Did a little analysis of how the polls performed this year. Polling estimates understated the Democratic margin by at least 2 points in 23 of 27 races for governor and U.S. Senate. The mean understatement across all 27 races was about 4 points. pewresearch.org/short-reads/…

NEW and BREAKING: DOJ is actively pursuing a criminal investigation into SCOTUS Dobbs leak. Investigation is being run by Judge Jeanine. Prosecutors have issued grand jury subpoenas seeking testimony from those who worked at the court. Bottom line: Trump DOJ is examining inner workings of SCOTUS which has long guarded its secrecy and resisted oversight from the other branches. nytimes.com/2026/11/05/us/po…

Merrill College students know their rights as journalists. "Cat Murphy is a master's student at the University of Maryland, credentialed as a reporter for our Capital News Service and doing the job we teach our students to do. Cat recorded openly in a public space alongside other news outlets, and that is her legal right," Dean Rafael Lorente (@DeanLorente) said. "I'm proud of how she handled herself in a difficult situation."

Republican Rep. Andy Harris incorrectly told a reporter they were breaking the law as the reporter and others recorded an exchange with him last night. Harris had just wrapped up a debate with Democratic challenger Dan Schwartz.

I’ve heard “The Ties That Bind” hundreds of times. Then I found this 2005 version — just Bruce, an acoustic guitar and a completely different melody. Less a rocker here, more a man trying to hold on. #BruceSpringsteen #TheTiesThatBind #DevilsAndDust #LiveMusic #ClassicRock #BruceSpringsteen #TheTiesThatBind #DevilsAndDust #LiveMusic #ClassicRock
