Just saw Mike Lawler’s closing at — “Money Back in Our Pockets” on the screen. Telling that his message is the same as Abdul El-Sayed’s.

What am I watching closely today? Among the angles… Ohio & Iowa. The big vowel-to-consonant-ratio states with the short names have had similar trajectory. Obama and then moved solid red. How many of the 4 top-of ticket races — Sen & Gov in each — go blue? ‘28ers’ll watch.

For a million reasons, Dan Quinn has to go. But week after week of dumb penalties is high on the list.

If you're black, I have the easiest Halloween costume for you. Wrap an Israeli flag around you, and just start calling everyone you see an antisemite. Voila, you're @VanJones68.

Talarico was born in May 1989 — about six months after the last time a Democrat (Bentsen) won a Senate seat in Texas.

How Wikipedia Rewrote Zionism

Since October 2023, four-fifths of the encyclopedia’s article on Zionism has been replaced, and the historians it cites—Benny Morris among them—are misrepresented.

In August, I traveled across 8 swing districts along I-80. At the time 7 were rated pure tossups and one, NE-2, was Republican-held but leaning D, per Cook. Now, 6 of 7 are rated leaning D. NE-2 is likely D. Only Max Miller's OH-7 is tossup. Read all about it below -->

Dems haven't won yet, but they're fighting over how to use a measure of power. @GregCasar says he respects Schatz, but "For more than a decade, Democrats have been known primarily as the anti-Trump Party. If we take back Congress, we have to show we're more than anti-Trump."

.@SenBrianSchatz says that if Democrats take the Senate, the party's left wing needs to be strategic about not proposing things "that the president of the United States is guaranteed to veto." "If we want to be more aspirational, if we want to make more bold policy changes... that's for 2028."

EL-SAYED to TRUMP: I will go through a metal detector if you will sit for a lie detector. My first question, Epstein. Second question, did you win the 2020 election? I will go through a metal detector every day if you sit through a lie detector one time.
