages they’ve already earned.

Susan Collins’ amazing let-them-eat-road-salt moment
Collins: I was successful at getting road salt removed from the tariff list.
Jackson: What about everything else? We can’t eat road salt. With everything she’s doing with the Iran war, there will be so many less people that can afford to drive that I’m not even sure the road salt will be worth anything.
Rumor has it two more versions will drop. One at August 21st to commend slavers who were brutalized by Nat Turner and another one at April 19th to honor the Prisoner Guards who suffered Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Wait for the complete set to drop!
