Enough Dems appear to now get it-- it's not about moderate or progressive. Irrelevant, destructive terms. It's about dynamic candidates who can communicate well, good fit-represent their electorates & speak to their needs w/ solutions. NYC will look different than ME-2 or VA. And that's ok!

Fox News poll out with Trump at 41% approve, 58% disapprove. Third really bad credible poll for him today. He's firmly in Biden territory now. Ballrooms, lashing at reporters, obfuscating Epstein files, rising prices, splintering base eager for their own rise. All seem to be trending beyond sight.

In the latest poll, Democrats lead Republicans 55%-41% when people were asked who they would vote for in their district if the election for Congress were held today.
It's the largest Democratic advantage in the Marist poll since November 2017.

Guessing— Senate will not pass it or he’ll veto it, or maybe most likely Bondi will say active investigation so they can’t be released or redact so it can not be read to “protect” those mentioned but not charged. Hard not to see how any of those will not blow back and make it worse.
