That’s rich coming from a “journalist” whose entire raison d’être is telling a female candidate to shut up.
A male candidate telling a female candidate to shut up and then not apologizing
Just compounding an unforced error
Via @DanaBashCNN
“BASH: This week, there was a protester in the debate that you had with Susan Collins. She responded by saying "This must be a Troy Jackson supporter," and you told the senator, "Shut up." Do you regret saying that no?
JACKSON: No, she said that it was a Troy supporter. I mean, she accused me of setting that up. I had no idea who it was. I mean, I was surprised whenever he jumped up out of there. I have had four debates with Senator Collins. I have shook her hand afterwards every time. But what I'm not going to be is talked down to by Senator Collins. I'm not going to be accused of things like that. I mean, I'm fighting for Mainers. And, I mean, I just think that was another situation where she was talking down to me. And so I'm not -- I'm not going to apologize for that now.”
Know what’s an indication of her strength in a general election? Her ability to get the 3rd-most votes in US history, in just 107 days, and while running in the worst possible global climate for an incumbent in decades.

Sunset by Turner
J. M. W. Turner, The Fighting Temeraire, 1839
The HMS Temeraire was a famous warship from Trafalgar. By 1838, it was obsolete.
Turner saw a small steam tug drag the wooden giant down the Thames for scrap.
It changed art history forever, anticipating Impressionism and setting the stage for modern art.
Turner called this painting "My Darling". He refused every offer to sell it during his lifetime and left it to the British nation when he died.
Oh look! Politico’s at it again. 🙄 Must be another good poll on the way.
‘She totally blew it’: How Kamala Harris wasted a year to make her case politi.co/4zpnrH1
No, you don’t understand the math. Harris won 6/7 elections and came within 115k flipped votes - 0.07% of all votes cast - of the 7th. All in the worst environment for a Dem to run in 40 years. Hilarious you think 5% Josh can win. An IDF volunteer will never be president.

nobody currently wants to reckon with the polling that shows Kamala Harris absolutely stomping it among young voters in a Dem primary.
That’s funny
We did our first 2028 Democratic primary draft as the reconstituted "Still Counting" podcast!
@ClareMalone, @NateSilver538 and I are ready for your fire and fury 🔥⚡️

I wonder if people like Tom Morello consider the nearly 1 MILLION people who will have died because USAID was slashed. They're not in Gaza, so I guess their lives mean less. Innocent US residents being caged or deported to foreign nations don't matter either, I guess.
Tom Morello (@tmorello) says he didn't vote for Kamala Harris in 2024.
"I saw how the corporate Democrat sausage is made. It is worse than you think. And there is a righteous fury at the corporate-controlled, money-controlled electoral system we have that is absolutely illegitimate. And people cannot choke down voting for a candidate, I understand it, cannot choke down voting for a candidate that's responsible for what happened in Gaza. And they just, they can't do it."
