The way to end scam pacs and the massive dollars burned off by C4s on issue ads is to get rid of the limit on hard dollar donations to candidates.
They're a dime a dozen but I'll never stop being taken aback by these PAC emails that ask you to donate to help a particular race or candidate and then you go look at their FEC report and their expenses are like: -10% to fifty candidates -0% on IEs -66% to consultants/compliance

The best part of being married is getting to say "let me check with my wife" about something you personally have absolutely no intention of doing.

Roy Cooper squandered YOUR tax dollars on a new Medicaid computer system that’s still years late and hundreds of millions over budget. That delay has made it harder to detect fraud and get care to those who need it most. Then his admin tried to BURY a state audit examining what went wrong. North Carolinians deserve answers.

The Cubs went 108 years between titles. When they finally won in 2016, Game 7 went to extra innings, had a rain delay, and Cleveland had tied it with a two run homer in the eighth off Aroldis Chapman. The Cubs were down 3-1 in that series. Kyle Schwarber came back from a torn ACL to DH in the World Series having not played since April. Ben Zobrist hit the go ahead double in the 10th. Then Kris Bryant fielded the last ground ball smiling before he'd even thrown it. It's the best Game 7 I've ever seen.

Goodness gracious. This person ran for office. Aside from the disgusting caption, who is smiling in concentration camps? Do you understand the gravity of the grounds on which you stand? You’re standing in front of an oven. For humans.

Just so we’re clear, this is why he didn’t speak out against the guy with the Nazi tattoo until it was clear he was going to lose. It’s why he won’t call out the Dem nominee in HIS OWN STATE who has called for domestic terrorist attacks It’s his party and power first, then everyone else. #ncsen

As political director at the @NRCC last cycle I did hundreds of political briefings to lobbyists. After nearly every single briefing where I walked through the map, candidates, hits, and polling…I clearly had infinitely more data and intel than them. Without fail they would tell me when I wrapped “I just think the House is lost.” Most (not all) lobbyists make decisions on the collective DC bubble which is inherently never-Trump. Hence, the only election Nikki Haley won in the 2024 primary was Washington, DC.
NEW in @playbookdc: "The vibes are very bad" in Texas, a Republican lobbyist close to the WH told me after attending an RNC donor event in Dallas last night. “Dems are salivating. Our people are debating Israel. Or melting down about this or that. No one is motivated to vote. Only the DSA rise is what’s keeping us in the game.”

NEW AD: @RoyCooperNC’s reckless policies and decision to release 3,500 violent criminals put every family in North Carolina at risk. Stephen’s daughter Logan was a casualty of an agenda.

🚨 NEW: Deep dive investigation into 3,000+ Senate polls over the last 4 cycles. They've overestimated Democrats in all 4 cycles, 73% of polls overstate the Democrat, and it's worse right now, in the summer. patrickruffini.com/p/why-sen…

Remember this crazy lady? She just won the Democrat primary for US Senate in Florida. Angie Nixon is a member of DSA.

Capitalism won’t make most of us as rich as Elon Musk, but it’ll make most of our grandchildren richer than him—just as it made most of us richer than Rockefeller in nearly every way that matters.
Warren Buffett: “The bottom 2% in terms of income in the United States, the bottom 5%, and for sure the top 1% all live better than John D. Rockefeller was living when I was 6 years old.” “John D. Rockefeller was the richest man in the world and, today, you can get better medicine, better education, better entertainment, better transportation. You can do everything better than he could.”

You're not imagining a summer polling bump for Democrats in Senate races. Combining all 2018-24 polls, pro-Dem bias peaks at D+5.9 in the summer and ends up at D+2.6 by Election Day.

Let me be clear: I will not back down. I will not waver. I will not stop until this life-threatening hemp loophole is closed permanently. We must strip this amendment from the CR & regulate these harmful substances for what they are—not what the industry wants to call them.
