You can’t blame my employer for these tweets, because I don’t have one. Are my eyes really brown?

Let’s not beat around the bush: A vote for Susan Collins in Maine is a vote to let Trump continue his disastrous policies. If we are serious about holding Trump accountable, we must end Republican control over the Senate. It’s time for a change. VOTE FOR TROY JACKSON

The greatest threat to America right now is Donald Trump.
Jason Turkish explains why he's supporting @MikeRogersForMI over Abdul El-Sayed FOX: "'What's a greater threat to America, Iran or Israel?' He would not say that." TURKISH: “That was the moment I decided to vote for Mike Rogers.”

Hey in case anyone's waffling here. Keep Mike Rogers far, far away from the US Senate.
🚨 BREAKING: Mike Rogers confirmed in a new interview that he would vote for a national abortion ban: "I've been very open about that time I was in Congress, having a 100% pro-life rating... This is the only way that I know how to be when I go back to the United States Senate."

When Ramaswamy weaponized Amy Acton's child rape Vance said "politics is a tough business" and told people to "stop whining." When two Dan Sullivans are running on the ballot in Alaska Vance said Mary Peltola committed a "moral failing". Make it make sense.

Are you kidding? Seriously?
"I think I can say that you were treated reasonably well by some of the people," Trump tells Stephen Hubbard, who was detained for over four years in Russia until he was freed Oct. 21.

This is an insult to every American taxpayer. Trump wasted almost half a billion of our tax dollars cutting a sweetheart deal for one of his donors. Demanding an explanation for that corrupt overpayment isn't a "waste of time," it's absolutely essential.
Q: If the administration has declared on waste and fraud, could you explain the $420 million overpayment for a prison in Appleton, MN, when they company offered it to the state for $75m? BESSENT: I don't know anything about that. That's a waste of our time.

Stevens has totally disgraced herself but I don’t understand the impulse to exaggerate the extent of “establshment” hostility to El-Sayed rather than tell people they should vote for the guy who Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, Elissa Slotkin, Gary Peters, etc are all endorsing.

David Jolly: The other side of the aisle likes to throw around the term socialism. I just call it cheaper insurance. But tell me what a hurricane fund currently is that bails out our insurance companies? It sounds a whole lot like socialism to me. What does it mean when we give Elon Musk billions of dollars of tax credits and we don't tax his profits? Sounds a whole lot like socialism to me. What about a president who says, hey, if you vote for me and elect my team, we're going to give you a $5,000 check? What about a president who removes Maduro but supports Delce in Venezuela? What about a president who suggests we should allow investment in the hospitality industry on the island of Cuba? What about a president who invited Vladimir Putin to South Florida to come to Miami in December, a leader who has backed the Maduro regime, the Sandinistas, and the Cuban regime? They don't even understand economic theory on the other side of the aisle, folks. They're just arguing labels to try to scare us and divide us.

In this story JD shares that he panicked & took his kid to the emergency room when he was totally fine. Instead of being relieved by that good news he got upset that there are translators in the hospital helping the sick. This must’ve been before he was Catholic.
JD Vance whines about translators in hospitals and says, "how about if everyone just spoke English?"

We have a loved one scheduled to be on this flight. He will be killed if he’s returned to the Taliban. He supported the US mission in Afghanistan. He has broken no laws. He came here legally. Seeking asylum should not be a death sentence.
Breaking News: The Trump administration has detained dozens of Afghan immigrants in Louisiana — including relatives of those who helped the U.S. military — and plans to deport them to Afghanistan, according to U.S. officials. nyti.ms/4jPVvrw

I obtained the audio of yesterday's CBS all-staff editorial meeting where the Dan Sullivan/Dan Sullivan story was discussed. In contrast to the Fox story's characterization (shared below), I didn't detect any tension or hear staffers clashing or disagreeing with Bari Weiss. Sounded like a standard editorial discussion...
Fox is wrong. That is not what happened in the meeting at all. No one who spoke at the network meeting opposed covering the campaign or story but rather exchanged ideas on how to do it. All of the AK candidates also know they have an open invitation (repeatedly offered) to join Face the Nation. So does the NH GOP candidate who has also been repeatedly invited. I look forward to seeing my colleagues cover it too. I actually caught this on Fox: foxnews.com/video/6407549345… And WaPo: washingtonpost.com/politics/…

Annie Andrew’s was paid to create an educational program for medical students to teach them how to train parents on safe gun storage. @DarlineGrahamSC is a liar.
.@DarlineGrahamSC with a BIG TRUTH about Annie Andrews: "Her primary job was serving as a paid gun control activist trying to gut our Second Amendment rights and take your guns."

Putting someone on the ballot just because of their last name is a bit slimy. But enough about Darlene Graham.

Rob can stand up here and talk about a bill that has gone nowhere in Congress – but his record is clear: He pushed for data centers all over NEPA before he didn’t. He owns millions of dollars worth of data center-related stock. And he voted for massive tax breaks for Big Tech and data center hyperscalers by gutting PA health care.

Easy choice: A child handed a Senate seat she’s unqualified for vs a professional grown up.
THE SOUTH CAROLINA SENATE SUMMARY IN TWO LINES: 🔴DARLINE GRAHAM: "KISS MY ASS." 🔵DR. ANNIE ANDREWS: "I'LL SAVE YOUR HOSPITALS." Dr. Andrews is a peditrician who's #1 priority is stopping the Medicaid cuts.

Rob Bresnahan lied through his teeth when he promised to protect Medicaid. He voted to gut Pennsylvanians’ health care to give billionaires, big corporations, and himself a permanent tax break. He even stock traded off that vote. Rob and his corporate buddies cashed in while NEPA paid the price.

By framing Rogers as a moderate, these “Democrats” that are blanking the Senate ballot or voting for Rogers are trying to give themselves a permission structure for what they’re doing. But objectively, they’re just enabling the MAGA agenda and the further rightward lurch of the Supreme Court for another generation. And regardless of the outcome of this race, none of us should ever — under any circumstances — forget or forgive a single “Democrat” who enabled Donald Trump. Without exception, they should permanently wear a proverbial scarlet letter within the party.
The media and “Democrats” who dislike Abdul frame Mike Rogers as a moderate, like he was in Congress But Michigan voters that have seen him on the campaign trail over the last three years have seen a candidate that has openly & enthusiastically embraced Trump & the MAGA platform
