This was unlikely from a straight funding standpoint. Shri dumped millions in here and had incumbency. Big money still matters but it's never mattered less than this year.

Wishing a peaceful Tisha B’Av to Jewish New Yorkers across the five boroughs. From sundown tonight until tomorrow, mourners will pause and reflect on the history and resiliency of the Jewish people. May all observing have a safe and meaningful fast.
I feel like it’s a good feel-good moment having Trump reminded that everyone hates him.
In November, Mainers will defeat Susan Collins, and we will take back our Senate seat from the billionaires and corporations who think they own it.
Here's a story on Troy Jackson crushing the county delegate caucuses this weekend, and becoming the presumptive nominee to take on Susan Collins for the Maine Senate seat. Being able to organize that quickly signals good momentum for November, and he'll need that. prospect.org/2026/07/19/j...

I can't breathe the air, I can't eat lettuce, I can't afford gas, and my kids have measles. But at least now our soldiers will have enough testosterone.
