This is a really, really good conversation between @jonfavs and @katz_morris on the mid terms, the evolution of the D Party the last decade, the internal battles raging today, and looking fwd. Worth a listen.
Never a bad time with @jonfavs (especially when you can pressure him into 2028 predictions, Obama stories, and name check the ops)

Shapiro: I think the national popular vote makes sense...I'll work with lawmakers to figure out what the right mechanism is for moving forward on that. But look, we're the ultimate swing state in Pennsylvania...I think Pennsylvania can still play a massive role even in a national popular vote.

Granted it’s my first Crooked Con, but I don’t think I’ve seen this much libbing out since the Obama years

.@jonfavs: Would you restrict weapons sales at all [to Israel]? Shapiro: America sells weapons to lots of countries...and should those nations violate the terms of the sales, they would no longer be permitted to purchase those weapons. I think Israel should be treated as other nations are.

.@brhodes: The Democratic Party has to be the anti-war party. The Democratic Party has to be the party that's going to stop spending $1 trillion in defense. And stop bombing other people's children and start investing in our children.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari: One tool that we have is to hold people in criminal contempt of Congress, and that is no joke... There is no reason why people cannot and should not and will not eventually go to jail for the crimes that they are committing.
