I flaked on more commitments than I have in years this week, and I want to make a PSA out of this: Call people on the phone. You would not believe how many professional international TV networks toss you an email and donā€™t go any further. Okay, let me find that email below the 200 pitches that came in right after. I am finding DM requests with no follow up from three days ago. Guess what ā€” I had a lot of DMs on Tuesday! Call the personā€™s phone.

the amount of political consultants at the end of the campaign who are actually bored and not doing much is way more than you'd think

RIP to an actual legend, Mark Gersh. What a legacy. May his memory be a blessing.

Most on this site probably haven't heard of Mark Gersh, but I worked for him for 18 years, starting as a soph in college. He was a pioneer in political data/targeting, and that industry wouldn't be where it is without the foundation he built. He passed away today. Rest in peace.

Ed Sheeran speaks out after Macklemore was dropped from his tour for speaking out for Palestine: ā€œI am not complicit. I have my personal views on this devastating conflict. Just because I choose not to speak publicly, it doesn't mean I don't have them, and it doesn't mean I don't care. Nor does it mean I don't support causes in my own, personal way.ā€

Lawler remains obsessed with being a pundit and an operative ā€” not serving the people of his district

The fact that Mamdani is using a network of ā€œinfluencersā€ paid for by tax payers dollars to push propaganda in support of his agenda is something the should be stopped immediately. I said last year that if Zohran Mamdani were to become mayor of NYC, he would be the most political mayor in the history of New York City and would turn City Hall into a 24-hour campaign. That is exactly what he has done.
