Trump’s super PAC (MAGA Inc.) & its offshoots (No Going Back) have dumped over $150 million into Senate/House races buying ads attacking Dems over health insurers, gas prices, and data centers..
Yet, MAGA Inc in large part is funded by health insurers, big oil, and AI execs.

Heads-up: Watch @USATODAY in the AM for the new @Suffolk_U poll of IOWA, with findings on both the Senate and gubernatorial races. How big is the blue wave that seems to be approaching? cc: @davidpaleologos >>>

When the illusion finally shatters, what’s left isn’t just disappointment,it’s total embarrassment.
The man you invested your faith in wasn’t a savior at all, just an empty act stitched together with arrogance, noise, and relentless self-promotion.
All that confidence, all those grand promises, all the swagger,it collapses into something painfully small the moment it’s tested against reality.
There’s no hidden genius, no bold disruptor underneath it all.
Just a loud, impulsive figure flailing through responsibilities he clearly wasn’t equipped to handle, drowning incompetence in a flood of bluster.
In the end, what once looked like strength turns out to be nothing more than cheap theatrics.
Not leadership,just a gaudy performance.
A caricature.
A spectacle.
And the real sting isn’t that it was absurd,it’s realizing how long it took to admit you were taken in by his bullshit...

A Facebook post from Michael Sweetney’s wife about his passing.
Terrible news. Great guy and a big heart.

Respect to the Pentagon Press Corps 25 years ago today. To: Jack/ABC my mentor, Mik/NBC, David/CBS, also Bob/ AP, Charlie/Reuters, Susanne/Ap, Jamie and Chris /CNN, Thom and Eric/NYT and so many others. That day, and every day after they never stopped reporting. Some have moved on, some have passed, some are still here. They are not forgotten and their work informed a generation.

Paul Simon pays tribute to 9/11 by performing "The Sound Of Silence".
A native New Yorker, you can see the deep emotion in Paul's face as he sings.
Heartbreaking.

BIG NEWS
The DC Circuit vacated DOE's 202 (c) order keeping the Campbell plant in Michigan open, finding it usurped state authority. The first time a court has reviewed DOE's effort to prevent retirements of fossil plants states had approved. media.cadc.uscourts.gov/opin…

I am so sad to report that Roger Simon died early this morning. He had been ill for some months but went peacefully at the end. He was a brilliant journalist, a gifted columnist, the author of many books about presidential campaigns and other things. He was also wickedly funny. He was courageous in the face of adversity that befell him more than a dozen years ago. So much to be admired. He was Chicago born and worked there and in Baltimore before closing out his remarkable career in Washington, lastly at Politico. He and I met as college journalists and he and his wife Marcia became the dearest of friends with my wife Nancy and me for 60 years. I mourn his loss and know so many others will too. RIP, Friend.
What a buffoon @SecretaryWright is. I've covered every energy secretary since the department was created. His predecessors ran the gamut in terms of intellect, expertise and vision. But asked about gasoline prices on CNN, he says "I don't want to have an opinion on that."

Somebody at the Postal Service could have kept their head down and collected a paycheck through November.
They drew a diagram instead.

Can someone at @Safeway please explain to me why you have spent the past week totally rearranging the store that I shop in in Alexandria. You’ve turned a 30 minute shopping trip into an hour long trip and that discourages me from wanting to come back.
Where is the United States and helping to respond to this disaster? Isn’t that what we always have done?
🇳🇵 AH&H is on the ground in Nuwakot, Nepal, after devastating floods and mudslides tore through the area, killing hundreds and leaving thousands still missing. Our team is coordinating with Nepali government authorities to distribute emergency supplies.
