🚨Some professional news: After four years as associate editor @njhotline, I'm stepping into a new role as managing editor for @nationaljournal.
I'm excited for this new opportunity and to work with both the Hotline team and the Daily team.
Any tips or ideas are welcome!
Absolutely iconic Zoom background from NPS in today's National Capital Planning Commission meeting today.
The blue tsunami has me thinking about a story I did in 2025:
Dems flipped Onondaga County's (Syracuse-area) board for the first time in ~50 years.
It was so unexpected they didn't know what to do with it.
State Dems could be in similar spot next year.

More than half the chamber - 53/54 senators - will have turned over from the beginning of Trump's 1st term.
Just 20 Republicans in the next Senate will have predated Trump.

I’ll be on @cspan from 6-noon tomorrow morning to compare my political takes to the president's.

"Arout. A thumpin’. A tsunami.
Whatever you call it, Democrats won’t mind. Two years after President Trump helped Republicans retain a slim House majority, Democrats roared to victory, riding a massive wave of political momentum to regain control." njour.nl/s/733345/?unlock=9W…

A new group in OK is attacking Mike Mazzei over his support for a UAE-backed smelter, accusing him of supporting “a foreign corporation in an Islamic nation.” DGA says its $500K will go to outside groups but won’t say if Fairness Corp PAC is among them. nationaljournal.com/s/733305…
All eyes are on the election. But what comes next?
@Vu_Reports lays out Congress' lame-duck to-do list.
Spoiler alert: they've got a lot to do.

OUTSIDE THE BELTWAY: With legislative seats up for grabs, mile-long ballot measures, and new actions to address fraud and chatbots, state governments have not been idle.
My latest for @nationaljournal

As a throwback alumni (decades ago), so proud of present-day @njhotline for producing interactive Insider's Guide to the Midterms: "Our top election correspondents emptied their notebooks after 2 years of crunching the numbers and reporting on the ground."
