There’s one person in this exchange whose behavior, hand-picked candidates, and policies were repudiated handily by voters with historical election losses coast to coast — including in Texas, Kansas, Iowa, Ohio, and Georgia — and it ain’t Kaitlan.

Could make a movie on this one topic. Even a product that causes cancer can bamboozle this administration. It’s what happens when you have weak corrupt people in power.
Calley Means just revealed who was really behind Trump’s glyphosate order and the pesticide liability shield.
“Susie Wiles.”
“She did not consult Bobby Kennedy on that.”
“Susie’s person, Walker Barrett … said, this is not up to discussion.”
“Susie then called Bobby’s office and said, we’re not discussing this.”
“Around the same time, the Supreme Court was deciding whether to take a case that revolved around liability protection for glyphosate.”
“The President’s DOJ … can basically weigh in and say, please take this case.”
“The Biden administration chose not to.”
“Heidi Overton, who is Susie’s person … worked with the DOJ to construct a legal argument about why the Supreme Court could take the case.”
“And why they should be supporting liability protection for the pesticide makers.”
“The DOJ brought in a lawyer named Sarah Harris.”
“Sarah came from the law firm that is Bayer’s main law firm.”
“And she wrote an opinion saying that the Supreme Court should take the case.”
“And give liability protection to Bayer.”
Joe Rogan: “Did they get the liability protection?”
Means: “Yeah.”
“The Supreme Court ended up siding with the case.”
“Giving Bayer legal immunity.”
“Making it the second product after vaccines in America that you can’t sue for.”

So here's what happened in today's Stupid Olympics.
There are two people named Dana White.
One is President and CEO of the UFC
The other is Dana W. White, who served as the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs and Chief Pentagon Spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Defense under Secretary James Mattis
Their pictures are below. He's the white guy. She's the Black woman. I'll call them UFC Dana and DOD Dana to make it easier for you.
Suzie Wiles, shortly before being replaced by Count Stephen Miller, advised Trump that his new Press Secretary should be Dana White.
And Trump in all his finite wisdom, immediately assumed the UFC Dana, who has never done anything to prepare him for press secretary, and not DOD Dana, whose entire career has been in preparation for that.
Now you might be saying, "Kelly, not everyone knows about DOD Dana. It's an honest mistake."
But he's NOT just "everyone." He's the President of the United States. And this is a man whose administration has been firing Black people, women, trans people, and so on, insisting that none of them got their job based on merit.
And then he's going to name someone completely unqualified to be Press Secretary because the President is a fan of the UFC.
And he didn't even think to ask anyone. It never even occurred to him to ponder whether UFC Dana is the person he should pick as Press Secretary.
Stupid and incurious are a dangerous combination, and this man is both of those things.
And that got me to thinking about the two Dan Sullivan in Alaska. And I get it now. The man who is too stupid to know the difference between two Dana Whites thinks Alaskans are too stupid to know the difference between two Dan Sullivans.

So what are the chances someone suggested this Dana White and Trump pulled a Four Seasons Total Landscaping?
Trump: “I am pleased to announce that the Great Dana White, a violent Fighter and Warrior, has been offered the job of Press Secretary of the United States. I have requested that he bring with him assistants, even though some are not from our Country, of Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Justin Gaethje, Daniel Cormier, Amanda Nunes, and Kayla Harris. We need these people to defend us against the Lunatic Left. Dana will be a Press Secretary like none other. Dana, please take the job! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.

Talarico extending olive branches is great:
“I’m a big fan of SpaceX and Tesla. He is a great business leader and entrepreneur and innovator. I want him to stick to those things… I will work with him when it comes to technology and innovation.”

In retrospect, “Pick another protein? I’d rather pick another senator” is probably the most impactful ad of the cycle.

One of the more exciting parts of this election - among many - is the return of a religious left.

Damn I was not familiar with this man’s game but I’ve watched like 5 interviews now, the dude is a stud. I’m a fan.

I say this with no love for Ossoff or the Democratic Party, but he is correct about all of this and it is going to be a devastating message going forward.
It's one of the reasons I've been chimping about our Russia policy for the last couple months—it's been objectively corrupt and disgraceful. Trying to turn Zelenskyy into a scapegoat at the end was the cherry on top.

Ossoff being a minor character in Trump season one and then coming back in season 10 as a primary antagonist is such good writing
