“I moved here for a better life.” I see. It must be pretty bad in your country huh? “Oh no, it’s better than yours and I’m a better person than you.”

Hate all you want but if DeSantis hires Spencer Pratt to run his digital campaign it’s a whole new ballgame

No it’s not

This scapegoating ethno-fetishism on the Right in the aftermath of the midterms is repugnant. It reflects an intellectual weakness at odds with American ideals, dressed up as political sophistication. Demographics weren't destiny in 2024, but now that the GOP took some massive Ls, apparently monocausal explanations for what are really a whole host of policy failures are once again in vogue. Human action cannot be reduced to geography and blood; neither offers a sufficient basis for understanding politics or making political decisions. Reducing politics to these forces amounts to embracing Machiavellian means for Darwinian ends.

Victory! To the people of #TX32: THANK YOU for putting your trust in me to be your next Congressman! Ours was one of only a handful of Republican pickups on a tough night across the country. That is a testament to the dedication and the incredibly hard work our volunteers and supporters put in on this campaign. My mission in Washington is to continue to earn your trust and make you proud. This victory belongs to you! Yours in the fight, Jace.

Folks, Greg Abbott did this to himself. He begged the tech companies to come to Texas, and he had them bring their H1b employees, most of which are from India. 70 to 80 percent vote democrat. He pleased big business and got himself voted out. Did you ever wonder why the US Border Patrol was not mass deporting illegal aliens out of Houston or Dallas wholesale? His chickens have come home to roost.

Take risks, build things that matter, and invest in good people who want to do great things. Stop orchestrating salon dinners, stop throwing happy hours, holding another speaker series won’t save the West. Do things that matter. Think bigger and bolder.

New York is a vibrant city. It just is. Whatever its problems, there are few cities that have the dynamism and energy of NYC.

There’s a pretty high likelihood that a Supreme Court seat opens up in the next two years/before the 2028 presidential election. Haven’t seen many people mention this, but it’s one of the most compelling reasons to keep the Senate under Republican control.

Over my nearly three decades in the Army, the biggest career killer I’ve seen is alcohol. One of my best got caught up in an alcohol-related incident this weekend and has a lot to lose. Unfortunately, he is now in a non-negotiable situation and going to get crushed. I’m not against having a good time and drinking, but the earlier in life you figure out that drinking is like walking a tightrope, the better off you’ll be.

Breaking and very sad news -- Sen. Chris Murphy is hospitalized following a stroke, an aide to the Connecticut Democrat confirmed Sunday. His staff began notifying people Saturday afternoon of the hospitalization and stroke, a person told POLITICO at the time. “Yesterday afternoon, Senator Murphy started experiencing numbness in his arm while at his son’s hockey game. He was taken to a local hospital, where it was discovered he had experienced a stroke,” Allison Herwitt, Murphy’s chief of staff, said in a statement. “He was transferred to Johns Hopkins for further monitoring and is responding well to treatment. The doctors are encouraged by his progress, he is awake and alert, and we are optimistic he will make a full recovery,” she added. Murphy, who is viewed as a potential 2028 White House candidate, has been traveling the country to campaign for candidates, including recent stops in Michigan, Minnesota and Florida. He had been previously scheduled to attend campaign events in New Hampshire on Sunday. more w/ @jordainc politico.com/news/2026/11/01…
