Anyway, it remains an effective attack for Rs because there are enough Ds who’ll get annoyed by this and say we should still defund police (like Cori Bush) to create more news cycles/infighting. — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

There *are* Dems in some places who cut police funding in 2020, but the federal Dem position (which drives activists crazy and feels like a betrayal) is to turn on the money gusher for cops. https://t.co/ibzRy6mUmV — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

One example in Wisconsin, where I am now: Gov. Evers vetoed a 2021 bill that would have punished counties if they defunded police. That got reconstituted in ads as Evers giving those counties the “green light” to defund police, which they haven’t been doing. — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

This is driving Dems crazy in a bunch of races; they talk about ARP funding or state budgets increasing law enforcement funding, and ads just keep claiming they defunded police. — PolitiTweet.org

Biden signed a day one executive order giving every federal agency an “equity” mission, so if a judge finds this convincing, probably a few implications. — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

This is what happened w the black farmer relief in ARP; white farmers sued, courts blocked the relief. Student debt relief isn’t targeted by race, though; argument is based on admin statements about how it would advance “racial equity.” https://t.co/fNx53b000F — PolitiTweet.org

There’s some pro-Barnes IE spending (Everytown) hitting Johnson for Rs not wanting to spend more on law enforcement but nothing like this Fetterman ad. https://t.co/vs2L8iv7nK — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

Barnes and Fetterman differed in their responses to the crime ads. Fetterman was up right away with ads defending his crime record; Barnes, who didn’t have the same resources, tried to pivot to issues where Johnson was weaker. — PolitiTweet.org

For years, Newsweek would assign a few reporters to stories that wouldn’t be published until the election is over, with embargoed facts from inside the campaigns. Was always controversial, ended before 2016/Trump. https://t.co/7zQ9WJyZSO — PolitiTweet.org
