Political scientists love to say, don’t draw lessons from the Virginia governor’s race, and then every midterm it’s like huge lessons should’ve been drawn from the results in the Virginia governor’s race.

Scott Colom purchased The Power Broker in 2008, kept it on the shelf for seven years and then took six months to finish it. Extremely relatable.

👀 AOC was distracted dealing with Haley Stevens drama that she left in her hair gloss too long, turning her hair black AOC spoke with Stevens for 25 minutes working to convince her not to flip on El Sayed, as @playbookdc reported

Gallego: We actually had to call up some of our friends that we put up as sacrificial lambs and tell them that they won. And one of them remarked, what are you talking about, that was not the plan. Well, it is now.

At that same time, Jackson was running a prolific anonymous account in the Bangor Daily News comment section called "Canadians for LePage." (One of my favorite @KFILE and @emsteck stories of the cycle.) cnn.com/2026/07/30/politics/…

Troy Jackson ran anonymous account to troll Republicans online | CNN Politics

In 2012, Troy Jackson had plenty to say about Maine politics. An outspoken Democratic state lawmaker, Jackson openly feuded with then-Republican Gov. Paul LePage.

2013 LePage: "Sen. Jackson claims to be for the people but he's the first one to give it to the people without providing Vaseline ... This man is a bad person. He doesn't only have no brains, he has a black heart." Those Troy Jackson/Paul LePage flights into DC are going to be something... wmtw.com/article/vaseline-co…

Is it irony or is it hypocrisy

There’s a real irony in Republicans hoping that the late mail votes in Mississippi will rescue Cindy Hyde-Smith — just months after the RNC sued to void Mississippi’s ability to count late-arriving votes and lost at SCOTUS, 5-4.
