We live in a time when some mistake cruelty for strength. When demeaning others and bullying people is supposed to make you “tough.” But this is what real strength looks like: Joe Biden is 83 years old and facing Stage IV prostate cancer. Last night, he walked back in front of a crowd in Delaware with one message: “This is no time to give up.” The crowd rose to its feet again and again. The Delaware News Journal described flashes of the same “scrappy, fighting spirit” that has defined him for decades. Stage IV cancer. 83 years old. Still standing. Still speaking. Still fighting. Just like he has his entire life, you knock @JoeBiden down, and he gets right back up. For millions of us, that resilience remains an inspiration. Keep fighting, Joe. 🇺🇸

NEWS: Roger Marshall’s primary opponent endorses Adam Hamilton for Senate!
Arch "Pond" Naramore ran against Marshall in the Republican primary. He spent $120 on an ad in Grass and Grain and earned more than 20% of the vote. Kansans of every political party agree: Roger Marshall isn't getting the job done.

Tomorrow, the Georgetown Center for the Constitution is hosting a book workshop for our Faculty Director, Professor Stephanie Barclay, and her forthcoming book, Constitutional Rights in a Democracy. The book asks a foundational question: What work should constitutional rights do, and which institutions should protect them? It develops a new account of constitutional-rights adjudication rooted in democratic principles and human flourishing. We look forward to welcoming scholars from Georgetown Law and across the country for a day of discussion and engagement with the manuscript. @GeorgetownLaw @shbarclay @RandyEBarnett @joshchafetz @michelebgoodwin @TaraLeighGrove1 @AndrewKoppelman @_John_Mikhail @vicnourse @NinaVarsava @FranciscUrbina @BWatson_theory @LaelWeinberger @uiowa @UTAustin @NorthwesternU @NotreDame @WisconsinLaw @UofIllinois @Harvard_Law

The most important thing is to ban partisan gerrymandering. Day 1.

I am incredibly honored to have the endorsement of the Iowa Farmers Union. Farmers across Iowa are hurting because of the reckless policies coming out of Washington. Politicians like Ashley Hinson are failing our Iowa farmers. They deserve better.

.@TB_Times is moving Luna’s seat from “Potentially Vulnerable” to “Vulnerable.” The second ratings change in as many days in our favor. Voters in FL-13 are ready to turn the page on a politics defined by rising costs and corruption and instead choose leaders who put service over self.

I appreciate you all. But when have any of you worked in a sustained capacity in Congress? With someone who got things done?
Legal debate has featured claims about what to blame for an inactive Congress. Eg, a couple years ago: Chevron deference is to blame, so overrule it. Or more recently, judicial review is to blame, so abandon that. A null hypothesis: politics is to blame. (And the solution.)

Anna Paulina Luna tried to bury this ad with threats from her lawyers. Watch it and see for yourself what Luna is trying to hide about her own record of corruption.
Today, I am launching my first general election ad against Anna Paulina Luna. I served our country for 30 years, and now I am running for Congress, focused on one mission: making life more affordable.  Residents of our district deserve a representative who puts them first.

We gave Breitbart hard passes when Joe Biden was president. And if Politico was somehow friendly to Democratic White Houses, there are a lot of Biden and Obama spokespeople who'd like many hours of our lives back.
In a gaggle, @VP said Trump isn't banning media outlets -- he's saying no special access to White House if those outlets engage in what is effectively far left propaganda. Vance said Politico is as anti-Trump as Breitbart was anti-Obama or anti-Biden but nobody in the media expected the Biden admin or Obama admin to give Breitbart special access. "It's about basic fairness. They can still report. They still have the access to free speech. They're just not going to get an office in the White House anymore," Vance said of ban of CNN, Politico and MSNow

This guy is definitely one to watch for the next six weeks. He is constantly bloodying his opponent’s nose. @RevAdamHamilton
U.S. Sen. candidate @RevAdamHamilton (D-KS) on debating opponent Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS): "Nexstar has a policy that a person can't get on the debate stage unless they've raised 25% of their money in their state, and Roger Marshall doesn't qualify for the debate."

Love the silence.
Nice of the White House to give everyone nine minutes without having to hear Trump’s big mouth. A rare public service.

Thomas Jefferson, 1819: If the Judiciary indeed has the final word on fundamental questions, “the constitution, on this hypothesis, is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary which they may twist and shape into any form they please.”

Bessent is actually right about that.
Bessent: "The press cares more about the press than anything else. After the White House Correspondents' Dinner, they didn't come in there to kill the press, they came in to kill the president, but all we heard about is the personal experiences of the press people, because somehow they were more important. Same thing with the aircraft in Ankara. The presidential pool said, 'Oh, we were so vulnerable!' They were there to kill the president, and the Secret Service made a decision."
