Made me think of how the weekend before Election Day Senator Shelby very pointedly refused to support Roy Moore in a CNN interview he had booked
I know I'm getting old because of how much I deeply appreciate an old-fashioned, in-state political grudge

Here’s the judge’s “homework” for the parties in the Paramount-WBD case: She asked them to address, by noon Monday, the letter the court received from Sen. Cory Booker. Read the senator’s letter in full below:
In a letter filed w/ the court, Sen. Cory Booker urged the judge handling the Paramount-WBD antitrust litigation to independently review the proposed settlement before approving it, questioning whether its temporary commitments would adequately restore competition. The letter:

I know this guy! And this is a good, clear framework
Artificial intelligence without human wisdom, discernment, and judgment will be catastrophic. We have three urgent tasks: keep the worst-case predictions from becoming real, stop the harms already hurting us now, and make sure the benefits of AI lift the all the American people — not just a handful of billionaires and trillionaires.

.@CoryBooker "the American people are fed up." "Republicans & Democrats know that the costs they are paying, the inflation rates they are suffering, the diesel prices & gas prices, are all because of this President's stupid actions getting us into another Middle East quagmire"

An underreported story last cycle was how much (coordinated) spending Republicans did in TX. This is becoming a trend for them, with lots of implications for the map.
I’m reminded of the classic Pat Riley quote - “If you fall overboard, you must be an active participant in your own rescue.” Is Paxton?

.@CoryBooker this am on the stakes of the midterms & Trump: "we are in an existential crisis right now in our country that is not Left or Right, it's right or wrong - that's why you see Republicans leaving him, Independents leaving him, and so much enthusiasm from Democrats."

The safety of artificial intelligence systems demands urgent attention. The President should convene Congress at once to address it. This is not a moment for panic or despair. It is a moment for government to govern.
New: Democratic Sen. Cory Booker is planning this morning to call on President Trump to convene a bicameral special session of Congress to focus specifically on AI (The House has left until the midterms but the Senate is in for two more weeks)

Today I called out Kash Patel for who he is: a thug who uses government resources for himself, and is more interested in using his office to advance Trump's agenda than do the job of running the FBI.

Bipartisanship alert: Senator Cory Booker (D) and John Kennedy (R) are creating a "Senate Creators Caucus" with an event tomorrow. Although I will say it's a missed opportunity to be branded the Senate Posters Caucus.

Tonight, Trump’s convention will cast him as the center of America’s political story. The truth is, no president is the main character in our American story - we, the American people, are. We are the heroes we have been looking for. We can organize, we can mobilize, and we can end the corruption, cruelty, and chaos of this administration. From the war in Iran, to reckless tariffs driving up costs, to cruel attacks on health care that are kicking people off their insurance and raising costs for everyone else - this midterm is our chance to send a message, demand accountability, and change the direction of our country. Presidents have power. But in a democracy, the people are always more powerful than the people in power.

These remarks by Mr. Murphy are vile. This is bigotry, plain and simple, and it must be resoundingly condemned. This kind of hate is cancerous. Left unchallenged, it spreads, and I will not let that to happen. This is more than an attack on Muslim and Arab Americans. It is an attack on what America stands for: our shared values, our common humanity, and the fundamental promise that every one of us belongs. This is the politics of weakness. It seeks to divide us in the hope that fear and resentment will advance personal ambition. An attack on the civil rights and human dignity of one community threatens the rights and dignity of us all. I stand with my Muslim and Arab neighbors, because I revere their dignity and their rights, and because this is about something larger than any one community. I will not let Mr. Murphy, or anyone else, divide us. That is not who we are as New Jerseyans, and it is not who we are as Americans.
