$700,000 for handrails???
I reached out to the NYS Office of General Services about the railings. They’re going up on the Senate and Assembly staircases, but NOT the Million Dollar Staircase. OGS cites safety reasons for installing them. Total cost: $700,000

.@Scott_Wiener faces scrutiny of PAC coordination after a report in @washingtonsun detailed how he shared multiple staff and consultants with a PAC. I found another instance of PAC overlap with Wiener -- this time a firm working for both him and the PAC funded by Public First, which is backed by @AnthropicAI

Less than one year ago, Rep. Pat Ryan recorded a "Happy Birthday" Israel video message for @AIPAC where he said it’s “so important that we celebrate and value and double down on our alliance with Israel.”
After voting against funding Netanyahu’s war crimes, I pledged to return all donations from AIPAC (and any organization invested in supporting his government) and to refund any donors who requested it. I have honored that pledge and returned $247,574.85. I will work with anyone who is dedicated to ensuring the safety of the Jewish and Palestinian people in the region and to fulfilling both Israel's right to exist as a democratic Jewish state and true self-determination for the Palestinian people.

.@PatRyanUC also traveled to Israel with an @AIPAC affiliate in 2023 where he talked about the "incredible IDF." Today he returned ~$250k in AIPAC donations. I profiled Pat Ryan and his careful bid to set himself up for a bigger job in the Democratic party: politico.com/news/magazine/2…

In #IowaGov debate, GOP @ZachLahn is asked what his favorite pie is: "It's probably one I can't say because of MAHA purposes, but it is oreo cream pie. I just love it."

Should Wisconsin women be allowed to seek abortions after 20 weeks? David Crowley: "You should probably ask a doctor that. I don't know anything. When you think about our healthcare providers, we trust them to have those conversations with that patient..."

New: Dems may be discovering the political power of calling something rigged. They’re leaning hard into anti-corruption messaging as new research suggests linking corruption to economic struggles can boost Democrats. More w/@JasonBeeferman, @sambbenson politico.com/news/2026/10/12…

Scoop: As Dems shift their focus away from NC’s Senate race, David Plouffe, who managed Obama’s narrow 2008 victory in the state, is urging donors not to grow complacent. “We have to win the ones we have to win,” he said in audio obtained by POLITICO. politico.com/news/2026/10/10…

NY-21 has five media markets and one of them crosses over into Vermont. Massive and surprisingly complex (largely) rural district. xitter.cf/Timodc/status/21085331…
Blake is a good candidate for the district. Anthony is a mad man. Would be a delicious and shocking victory for Dems to win Stefaniks seat. Affordable media market if looking for a place for a late cash infusion. Been on this one for a while.

NEW — Dems’ latest cash conundrum: red reach states. Some money is flowing to Senate races in KS, MS, SC, FL from outside groups. Big push for MS: it’s cheap. But major groups say there’s still not enough cash to make significant investments beyond core battleground. w/@JasonBeeferman @sambbenson @AlecAHernandez @politico politico.com/news/2026/10/08…

🚨NEW🚨 Poll + Ad + Spend against @laurenboebert in CO-4. ➡️ The lawmaker's "Beetlejuice" incident is now the subject of an attack ad from clean energy super PAC Invest in Tomorrow Coalition: "If Lauren Boebert can't be trusted in a room full of kids, then she can't be trusted in the halls of Congress," the ad says. ➡️ A new poll from the PAC shows Boebert only up by 5pts against Democrat @EileenforCO, and Boebert is deeply underwater (39%/55%, fav/unfav) ➡️ The PAC is dropping $1.5 million against her in the district.
