If you're wondering whatever happened to the moderate bloc of House Republicans, the bluest Republican-held district in the country voted for Trump by 9 points in 2024 and will be represented by Paul LePage: teapawt.net/MattGlassman312/status…
Reminder: when a majority party in the House gets crushed in an election, the resulting caucus/conference becomes more extreme, not less. To wit:

This is must be what 2010 and 1994 feels like for Republican!

a towering figure, and peculiar connection with Tianjin and China
Mike Mansfield, U.S. Congressman (D-MT) from 1943 to 1953; U.S. Senator (D-MT) from 1953 to 1977; and U.S. Ambassador to Japan from 1977 to 1988 dies in Washington, DC. He was 98. At age 14, after achieving only a middle school education, Mansfield enlisted in WWI and served in the US Navy throughout the war, and then he served in the Army and Marines until 1922, when he retired from military service aged 19. He married his wife, Maureen, in 1932, and they remained married for 68 years until her death last year.

on the possibility that some LV screens are too tight and thus too Dem
NEW: I noticed something in a couple of recent polls that gave me some caution against a few of the more bullish results for Democrats, and how the definition of the likely voter can have a significant impact on the final outcome of the poll. LINK: electioncord.com/the-likely-…

BC's graduated members of Congress, ambassadors, actors, athletes, countless execs and CEOs, but it has forever stuck with me that at my freshman orientation, they gave us an extensive presentation on Welles and told us in no uncertain terms that he's the alum BC is most proud of
Welles Crowther is a hero. A @BCEagles graduate. A son, a brother & friend. At 24, he saved over a dozen lives on 9/11. And he’s known as the “Man in the Red Bandana”. This story is a must watch every year. May Welles’ memory continue to be a blessing.

Trump would have been far better served if he had actually talked to Democrats. They’re the only ones with experience at midterm conventions—and the bruises to show for it. @georgecondon with the White House File (unlocked): buff.ly/wNxM0oF

This article should be required reading for US policymakers on China.
Grateful to have this out in @IntSecHarvard. @jessicacweiss and I show how Cold War analogies obscure more than they reveal about US-China relations. 1/6

It was so fun chatting about @POPMARTGlobal and Labubu with @wstv_lizzi .
How did #Labubu take the world by storm? In our new #CenterforChinaAnalysis series, @wstv_lizzi & @ivylala unpack the psychology behind its appeal, @POPMARTGlobal’s growth strategy, the risks ahead, and lessons for both Chinese firms going global & U.S. businesses facing #China.

FWIW, Hakeem Jeffries moved into 4th place in all-time speaker votes today. If I did my math right, the 4109th vote was cast by Steven Horsford

RIP to Jimmy Carter. Its been 51 years since the last democratic president died in 1973.
“The only Georgian ever elected to the White House, Carter left office after a single term that was highlighted by forging peace between Israel and Egypt, but was overshadowed by the Iran hostage crisis. In the decades after, his reputation grew…” ajc.com/news/former-us-presi…

Earlier last week I was on CGTN Radio Panel discussing the logic behind and potential roadmap for Trump 2.0 Cabinet. Very interesting discussion! radio.cgtn.com/podcast/news/…

Funny enough this is the first time in a century that a Democratic presidential candidate picked a Governor as running mate.

Before Walz, Dem had picked 7 senators as veep in a roll Harris-Kaine-Biden-Edwards-Liberman-Gore-Bentsen The streak predates the Hail Mary of Ferraro Mondale-Eagleton(Shriver)-Muskie-Humphrey-LBJ-Keafuer-Sparkman-Barkley-Truman
