ANDERSON COOPER: Do you want Democrats to win control of the Senate? HALEY STEVENS: I absolutely do COOPER: ...

In one of the strangest leak methods yet, the Washington Capitals Hometown Remix jersey has leaked… by somebody who was somehow wearing it at the game today. #ALLCAPS #HometownRemix

Haley Stevens had a “bizarre obsession” with Mallory McMorrow, per a source familiar with the inner workings of Stevens’ Senate campaign: “Nearly every thing Mallory said or did caused some sort of break down from Haley…Even after Mallory dropped out of the race, she and her fiance wanted to continue to attack McMorrow” “On the day Mallory dropped out, Haley refused to call her. Instead, staff drafted a text for Haley to send to her. Haley still refused to send it, despite telling staff she was going to, and only sent it after a journalist from Politico reported that Haley had not reached out to Mallory yet.” “There was a video that Haley attempted to film saying that Mallory had run a great race and encouraging Mallory’s supporters to vote for her, which ended up being scrapped because Haley sounded so insincere when praising McMorrow and her campaign.”

NEW Former Michigan Governor Jim Blanchard — a longtime friend and supporter of Haley Stevens — says he was having dinner on Friday with Stevens and her fiancé, and that Stevens was excited to attend the church service with Jim Clyburn and Abdul El-Sayed. Blanchard said that Stevens’ fiancé, Jason Turkish, began chiding her at the dinner. “He was working her over. The way he was saying it was, ‘Everyone is disappointed in you, they did everything they could to help you and then immediately after you lose the primary, you endorsed him.’” “He was all distraught,” he said. “He was all strung out about Abdul. I let her know, he’s not a good influence.” Blanchard remained in touch with Stevens throughout the weekend and expected her to attend the church service. He only found out from the news that she was at the service with Rogers and endorsing him. “Something snapped in her. And it snapped in 24 hours,” Blanchard told Zach Gorchow of State Affairs. “And I don’t know what.” Blanchard, clearly pained by the situation, said several times, “This is not the Haley I know.” He lamented Turkish’s “terrible political judgment.” Full Story: bit.ly/3UV80b7

I’ve known Haley Stevens for a long time. Until now, she has always had staff to protect her, prop her up, and keep her safe from her own irrational behavior. What we’re seeing now? This is just raw, unfiltered Haley. The Haley who flip-flops and goes from thought to thought without rhyme or reason. The Haley that calls you at 3 AM to yell at you, and then calls you back at 5 AM oblivious to the fact that she even spoke with you at 3 AM. The Haley who bends to the last and loudest voice that tells her something. More often than not that last voice is now her fiancé. And as you can see by what one of her former staff people posted earlier here on X, that appears to potentially be a really troubling relationship. Up until this point, other than a joke I made on X a few days ago, I wasn't going to say anything public about Haley Stevens or how she has comported herself since the primary. It not only wasn't appropriate, I would never, ever want anyone to think I was speaking for or on behalf of my wife. But Haley's erratic choices mean I can no longer be silent about my interactions with her since the primary ended. I approached Haley in the middle of September about putting her name to an Op-Ed attacking Mike Rogers for his unwillingness to denounce the antisemitic members of his own team, the $10 million in support he's received from Christian nationalist Tim Dunn, and his steadfast opposition to a woman's right to choose. The goal of the Op-Ed was to remind members of the Jewish community that Mike Rogers doesn't align with our values. The proposed Op-Ed never mentioned Abdul. The only thing it asked for was to not vote for Mike Rogers. Initially she was very interested in it. Then she wasn't. Then she was again. Then she wasn't. She never signed it. Literally the bare minimum - attack MAGA Mike Rogers, the guy who would have been running against you had you won the primary. And that was over a month ago. This is nothing new. This is just who Haley is. By the way, here's the Op-Ed that she wouldn't let me publish.

Facts are the Wild has made the best offer for Dylan Larkin. No one else has come close. Yes, Detroit is holding Larkin hostage. I would guess it will be a while longer until the Wings are competitive again. #mnwild

one thing I'm noticing about these hometown remix jerseys is how traditional the striping is on almost all of them. you'd think this program would be a chance to experiment a bit, esp since almost all the ones we've seen are ugly as sin anyway

Elliotte Friedman: Re Dylan Larkin holdout/Red Wings: One of my working theories is that Pat Brisson/Larkin are aware of an offer they deem acceptable, even if that feeling is not shared by interim GM Shawn Horcoff - Sportsnet (10/30)

🗣️

this is obv a delicate topic but there's no real reason to expect fans to be "pro-player." obviously the vast majority of fans are going to be pro-the team they cheer for. especially if the player wants to leave the city the fans live in in large part bc he thinks it sucks
