She lost by 100 votes. How you treat your constituents matters.
A 10-year old boy wrote Virginia Foxx a letter as part of a school project. He had to write a persuasive essay and he chose tax credits for electric vehicles. The congresswoman responded by ripping him & his teacher. Last night, voters retired Rep. Foxx.

I know we got a million think pieces on NYC Dem congressional primaries last year. I hope some of the DC/NY press hop on down to WNC to write a few on the lessons Dems can learn from how an old country farmer took a Trump +10 seat and won it by 16.
I'm a patriot who has always been a partner to the land, my community, and Western North Carolina. It’s these deep-rooted values that I'm going to bring to Congress. #NC11 #WNC #WesternNC

Best version of these I've seen. Time your coffee accordingly.
Brilliant & super-helpful visualization of @nytimes’ analysis of states’ speed counting votes by @axios @apantazi. I love a great chart!

NM cruised past lofty renewables goal well ahead of 2030 timeline with largest utility already delivering 80% clean energy — a strong model for other states despite learning curve. "you can lead with clean energy...as you grow and diversify your economy.” bit.ly/4zExoQY

It is tempting, in the Trump era, to question whether the laws of political physics still apply. But they still do. His agenda is extraordinarily unpopular and that will be made very clear in two weeks.

This story is wild. @Georgesantos Part II?
A person listed in FEC records as a major donor to David Flippo’s campaign told Mother Jones they did not donate anything to Flippo—let alone the thousands of dollars attributed to them. That “suggests very serious campaign finance violations." motherjones.com/politics/202…

An absolute legend. So sorry to hear this.
Most on this site probably haven't heard of Mark Gersh, but I worked for him for 18 years, starting as a soph in college. He was a pioneer in political data/targeting, and that industry wouldn't be where it is without the foundation he built. He passed away today. Rest in peace.

Sounds right... "Diesel fumes and the distinct smell of fresh asphalt wafted from a Raleigh industrial plant Wednesday, as leaders from the Chamber of Commerce business lobbying group shouted over the engines of idling dump trucks to announce their support for Republican Michael Whatley in the 2026 U.S. Senate race." wral.com/news/nccapitol/nc-u…

Do you understand how bad you have to mess up for major outlets to be doing primetime interviews with DEMOCRATIC candidates for THE TEXAS RAILROAD COMMISSION
The only color I saw on Saturday night was burnt orange. Glad to speak with @jaketapper tonight on CNN.
