One thing Ossoff is showing that you can hold pretty normie Dem positions but still campaign like you can read the room and understand the high stakes of this election. People are incredulous and angry at what’s happening, maybe common ground is a necessity later but nobody wants to hear that now.
The only meeting Hakeem Jeffries should be having with Jared Kushner is to tell him he’ll be subpoenaed by the House for a corruption investigation on day one of Democratic control of the House. This is just pathetic stuff from the House Dem leader. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/23/u...
