So incredibly proud of one of my closest friends for running an incredible race. He went against a Republican with way more money behind her in a red district and nearly flipped it. The best is yet to come for this man in politics.
Tonight, I called Senator Calatayud and congratulated her on a hard-fought race. I wish her and her family well.
I got into this race because of my four year old son, Leonardo, and for every family in our community struggling to make it. Families paying more every year for insurance, for rent, for groceries, for electricity, and wondering if they can afford to stay in the place they call home.
So much of what is wrong with our state is self-inflicted. Insurance that costs more every year. Housing that's out of reach for the people who keep this place running. So much of it doesn't have to be this way. That was true when I started this campaign, and it's still true tonight.
We came up short, but we came within the margins in a district almost no one thought we could compete in, while being outspent many times over.
That happened because of the best campaign team I could have asked for. We were small but hella mighty.
Thank you to every volunteer who knocked doors in the rain and stood outside polling places from seven in the morning. To the neighbors who made calls and drove each other to vote. To the supporters who gave what they could. And to the voters who took a chance on a business owner with a funny last name.
To the love of my life, Martina, to Leonardo, and to my family: thank you for carrying me through this. I love you.
And to everyone in this district, whether you voted for me or not: thank you. The fight for a Miami we can afford doesn't end tonight. I'm not going anywhere.
As I've said all along — let's get after it.

Obama tonight on his Cheesecake Factory line: "They mobilized a whole of government response to that joke. Not to inflation, but to that joke. The White House even called the Secretary of the Treasury. This is the man who is in charge of the economy. The person who's supposed to be figuring out how to make your life more affordable. The guy who's supposed to be figuring out how to lower inflation. And reduce interest rates. They told him he should hold a press conference in front of the Cheesecake Factory."

This USC loss is horrible but this team barely escaped really, really bad Rutgers and Washington teams. This team isn’t good enough and it’s put that on tape for a minute now.
Fills will me so much happiness to hear @albamonica press Trump on such an important issue. Got to share the anchor desk with Monica in college, and she's truly one of the best (and one of the kindest people you'll meet).
YIKES 😳 Trump snaps at a reporter asking him about why he's dismissing sexual abuse allegations 👇
WOMAN REPORTER: Do the sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir?
TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with?
REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sexual abuse allegations
TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

This entire exchange with @kaitlancollins is bananas….guy is deranged
Trump: We were in the midst of negotiating and a lot of stupid people said why aren’t you putting Russian sanctions—
Collins: But you said you didn’t give anything for his release
Trump: If I didn’t do that, you wouldn’t have him coming back.
Collins: So you did give something.
Trump: You don’t know anything. You’re fake news CNN.
Collins: You’re saying you lifted the sanctions in exchange for his release?
Trump: You don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re a low IQ person. You’re a dummy.
Public Speaking 101: Don't look down if you're trying to exhibit confidence in what you're saying

The crowd starts to applaud as Trump fantasizes about LA and San Diego being wiped out by a nuclear attack. WTF. This is not normal.
Which boosters are coming up with the 100 mil in buyout for Lincoln and his assistants? Because there’s no way former Washington AD Jen Cohen watches this game and keeps Riley if the result holds.

Ten years ago today, Vin Scully signed off the @Dodgers airwaves for the final time.
“You and I have been friends for a long time, but I know in my heart that I’ve always needed you more than you’ve ever needed me.”

A good organization would have researched if there was anything more to Braiden Bell's tweets.
If there were not, it would let him apologize for insensitive tweets as a 15-year-old and let him keep the job.
The Trail Blazers do not appear to be a good organization.
Same fella being brought up as a possible VP candidate for Vance. Fits right in with a lack of intelligence.
Pretty big apparent misfire from GOP Sen. Eric Schmitt at today's Jack Smith hearing.
Schmitt basically constructed a conspiracy theory about how Jack Smith was in Atlanta when Fani Willis's affair was revealed, saying Smith had attended an Atlanta Hawks game.
Smith had no idea what he was talking about.
After the text messages Schmitt's theory was based on were shown, Smith said it was a game between the U of Maryland and Iowa HAWKeyes -- in Maryland -- not the Atlanta HAWKS.
