Great drop for Steyer in San Diego, netting a 17-point gain over Hilton. Despite weaker performance in Southern California overall, he is holding up in urban counties like Los Angeles and San Diego.

Maine voter asked about Platner: "Probing into the minutiae of his personal relationships when you don't do that for any other candidate is ridiculous."
The amount of energy & attention the NYC media have spent on tweets vs a Congressman's mysteriously funded Super PAC support (hint he's endorsed by AIPAC), his record funding ICE & taking money from ICE contractors, or idk even the alleged Kingsbridge Armory bribes? Truly absurd.
New: Darializa Avila Chevalier, the Mamdani-backed democratic socialist challenging Rep. Adriano Espaillat, suggested in a since-deleted tweet that the U.S. shared at least some blame for Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine — echoing a Putin talking point.

Ex-Israeli UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan addresses Mayor Zohran Mamdani:
“We survived Amalek, we survived Hamas, we defeated Iran, we overcame Pharaoh — we will overcome Zohran Mamdani as well.”
His comments came at an event at Park East Synagogue on the day of the Israel Parade:
Here’s a clip with the full quote: “This race will define that this city belongs to the working women and the working men of New York City — not people that fly in from other states or from other parts of the world to try to impose their failed ideology.”
“Those that choose or want to parachute in, after the men and women of this city, the working men and women of the city, have built our neighborhood. We're gonna send them back home packing wherever they came from,” Espaillat says
Re “other parts of the world:” worth noting Espaillat is the first formerly undocumented immigrant elected to the House and the chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. Avila Chevalier, like Espaillat, is Dominican, though primarily raised in Florida
The Democratic Party's Tea Party moment has begun. By the time that it's over, whatever remains of the Democratic establishment will be wishing that they had embraced Graham Platner's politics instead of fighting them. ettingermentum.news/p/the-democrat…
🚨BREAKING: Iranian Ballistic Missiles Are Being Fired At US Bases In Kuwait
This comes in response to a series of US strikes on military sites in southern Iran. Fighter jets also over Iraq now.
Platner recognizes his mother in the crowd, who's loved him "when it hasn't been easiest." He recognizes his wife Amy; standing ovation and chants of "A-my! A-my!"
"Just so everyone knows, Amy is an introvert and she hated every second of that."
For all the people defending Platner on the grounds that one of his accusers is a conservative operative, what are we supposed to make of the fact that Jenny Racicot, a Maine Democrat, says on the record to the NYT, "This person does not respect women.”

Do voters care about Graham Platner’s sexting scandal, his exes calling him toxic & volatile, or the Nazi symbol he had on his chest?
These voters in Maine said NO.
Some of them don’t believe it.
Others say people change. @FoxNews
1. She’s talking about “DC’s culture for women” when her *job* was smearing Christine Blasey Ford so that Susan Collins would vote to confirm Kavanaugh.
2. Platner was the guy who threw the violent staffer out of the bar.
“He’s the best candidate by far. And probing into the minutia of his personal relationships when you don't do that for any other candidate is ridiculous”
It's funny to imagine Neera Tanden workshopping this in the group chat with all the Clintonistas and this is the best they could come up with x.com/neeratanden/st…
People who create Israel conspiracies around a Maine Senate race are no different in their antisemitism than Republicans who blame Jewish space lasers for the weather.
💢 A key U.S. command center that directed American air operations across the Middle East for more than two decades was severely damaged by Iranian missile strikes shortly after the war began, according to Air & Space Forces Magazine.
The report says multiple Iranian missiles struck the Combined Air Operations Center (CAOC) at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, rendering the facility inoperable. U.S. officials said the center had already been evacuated, with operations shifted to Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina in anticipation of an attack.
The damage had not previously been disclosed. The CAOC had coordinated major U.S. air campaigns in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen, and officials are now reportedly questioning whether such large above-ground command facilities remain viable in a future conflict with Iran
NEW: The main U.S. air war command center in the Middle East suffered a direct hit soon after the war with Iran began and was severely damaged, sources tell Air & Space Forces Magazine. The Combined Air Operations Center at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar was hit by Iranian missiles.
“That to me is the biggest difference between the Platner situation and the Trump situation. One person says, yeah, that's wrong. I need to do better. The other person is like, what are you talking about? That's not that bad”
🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 CENTCOM says U.S. forces shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones over the Strait of Hormuz before carrying out strikes on Iranian radar sites.
🔹According to the U.S. military, the drones were “launched toward the Strait of Hormuz” and posed “an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic.”
🔹CENTCOM said it subsequently struck Iranian coastal surveillance radar installations in Goruk and on Qeshm Island “to defend against further attacks.”
🔹Iran has not yet publicly responded to the latest U.S. claims. The exchange reflects the ongoing contest for control over the world’s most critical oil chokepoint. Iran has demanded that all commercial vessels must coordinate passage through the Strait with Iranian authorities, asserting joint sovereignty over the waterway with Oman.
▪️The New York Times reported last week that U.S. forces had been coordinating the transit of roughly commercial ships through the Strait (over 70 in a three-week period) — an operation Iran views as a direct challenge to its authority.
Moments ago, CENTCOM forces shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones that were launched toward the Strait of Hormuz. The attack drones posed an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic. U.S. forces subsequently struck Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Goruk and
