There’s a sermon in Mississippi and a testimony in Senator-Elect @scott_colom spending his life successfully climbing one mountain and being unfairly denied. And then turning around and finding a taller one to summit. Rejection really can be redirection and you never know how today’s failures sow tomorrow’s wins.

Just got a haircut and the woman at the Thai place on 16th called me pretty twice so this trip to Denver is already worth it

An unsaid dynamic in the Majority Leader discussion is that the Black meme pages on Facebook/IG are anti-Israel, anti-AIPAC and have been organizing, messaging against both Schumer and Jeffries online for months.

Packing for my flight to Denver and reminded of the 2024 convention. And the high hopes during BRAT Summer and how it felt having all those Democrats together and excited about the future. I’m hopeful that this time, the solidarity and vision seeking lasts longer than a season.

It’s wild how the crowd reacts to Elizabeth Warren just walking through the back area for Popular Mandate.

If you’ve already added your materials to the various resume banks AND updated your website, LinkedIn with professional cycle highlights AND created a few posts, pinned material for your socials then you’re on pace for this week.

Next up is the impulse to network. Don’t spam folks with messages and cover lots of ground. Big mistake. What do YOU want to be doing in the 2032 presidential cycle? Great. Who will get that job equivalent in 2028? Cool. What job did they have at your point in their career? DM and ask how they got there.

This insight from @jamestalarico shows why he won in a big way: "I think it would be a mistake to interpret this election result in TX as a shift in the partisanship of the state."

The fattest, slowest rats live in DC. Is there a reason we can’t release cats? Are there no owls? Why are these rats so comfortable moving slow on the sidewalk with humans?

As someone who used to get my hair cut for free by the Christian women down at Bob Jones University, the idea Greenville County voted Blue still shocks me. Just a totally different world.

The big problem is how do you find talent and hire for 2028 (without relying on a super small circle) while also avoiding announcing early or getting media attention before you’re ready to formally launch or mobilize. Having an affiliated group collect resumes for you is smart.

Also, the group itself gains first look advantage at the existing talent pool and power over a distribution to other candidates and, presumably, the folks submitting resumes are joining the email list when they submit so it’s growing the file. Great strategy overall.
