NEW from me - In April, Sen. Raphael Warnock unintentionally made a room full of DC donors break out in laughter talking up the chance Scott Colom would win.
Now Colom is ahead as the counting comes close to ending. Here's the arc of how it happened:

Trump DOJ loses 3 presidentially appointed assistant attorneys generals & 4 other senior political appointees in just a few days. Every Admin sees turnover at midterm, but infighting, pressure to deliver on political cases, & concerns about Dem oversight are driving a significant number of officials to head for the exits. @CarolLeonnig @KDilanianMSNOW @caseyagannon & I report on what it means for the Department: ms.now/news/in-a-wave-of-doj…

Inside the CIA’s armed operations in Mexico:
The CIA enlisted a Chihuahua state prosecutor under investigation by the FBI for his suspected cartel ties. He embedded CIA officers with state police—and got his revoked U.S. visa back.
The CIA sought to build a Mexican special forces unit in Chihuahua state
CIA officers helped plan Mexican police deployments, and provided rifle cover during one raid.
Masked Americans joined a meth-lab raid. Two CIA officers later died in a cliffside crash, exposing the mission.

North Carolina Democrats will have an 11-3 D congressional delegation next year for a map that was drawn to elect 11 Republicans and 3 Democrats.

David French's point is sharper than a simple anti-MAGA scold. Republicans spent years selling young men a parody of manhood: Trump, Kid Rock, Russell Brand, Andrew Tate, swagger without character, dominance without virtue. Then men 18-44 moved sharply left in the House vote.
French argues young men do not actually want Biff Tannen as a role model. They want models of courage, discipline, competence, and decency. A movement built on grievance and peacocking mistook male frustration for moral permission. A lot of men chose differently.

"What was most revealing about the 60 Minutes interview was how openly Trump owned the hatred at the core of who he is. He seemed almost proud of its depth and intensity. More than any other force, even his narcissism, hate seems to drive him."

"I am always struck by how eagerly smart and wealthy people expound on subjects about which they know ittle—especially politics. Their success seems to foster in them a view that politics is easy, if only dim-witted officeholders would listen to them"

Alina Habba has been charged by NJ ethics officials over the way she brokered an illegal NDA with a Trump Bedminster employee.
It's a stunning allegation against a lawyer who was NJ's unlawful acting US attorney last year.

A brilliant look at how X captured Republicans and locked them in a toxic reality that proved to be their political undoing. @AdamSerwer also cites @jonathanchait’s prescient 2019 insight that Biden would win the 2020 Democratic nomination because he was the least online candidate.

I would say this is unreal, but at this point who can be shocked:
Reuters just found that a Chinese university with deep ties to the Chinese army successfully purchased Nvidia's H200 AI chips last month despite being on a US export blacklist.

COATES: One Fox News host called you a bigger threat to the GOP in 2028 than AOC
COLOM: I'm not trying to be a threat to anybody. I'm trying to focus on delivering for Mississippi. I'm not trying to get into national punditry, where we try to figure out, you know, who's this or who's that… I think we got too much celebrity in our politics. We got to get back to leadership that's rooted in serving people.
