Very strong polls for Democrats in individual Senate races over the past couple of days. Polls can be wrong, that's what models/probabilities/markets are for, but I think we're past the point where you can honestly say "polls show the Senate is too close to call".
“Any Democrats telling you they aren’t winning the Senate [besides] a couple of seats are sandbagging expectations,” the senior Republican said.

“Kushner told Zelensky that he should pause the strikes because he and U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff were dedicating a lot of time, energy, and jet fuel to mediating with Moscow, one of the U.S. officials said. A 30-day pause on refineries would be a way for Ukraine to show gratitude, that U.S. official said.”
An almost comical thing to tell a nation fighting for its existence. Lay down your weapons because we are exhausted from taking a private jet.

The law firm that helped set up Elon Musk’s America PAC has created a new, nationwide “election integrity” organization aligned with Donald Trump’s false claims of election fraud, WIRED has learned. wired.com/story/law-firm-lin…

Yes, except the U.S. has been asking Ukraine to stop hitting oil refineries for weeks (it was even reported in the WSJ that Ukraine had agreed to do so until after the midterms) and yet Kyiv just blew up one at Novokuybyshevsk. I'd be very surprised indeed if the Baltic states "toned down" their rhetoric on Russia because Bridge Colby asked them to. Meanwhile, Trump can't find a buyer for Russian diesel en route to these shores because Congress keeps threatening to prosecute anyone who volunteers. And the New York Times says he is seething in the White House, awaiting electoral doom in five days and consuming bad poll numbers and "AI slop."

NEW: Our reporting found the recent Starlink outage in Ukraine could be part of an elaborate upsell.
When U.S. officials asked Musk's company about it, they were told the problem could be fixed by upgrading to a new contract.

Yesterday, Putin revealed that Russian authorities are "in close touch" with Elon Musk about the technology Ukraine needs to defend itself.
Our new report @TheAtlantic investigates how @elonmusk went from supporting Ukraine to coordinating with Moscow.

“This spring, the U.S. military faced a similar dilemma in the Middle East. According to a Reuters report that cited Pentagon documents, U.S. forces used Starshield to pilot their drones for strikes against Iran. When SpaceX found out, it raised the price for Starshield service in that region from roughly $5,000 per terminal per month to $25,000. The Pentagon agreed to pay.
In Ukraine, Musk could be attempting a similar upsell.”

“Another analyst described the cargoes as having been “shopped” for weeks by their commercial owners, but still unable to get any bites from U.S. firms. Multiple sources confirmed that the diesel cargoes did not have a confirmed buyer when they were loaded onto the tankers.”

The fact that the House Judiciary Dems just released a 53-page report in which 11 women spoke to Trump's ties to Epstein's sex-trafficking operation, 5 of them alleging Trump forced himself on them directly, and one citing a particularly brutal rape while she was a beauty pageant contestant, should be a more significant story.
The fact that Todd Blanche has refused to comply with the court order to release the Epstein files following Katie Phang's lawsuit, should be a more significant story.
The fact that the Epstein Estate ACTUALLY PAID a settlement to one of the women who alleged that Donald Trump raped her as a minor, and it was paid AFTER Epstein died, as told under oath by Epstein's longtime accountant, should be a more significant story.
The fact that Trump said he wasn't ever on Epstein's plane and then we found out he was, should be a more significant story.
The fact that we know senior officials gathered in the Situation Room to concoct and coordinate an Epstein coverup should be the most significant story of all.
And when you combine ALL these stories and add to it his hiring of Alex Acosta, the birthday card, Bondi, the movement of Maxwell to a more lenient facility, and then - especially - my pet peeve - simply Trump's panicked behavior on all things Epstein, you really see the degree of the problem we need to fix ...
Echo chambers, social media algorithms, dopamine addicts, and other susceptible citizens, have normalized something that shouldn't be normalizable (poetic license).
To put it simply, and I know it sounds like an understatement, but this election is about so much more than gas prices.

But American firms want nothing to do with it. They’re very scared of the legal and reputational risk, industry sources tell me and @jstein_sun

Judge David Carter:
"Never before in American history has the federal government, on the eve of an election, sought to coerce a state and local government to abandon their own Constitutional elections procedures and bend to the will of the Executive Branch. In bringing this lawsuit, the Executive would have this Court believe that it reigns as a sole sovereign. But California and its people are sovereign, too."
