When I saw this, I got excited that the great Ed Fitzgerald was making a comeback..in his sedan @JeffSmithMO

On par with the @JeffSmithMO’s divorce settlement
Per the terms of his contract, Jason Beck is set to be owed up to $10.1 million dollars. That's nearly $7 million in salary and nearly $3.1 in retention bonuses. The contract is subject to off-set and mitigation. It's believed to be the biggest buyout for a college assistant.

Bill Weld and John Kerry commemorate their post-election beer at their epic 1996 US Senate campaign. At J.J. Foley’s in Boston’s South End since the original site - McGann’s on Portland Street - has since closed. Thirty years ago tonight.

MACtion for elections
There should be a few elections on Sunday and Monday ... like little apps before the Tuesday main course. Just a handful of House races and maybe one Senate race.

I think Haley Stevens has deluded herself into believing she’s some kind of beloved figure with a large following rather than someone a lot of partisan Dems rallied behind after McMorrow stumbled because they worried about potentially losing the seat.

Sources tell me that members of Sen. Louise Lucas’ family have already been arrested. Sen. Lucas was given until 9 am today to turn herself in. Press conference with the US AG and FBI director is at 10 am.

Appointing Dabo to the Senate seat would have solved a lot of problems for everyone

Thought that the man just wanted to paint and had left interest in electoral matters behind him
Some guy named George W. Bush made a personal donation to Susan Collins in Maine… "Retired"

Might have to become a republican
For too long, data center development has gone unchecked in Virginia. My statewide MORATORIUM bill would pause ALL new data center approvals until we get real protections. Donate to help me fight to reign in this industry. secure.actblue.com/donate/fr…

Sounds awesome
NYE '24: @KenPaxtonTX was in Dubai, partying with two U.S. fugitives and a woman who wasn't his wife. See video from the night and read why it epitomizes the travels, associations & baggage that may now be a campaign liability against @jamestalarico 👇 wsj.com/politics/policy/ken-…

This is @jmart bait, his wife calling him Sir
Trump: My wife told me: Sir, do me a favor.

Tom Kean Jr isn’t Mr electable when he’s not up against Congressman Limpdick Malinowski. Shocking stuff
🚨NEW from @CNN🚨 The House GOP is entering TRIAGE MODE ⤵️ Republicans are discussing pulling money from races they see as too difficult to win, including Mariannette Miller-Meeks in #IA01, Tom Kean in #NJ07, and #NE02, according to three people familiar with the talks.

Surprised he didn’t name it after Byers

Great job making Paxton look like a total badass
amazing -- Karl Rove lists Ken Paxton's scandals: "You've got a guy who has multiple girlfriends and $200,000 worth of home improvements from a corrupt business guy for whom he does favors. My personal favorite is the Uber account in the name of David P. Since he drives around in a car that has [state] license plates, it made it a little difficult to have assignations with one of his mistresses, so the corrupt business guy gives him a fake Uber account and the records of that are now in his impeachment proceedings, so we know how often he went to have sex with Laura Olsen. I mean, can you make this shit up?"
