Republicans choose the next governor and senator in Utah, and tense Democratic primaries between left and center will shape the Colorado and New York legislatures. ✂️ On the menu: Progressives and moderates face off in a long series of Democratic primaries for seats in the Colorado and New York legislatures. Democrats have comfortable majorities in each, but just what they do with their power hinges on the strength of these factions. Similar tensions have spilled over in other arenas like U.S. Representative Jamaal Bowman’s reelection bid, and the Albany DA race. Republicans also face stark ideological choices. The GOP chooses its Senate nominee in Utah, where a Trump-endorsee faces an opponent more aligned with the retiring incumbent, Mitt Romney. And Colorado Republicans decide whether they want to send Lauren Boebert back to Congress and if Dave Williams, the far-right leader of the state GOP, should join her. === x Today, Colorado GOP voters will decide whether to let Lauren Boebert continue flailing at political theater or send her back to her natural calling of performing arts. — Jack E. Smith ⚖️ (@7Veritas4) June 25, 2024 Today, Colorado GOP voters will decide whether to let Lauren Boebert continue flailing at political theater or send her back to her natural calling of performing arts. === Why am I not surprised? x Elise Stefanik is rising in the Trump VP rankings. She's been running the most vicious little oppo-dump campaigns to Trump world against her competition while keeping her public "Trump's ass smells like rainbows and sandalwood" patter running a hundred miles a minute. — Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) June 25, 2024 Elise Stefanik is rising in the Trump VP rankings. She's been running the most vicious little oppo-dump campaigns to Trump world against her competition while keeping her public "Trump's ass smells like rainbows and sandalwood" patter running a hundred miles a minute. === x In new reports, the nonpartisan Office of Congressional Ethics says "there is substantial reason to believe" that Texas Republicans Ronny Jackson and Wesley Hunt "converted campaign funds" for personal use at social clubs. — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) June 25, 2024 In new reports, the nonpartisan Office of Congressional Ethics says "there is substantial reason to believe" that Texas Republicans Ronny Jackson and Wesley Hunt "converted campaign funds" for personal use at social clubs. === x Lot of alcohol on that Ronny tab. pic.twitter.com/OKRcifcwvO — Ron Filipkowski (@RonFilipkowski) June 25, 2024 Lot of alcohol on that Ronny tab. === Trump's underwhelming business support. www.axios.com/… There are zero Fortune 100 CEOs — a group that historically leans Republican — that have donated to former President Trump this election cycle, according to data compiled by Yale's Jeffrey Sonnenfeld. Why it matters: It's very easy to overstate how much America's business establishment supports Donald Trump. Just because corporate America has serious issues with Joe Biden doesn't mean they are in Trump's camp. === x If this debate format doesn’t allow Trump to repeat content from his campaign platform that he discusses weekly at his rallies & on Fox - electric boats, windmills, sharks, whales, Hannibal Lecter, female weightlifters, Al Capone, prisons in Congo, etc, it will really be unfair. — Ron Filipkowski (@RonFilipkowski) June 25, 2024 If this debate format doesn’t allow Trump to repeat content from his campaign platform that he discusses weekly at his rallies & on Fox - electric boats, windmills, sharks, whales, Hannibal Lecter, female weightlifters, Al Capone, prisons in Congo, etc, it will really be unfair. === They know it's gonna be bad. x “Boo-hoo Jake Tapper is so mean. Boo-hoo Biden needs a drug test. Boo-hoo CNN isn’t fair” Absolutely zero confidence from MAGA ahead of the debate, but tons of complaining. — Peter Henlein (@SwissWatchGuy) June 24, 2024 “Boo-hoo Jake Tapper is so mean. Boo-hoo Biden needs a drug test. Boo-hoo CNN isn’t fair” Absolutely zero confidence from MAGA ahead of the debate, but tons of complaining. === Even Moses MiQe is getting in on the grift act. Speaker Johnson wants to lower the debate bar for Trump. www.msnbc.com/… Speaker Mike Johnson, the highest-ranking Republican in government, has been leaning hard into former President Donald Trump’s embrace lately. Naturally, that boosting extends to blatant spin ahead of Thursday’s presidential debate. “I expect everybody will be watching,” Johnson told Tony Perkins, president of the archconservative Family Research Council, on the latter’s new show, “This Week on the Hill.” (Johnson appears on every episode of the recently launched show.) “I also expect that CNN is going to rig it as much as possible and make it as favorable as they possibly can for President [Joe] Biden, but I don’t think it’s going to work.” As obvious as that spin is, it also suggests a lack of confidence in the GOP’s standard-bearer. My questions are, Why does Tony Perkins have a new show, "This Week on the Hill" and why is Moses MiQe on every episode? === x What's amazing to me about this graphic is that Trump's tax cuts for the rich cost more than the Infrastructure bill, Inflation Reduction Act, American Rescue Plan, CHIPs, PACT, student debt forgiveness, and funding the IRS COMBINED. pic.twitter.com/Lek1L8EwkP — Mueller, She Wrote (@MuellerSheWrote) June 25, 2024 What's amazing to me about this graphic is that Trump's tax cuts for the rich cost more than the Infrastructure bill, Inflation Reduction Act, American Rescue Plan, CHIPs, PACT, student debt forgiveness, and funding the IRS COMBINED. === New ad from The Lincoln Project, reminding Republicans what their party used to stand for. x Character, family, law and order - Donald Trump is a rot eroding the values that the GOP once embodied. This November, the only way to save America is to break from the Republican Party and vote against him. pic.twitter.com/7iOnvHkmd4 — The Lincoln Project (@ProjectLincoln) June 25, 2024 Character, family, law and order - Donald Trump is a rot eroding the values that the GOP once embodied. This November, the only way to save America is to break from the Republican Party and vote against him. === In news you may have missed: Fascinating lunar research: “In a global first, China’s Chang’e 6 probe returned to Earth on Tuesday with rock and soil samples from the little-explored far side of the moon. ... While past U.S. and Soviet missions have collected samples from the moon’s near side, the Chinese mission was the first to collect samples from the far side.” www.msnbc.com/... I gots to: x x YouTube Video === Evening Shade Seeker! Happy National Leon Day! National Leon Day marks June 25 as six months away from Christmas day.
