NEW piece that I'm PROUD OF: I took a deep dive into what happened with AI and the midterms. Not only about this week, it traces the last 18 months of AI politics — and how an odd coalition found its way together to push Dems towards safety/regulation. W/the homie @AlecAHernandez : politico.com/news/magazine/2…

Exclusive in @POLITICO: Maria Elvira Salazar has been a fixture, a celebrity of the 305. Suddenly she’s fighting for her political life.
The sweeping ICE crackdown in Miami risks fracturing the GOP coalition of Latino support that’s transformed the city’s politics. Salazar privately warned James Blair and White House CoS Susie Wiles about the GOP losing Latinos on immigration, well before she so publicly broke with her party in a viral ad in front of the White House.
With days to go, Salazar is the ultimate test of whether a Latina Republican can win in the era of mass deportation.
A profile months in the making, reported from my hometown — this is one of the top House races to watch on Tuesday.

Remember when egg prices were $6 a dozen?
It might not have been for the reasons you thought.
