.@petebuttigieg in New Hampshire: “We demand higher wages. They say, ‘Let’s do a gilded ballroom.’ We demand lower prices. Best they can do is give out Tom Cotton’s cell phone number.”

Wow what a fucking idiot
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."

Oh the usual suspects On Here are already performing indignation about benign statements from Jon Ossoff hmm
Jon Ossoff chats with longtime morning radio host Frank Ski: I spoke to a group of young people yesterday and some of them told me they were feeling despair. And I was very blunt with them that despair is an indulgence. Despair is a luxury that we can't afford.

This “$5,000” thing is fooling no one. But it has made one thing clear: Republican desperation at the 1-month-out mark.

Former Transportation Secy. @PeteButtigieg says Republicans have not managed to "drain the swamp," but instead made it the "swampiest" it has ever been and that "the only thing they've managed to drain so far is that reflecting pool."

Pete and Trump had dueling rallies today. It’s like a dispatch from an alternate universe
Trump: Remember, Boot Edge Edge, he would drive his bike to work? They take a bike to work all the time down the highway

NEW: Eric Schmitt’s general counsel Ethan Harper was expected to join the White House Staff Secretary’s office next week but the move’s now in doubt after yesterday’s Jack Smith hearing. Harper was the one holding up the board behind Schmitt. politico.com/newsletters/wes…

🤡 Eric Schmitt beclowns himself during Jack Smith hearing 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atlanta to go to a Hawks game and collude with Fani Willis, and briefly displayed his "evidence" on a poster board before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- Schmitt's facts were totally wrong. Smith was actually in Maryland at a Hawkeyes (not a Hawks) game and never met Willis. As Klobuchar told him, "You have your teams wrong." Here's the whole deeply embarrassing sequence:

U.S. manufacturing jobs are down under Trump, including in the auto industry. His strategy failed, and so will this. Lowering standards will accelerate what he has already been doing: handing the clean tech future to China and forcing Americans to pay more at the pump.

America has great thinkers and great politicians, but not many who are both. Nobody out there’s doing it like Pete.
Pete Buttigieg gave an excellent speech on the First Amendment in New Hampshire this week. Here’s a chunk of the intro:

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you yet on your weird engagement farming. We’re currently in Springfield doing a Bulwark show to raise money to support the Haitian community (we raised over 200k!). But you enjoy your Friday tweeting.
The thing is, @SamSeder is correct. You literally used your media outlet to try to turn the election into a referendum on Hasan Piker. Own it, and maybe apologize for it.
