Castellanos says something counterintuitive but I think true: “One bad campaign is better than 10 good ones.” When you run for office everybody you meet has a campaign plan for you–worse, they’re all good!

Is Harris actually producing the movie? She’s the star, but the movie seems like it’s being produced by … smart Dem politicos.

I’m hoping Vance did not mean abolishing the minimal work test on Child Tax Credit “refunds,” which would basically turn it into a massive welfare program, with all the dysfunctions a culture of welfare entails. That was Biden’s plan https://t.co/4RiCSpgO7X) https://t.co/agyJ5VlJeb
