this whole “I’m not going to actively campaign or in any way make a proactive argument for why I should be the nominee but still expect voters to elect me” mindset is how you end up with Graham Platner taking over the race in the first place

👀 from a source close to Janet Mills: “The Governor remains on the ballot, and in the wake of this week’s stories, people across Maine are reaching out to tell her they’re voting for her and encouraging her to get fully back into the race.”

Florida Republicans have drawn a new congressional map that they hope produces a 24-4 GOP delegation in Florida. One of the 4 remaining Democratic seats would be the seat of the 83-year old Frederica Wilson, who is absent from the House but still running for reelection.

👀 Rep. Frederica Wilson, 83, missed today’s first round of votes Wilson hasn’t voted since April 17 She said in a statement sent by her office last week that she was recovering from surgery and would be “returning shortly,” but it’s unclear when exactly she’ll be back in DC

This shows a severe lack of investment in basic political education given that nonpartisan races in other states easily track 1:1 with partisanship. Abrams left the Georgia Democratic Party a complete trash heap.

Democratic-backed judicial candidates are in a difficult position. Warren (🔴) is winning a D+52 Douglas County drop by 15 points, suggesting the late effort to inform Democratic voters, including Obama’s involvement, did not translate into enough support.

Oh boy. In Nebraska, the Democrat (a Biden State Department official who coordinated aid to Israel) *loses support* after folks learn more about him. But populist @ahlmanforne (who just launched an independent campaign) not only gains support, he *leads the Republican incumbent.*

Unsurprisingly given the partisan lean of the district, in the initial ballot tests against a generic Democratic and a generic Independent candidate, Flood (R) leads by 7-8 points. But after respondents see all three bios, Backemeyer’s (D) support actually *drops* by 5 points

First the unions propping up Pratt. Now the Police boosting Huang. I don't know if this f*ckery is effective, but it certainly speaks to the level of cynicism among powerful interests aligned with Bass who benefit from the status quo.

The Police Protective League is coming to the rescue. They are dropping $105k on digital ads that are pretty clearly trying to bolster Rae Huang’s name ID & pretend she is DSA’s candidate (they endorsed no one but “recommended” Raman).

This is not suprising to anyone who has ever covered Becerra. He once held up his fingers in the sign of the cross to ward me off, as though I were a vampire, after a piece accurately describing his effort to undermine Pelosi with the Prog Caucus over ACA public option.

Don’t preach about bringing moral clarity to our city while lying to trick your supporters into thinking everything is rainbows and sunshine so they keep on donating. Don’t preach about how Bass is dishonest on the budget while LYING about something as simple as a campaign budget

Shortly after the 4/23 filing Rae doubled down, claiming that she was first to receive public matching funds (over $500k!) despite the fact that over a week prior Raman and Bass both got their checks. Bold faced lie you can contrast w/ Ethics site: x.com/raeforla/statu…

Thanks to Citizens United, our government has evolved to serve the interests of corporations over its citizens. It’s one of the only things both parties agree on: in politics, you pay to play. Which is why our opponents will always be able to raise more dollars than our genuinely

This makes electing Steyer over Becerra absolutely crucial. You need someone who isn’t reliant on the system to pull a 52-0 sweep off and Becerra will never be that in a million years.

@admcrlsn 78 is quite different from 68, and I feel that people generally get that Cooper alone can flip a purple-red state while Maine has never gone for Trump. IE Mills never came across as a silver bullet, which meant voters could have options.

Good reminder that if Dems had won the house, they would be in the minority because so many of members keep dying of old age. But if you point this out it’s because you hate old people

For too long, Los Angeles has treated Hollywood as an inconvenience rather than an asset. The result: 50,000 jobs lost When I’m mayor, LA will be a reliable partner to film productions. We’ll staff a real city film office, eliminate fees for smaller productions, simplify permitting, and get rid of ridiculous conditions that stall production.

Luke Barnett @LukeBarnett

If you call Film LA, the very first option is to report a production you think should be shut down for not having a permit. The third option is to try and get a permit. If you don't get your application in my 10am a week before the shoot, they will not process your application.
