I remember in 2020, I kept telling other staff in the Senate that Warnock & Ossoff were going to win in Georgia.
They universally (a) thought I didn’t know what I was talking about or (b) thought I was joking and literally laughed in my face. Then, we won. (1/3)
Sen. Raphael Warnock told donors in April that Democrats are "sleeping" on Mississippi to some laughs, per recordings of event. His argument to invest in the race was that Democrats' "ceiling is too low ... our ceiling is 52. That's terrible. Part of the way to fix that is the South"
"I think we can win in Mississippi if the conditions are just right"

Joined @foxandfriends yesterday to talk about why I’m so excited about Democrats’ chances in Georgia and across the country this November. #VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

I started a podcast called Lowlights with my former WH colleague @GevinReynolds precisely because of attitudes like @stephenasmith’s here.
Too many boys grow up being told they should “be a man” about their problems, which means they are supposed to suffer in silence.
Men die by suicide at nearly 4x the rate of women, and are less likely to seek mental health treatment. Meanwhile a record number young men report having no close friends. It’s a crisis.
Lane Johnson being honest about his struggles isn’t something to mock. A pro athlete seeking help is exactly the kind of example we should be encouraging.
If you or someone you know need help, please call or text: 9-8-8

They crack jokes about George Floyd and laugh in our faces, and we do nothing.
They shoot our children in the back and then sentence them as adults for defending themselves and we do nothing.
They call Michelle Obama, the first Black First Lady of the United States a Man, and a Monkey and we do nothing.
They strip away voting rights in the same southern states where we send our best Black athletes to play college sports to make them BILLIONS, and we do nothing.
They openly talk about bringing SLAVERY back, and we do nothing.
We are desensitized to our own disrespect.
Thanks, @JenniferJS_. In my opinion, Trump showed up to the Supreme Court to intimidate the justices. He has no respect for separation of powers or the Constitution.
Dem strategist @GevinReynolds on BBC said Trump only went to the Supreme Court hearing to intimidate judges he installed. BBC interjected, saying we can't know Trump's intention blah blah blah. Scared of being sued!
Reynolds is right though.😀
And just like that, Goodell confirmed what I predicted — the @NFL isn't backing down. The Rooney Rule is here to stay. espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/4836…
“The legal challenge to Florida’s Rooney Rule, a policy designed to promote diversity in the hiring of state college coaches and athletic directors, must be understood not as a legitimate legal argument, but as an act of legal fiction rooted in white supremacy.” — @GevinReynolds

🚨Florida @AGJamesUthmeier is threatening the @NFL over the Rooney Rule. As a former NFL employee and current law student at @YaleLawSch, I wrote about why this challenge is rooted in legal fiction — and what's really driving it. NEW in @TheRoot theroot.com/florida-s-rooney…

⚖️To get into the legal weeds, the Rooney Rule doesn't deprive anyone of employment opportunities or compel teams to refuse to hire anyone. As legal scholar @NJeremiDuru has shown, the policy was written to survive exactly this kind of challenge.

🏈The NFL has the ball. I hope the league doesn't just play defense — I hope it goes on offense, including making plays to diversify the ownership ranks. Full piece here: theroot.com/florida-s-rooney…

President @realDonaldTrump wants the @Commanders and @councilofdc to name the new RFK Stadium after him. In my latest op-ed in @thehill, I argue why doing so would be a huge mistake.

I love being a part of the @RepUnderwood fan club!
When I interned on the Hill the office I was working for felt super racist. Once I was walking along the tunnel and I saw Congresswoman Underwood and she gave me the biggest smile. It felt like she could see I was sunken. It picked me up. I’ll always remember that.

Grateful to @BBC for moderating an honest conversation between @MRBartlettNH and me rooted in mutual respect and a desire to find common ground. Would love to see more of this on cable news!

"Democracy won’t work unless there’s compromise.”
@JonTester calls out partisan gridlock, bad bills & politics that only benefit the uber-rich.
