    A Premature Farewell to the Ignominious Speaker Mike Johnson (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    If Democrats win the House in the midterms, as expected, Mike Johnson won’t hold the gavel in any meaningful way again. Is it too soon to say farewell to Speaker Mike Johnson? The Democrats are almost universally expected to win the House in November’s midterms, which would mean we’ve essentially seen the last of him in that role. Assuming these expectations are correct, there might even be debate over whether he gets the title of GOP minority leader. And while there will be a lame-duck session

    The Embarrassment of Trump’s Midterms Convention (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Many GOP candidates in competitive House and Senate races are steering clear of the Dallas event. “Why not Ken Paxton?” MSNOW’s Chris Jansing asked former Black Republican Dorthy Burton on Wednesday afternoon, a few hours before Donald Trump launched his ridiculous midterm extravaganza in Dallas, planned for Wednesday and Thursday. “Because he’s trash,” she shot back. “He is a disgrace.” Burton planned to cast her ballot in November’s hot Senate race for Democratic state Rep.

    Old and On the Way: How Ed Markey Dispatched Seth Moulton in Massachusetts (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Moulton, a centrist opportunist, sought to unseat his incumbent opponent by posturing as a young progressive. Voters didn’t fall for it. Massachusetts Representative Seth Moulton was the last 2020 Democratic presidential candidate to speak at the Iowa State Fair “political soapbox” in August 2019, and I got to see him there.

    Democratic Candidates Have Embraced Unity. Dem Pundits? Not So Much. (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Losing candidates have prioritized the big tent and embraced their former rivals. Why can’t the media and pundits get on board? Here’s the good news of this long, hard summer: In the real world of hard-fought Democratic primaries in 2026, all across the country candidates themselves are leading the way in promoting a big-tent anti-Trump party that embraces both the center and the left. There are many great examples of ambitious, popular, but ultimately losing candidates endorsing the winner in t

    Peggy Flanagan’s Many Crush the Money in the Minnesota Senate Primary (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Corporate Dem Angie Craig outspent Flanagan by roughly four to one. But Flanagan’s ground game, and her promise to “avenge Minnesota” after ICE’s cruelty, gave her a 20-point win. “When we work together, when we organize together, and when we fight together, we are unstoppable,” Minnesota Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan told an ecstatic crowd Tuesday night, after she crushed her centrist, crafty, monied opponent Representative Angie Craig. But there was no talk of crushing anybody Tuesday; sh
