SCOOP: The Trump admin is easing its blockade on wind projects as it looks to motivate Democrats to support the Senate’s bipartisan permitting reform bill. A White House official told me DOD has advanced 2 projects in Maine & SD with more to come. Text subscribers got it 1st!

Another LIV golfer gone. Very sad for lifelong Southern Guards fans.
🚨❌🇿🇦 #BREAKING — In a surprising move, Major Champion and 11-time DP World Tour winner Louis Oosthuizen is leaving LIV Golf, with the Southern Guards Captain declaring that it’s time to make his exit from the league as he pursues a schedule on the DP World Tour. “I loved LIV and the team aspect, but it’s time to move on” he told The South China Morning Post. It was initially expected that the South African team was fully on board with LIV 2.0 because of the successful home event but this changes that. “I feel I have a few more years of good, competitive golf left in me, and the only way to be really sharp and competitive is through a schedule I control…” “Southern Guards is my team. It always has been and it always will be. That's what makes this so difficult…” “This is probably the hardest decision I've had to make in my career, but I have to do what I believe is right for my golf. It doesn't change how I feel about the team or the guys.” Oosthuizen’s announcement comes as LIV faces a Sunday deadline for players to commit to the future of the league. Do you think LIV will survive?

HMP Q3 -- Most of HMP's polling is done by The Majority Institute -- $4M. looks like theyre paid by retainer....500k payments. PPP got 154k Equis Research -- 100k HMP also seems to be doing in-kind polling for a bunch of groups including Giffords, Women Vote, EDW action fund, Reproductive Freedom for All.
