And there we have it
Former South Carolina Republican governor David Beasley is endorsing @AnnieAndrewsMD for U.S. Senate. Big pickup for her in the waning days of the race as both parties start spending big in the state youtu.be/ARZ5yG35WD4

Beasley led the state from 1995-1999, endorsed George W Bush and most recently led the World Food Program (even though Biden tried to end his tenure)

I’m deleting this b/c he posted yesterday that he was doing this to commit suicide by cop. If any of you are struggling with a mental health crisis, please talk to someone before making a choice like this

Un-triaging TN-05 only makes sense if national Dems believe that undecided voters are breaking late towards Democrats (overriding the voters’ partisanship) or are staying home. And if the bottom is falling out, how it falls out and where it falls out matter a ton
New in Hotline via @zachblackburn23: The DCCC is up with a coordinated ad buy with Chaz Molder in (D) in #TN05, the Trumpiest district the committee's up in yet

Pretty cool that after being killed off by Netflix and streaming that Redbox has reinvented itself into a totally real and not-prediction-market-gaming political polling outfit
RedBox poll | 10/20-10/23 LV US House 2026 | Michigan’s 10th congressional district (Trump +6 | 2024) 🟥Mike Bouchard Jr 47.2% 🟦Christina Hines 42.4% —— (MI-10 surveyed) —— US Senate Michigan 2026 🟥Mike Rogers 47.8% 🟦Abdul El-Sayed 45.4% — Michigan Governor 2026 🟦Jocelyn Benson 47.1% 🟥John James 46.3%

Lots of people are asking me where to give their money - if you can only do one race, I’d give what you can to @MaryPeltola Several reasons: 1) It’s a small state, so your money goes further per expected senate vote 2) Direct donations buy 19x ads per dollar than committees due to the unit rule - this also frees up the DSCC and SMP to put their money on states with smaller IE/coord ad price spreads and frees them up to spend more on digital 3) it’s likely going to be close! It’s not too late! Any money you send today will get spent immediately and will provide real relief to an overworked campaign workers across a bunch of orgs! secure.actblue.com/donate/mp…

Regarding Russian conscripts, this is not the case. The overwhelming percentage of Russian forces fighting in this war are men well over 30 who accepted service contracts for money. They were not conscripted, or mobilized. For more on this topic: warontherocks.com/a-return-t…
Replying to @skscartoon
The endless slaughter of Ukrainian and Russians must stop. We should some sympathy for the poor Russian conscripts too. Those kids have no choice but to fight and die in drone strikes.

Excellent closing message Mr. President. Keep it up
TRUMP on HIGH GAS PRICES: We’re making money like we’ve never made before. They’ll say: President Trump is bragging about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. We’re making a freaking fortune.

This point about local elections brings me back to a point I’ve made a few times: the Democratic Party (or related org) should stand up a party committee or PAC dedicated to funding Democrats for special/off-year elections
Size of the 'blue wave' isn't just about how far Dems get in US House. Hundreds of local offices could flip if Dems have a great night—AGs, county governments, utility commissions, school boards. Lots to peruse on my guide to 670 items to watch! boltsmag.org/whats-on-the-ba…

Imagine $50k rushing into key local city council or county commissioner races for either cheaper digital ads or to support a quickly spun-up ground op to get as many 4/4 Dems to the polls as possible. For much of the 2010s Democrats forgot about the local & this can build a bench

I don’t think it’s discussed enough how much the modern Texas GOP (and really the national GOP) is a child of the 1980s California Republican Party. In Texas, it’s even more interesting because that shift is the direct result of the modern mass migration to the state in the 80s
Replying to @lmcgaughy
As most all the politicians here bash California, I just noticed this big California pendant has been in the background the whole time.

You saw a wave of conservative Californians (and others) move into the state and radically change not just the political dynamics in the state but the “flavors” of both the GOP and to an extent the Democratic Party as well. The first “don’t California my Texas” looked different
