See my discussion of the race for the chair, earlier today, here.

ADDED: Here's the NYT article on the subject, "Democrats Elect Ken Martin, a Party Insider, to Lead the D.N.C./The Democratic National Committee chose Mr. Martin, the leader of the Minnesota Democrats, to help oversee a demoralized national party split over its future and its response to President Trump."

The delightful subjectivity of money in politics.

Funny that she has never said a word about Soros, who has cumulatively put a hundred times more money into elections than I have 🤔

If I can figure out 🚀science with SpaceX and 🧠 surgery with Neuralink, then maybe I can figure out politics too 🤷‍♂️ https://t.co/cW9sKHGgs3

"It’s hard to stick with the muse, that’s for sure, and not be a caricature of your past. You’re always struggling to outdo what you did before. I don’t think he thinks that way at all."

Said Jesse Dylan about his father, quoted in "Jesse Dylan: The Sixties? Dad and I would rather talk about Dante/The film-maker talks about his George Soros documentary, the super-rich — and being Bob’s son" (London Times).

And: "He’s not a nostalgic person, he’s always looking forward to the next thing... We probably spend more time on Milton or Shakespeare or Dante." Neither of them does social media, we're told

About Soros, Jesse says: “The thing that surprised me the most about him is that you can change his mind... I’ve worked with a lot of very, very wealthy people — you cannot change their minds. It might as well be written in cement. Because they were successful in one place, they think they’ll be the same success everywhere. What’s unique about George is that he doesn’t know the answer. He sits with people and talks with them, to try to understand.”
