.@GinaHinojosaTX is 100% correct. Our research has found that silence is one of the biggest traps that Democrats fall into on immigration. Voters know immigration is an issue. Avoiding the conversation doesn’t change that — it just means they hear someone else’s story instead.
“Biden’s problem is he didn’t lead on immigration. He was silent mostly.” Our @DashaBurns talked with Gina Hinojosa, the Democrat running for governor of Texas, about how she thinks Democrats should speak about immigration enforcement. 🎧 Full interview here: politi.co/4rQvBpD

My TMM Loser of the Week: All these anonymous 🤡 Gen Z campaign staffers complaining that their boss yelled at them when we’re trying to win back Congress 🤦🏻‍♂️ The Morning Meeting @2waytvapp @MarkHalperin @LarryOConnor
When I was 20 I used to sprint weekly to the Dirksen senate restaurant, pick up freshly made crab cakes, hop the automated train and deliver said still-warm crab cakes for my boss who happened to be a US Senator and one of the best men I’ve ever known…and I was proud to do it.

Every day, we respond to the aggressor for its terror against our people and our country. There are new results from our warriors’ long-range responses. Last night, the Ilsky Oil Refinery in the Krasnodar region was hit. Our long-range capabilities were also effective in the Rostov region: a plant supplying the occupiers with components for missiles and artillery, as well as a Pantsir-S2 system, was struck. Our sanctions were also applied to logistics facilities supporting this war. There were also results in the Black Sea. I thank the warriors of the Security Service of Ukraine, the Defense Forces of Ukraine, and the Ukrainian Navy for their precision. I’m grateful to everyone who responds to Russia’s strikes on our people and takes this war back to where it came from.

It's 4,366 miles from NYC to Anchorage and the NYTimes proves every bit of those miles in their stories on the AK Senate race. tinyurl.com/mrynmbft

Raise your hand if you’ve ever worked somewhere that macabre humor, insults, curse words, and politically incorrect phrases were used, and everyone accepted that it was a tension-reducing way of blowing off steam. 🙋‍♀️

Diesel in Nevada is $6.85 a gallon. That’s brutal for farmers, truckers, and working families. This is about the impact of Trump and Republican policies not “socialists” or Islam.

I'm proposing an independent federal agency to regulate AI and big tech. We need to act before serious harm occurs and hold these companies accountable when they break the rules.

yup.
This staffer who was bothered by Susan Wild losing her temper did the right thing: he told her to cut it out. That’s what adults do. You don’t sit and take it and then cry about it to the NYT 3 years later (conveniently right before an election).

I just donated to Teresa Benitez-Thompson in NV-2. Not only is she great, but the Republican running for that seat is carpetbagger, MAGA whacko, David Flippo who has stolen valor problems. tinyurl.com/yc3spt4x @Teresa4Nevada

The retiring Republican congressman that Flippo is trying to replace, Mark Amodei, has yet to endorse Flippo and told me just now he will “absolutely not” back him. 
“The guy is a fraud. … I’m not having my last action walking out the door to hug a guy who I think is a fraud.”
Exclusive to @washingtonpost: David Flippo, a Republican congressional candidate in Nevada, inflated his military record multiple times in recent years by claiming he received a Bronze Star “for valor” during his two-decade Air Force career. More here: washingtonpost.com/politics/…

I watched the entire interview last night after seeing the online chatter. I didn't think he was weird at all. In fact, I thought it was one of the more interesting and illuminating celebrity interviews. tinyurl.com/mpayau5p @williamfleitch
