At some point, we have to talk about @CookPolitical and other “prognosticators” who had me and other southern candidates labeled as solid R for much of the campaign cycle. They made it much more difficult to fundraise and are part of the reason the South has been neglected for so long. They’re only a reflection of the past and mysteriously avoid any accountability when they’re wrong. One of their “analysts” was extremely condescending to me (not Jessica) when I tried to make my pitch for why they were wrong about my rating like he knew something about MS politics when he’s never been to the Sip. This attitude hurt Jaime Davis & others so much.

Tens of thousands of people who "bothered trying to file paperwork" are currently being held in immigration detention indefinitely without bond for the crime of ... showing up to their scheduled hearings

@BarnettforAZ7h
If you have been here for 20 years and haven’t even bothered trying to file paperwork to stay here legally I don’t think you should be allowed to be here at all. You should be immediately removed. You have shown no interest in assimilating.

This is entirely his fault for firing anyone who criticized the admin from the war colleges

Hegseth, speaking at the Naval War College: "One of the most alarming findings of our comprehensive review was that our war colleges actively avoid the rigorous study of recent American strategic failures. Faculty dismissed them as sore subjects or politically sensitive topics."

When I went to cancel my monthly autoship this is what a Chewy rep said. Honestly this makes it even worse bc if they had no relationship with the podcast why did they feel the need to make a statement at all?

I would love to work as little as the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court is apparently in no rush to fill out the rest of its 2026 docket. The first order list in weeks contains three GVRs and no new merits grants.

Sen. Heinrich, who endorsed contra Schumer/DSCC in some Senate races, says he wants to talk to new Dem senators before commenting on Dem leadership for next Congress "I'm looking forward to meeting all my colleagues and new colleagues. I think we should listen to the perspectives they bring. That said, he just was very successful in this electoral environment" Asked if Schumer has his support, Heinrich told me: “I don't want to prejudge that, just so that I can have those conversations with our new members”

New in @playbookdc: Then-President Joe Biden in 2024 forgot that Bob Dole, his longtime Senate colleague, had died three years before, @jaketapper and @AlexThomp report in their new edition of “Original Sin,” out tomorrow. On another occasion he seemed to think Beau was still alive.
