If it’s wrong when Rs do it, it’s wrong when Dems do it. I trust my Dem friends will call this out…
Democrats in PA are openly defying court rulings from the state’s Supreme Court to benefit Bob Casey. “People violate laws any time they want,” the Bucks County Commissioner said as she cast a vote Thursday to count certain deficient provisional ballots previously barred by…
You came to a place of Jewish worship, stood on the Bhima, near the holy Torah scroll, and pretended to be congregants. You have no shame, no decency, and no clue what you’re talking about.
Journalist @DanaBashCNN's disbelief when confronted with facts about Israel’s policies raises a critical question: If you’re informing the public, Dana, shouldn’t you start by informing yourself? If not, you are just being a mouthpiece for the genocide in Gaza.
Sure, but also no Republican has won an AG race since 1896. Well before TikTok!
This one race has something for everyone: the winning Dem is a TikTok star while the losing Republican was the lead author of the 2016 bathroom bill.
1. Why isn’t this a bigger story? Had Trump paid someone at Fox… 2. Was a Sharpton interview worth 500k compared to spending that on air/digital in any swing state?
Kamala Harris gave $500,000 to MSNBC anchor's nonprofit before network's fawning interview trib.al/4Dyjcyu
Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris will reopen to the public on Dec. 7 with a globally broadcast ceremony followed by a string of Masses, concerts and other events. Last week, Notre-Dame’s bells rang together for the first time since the fire in 2019. nyti.ms/3ALMV8X
So they’re that dumb then? Because anyone could see it coming…
.@stephen_neukam reports: Dems tell Schumer they felt ambushed by GOP ads on transgender people axios.com/2024/11/15/sen…
Stephen DeMaura is a pro’s pro. This is a great hire.
New: Tim Scott and his team are expected to tap Mike Pence's campaign manager for his 2024 presidential race to run the NRSC. And Trumpworld and some Senate Republicans are not too happy about it. w/ @Alex_Roarty notus.org/2026-election/…
Numbers aren’t names…
WSJ: One person familiar with the conversations among Republican senators said “significantly more than four” are opposed to Gaetz, which would be enough to tank his chances. Other estimates ranged to more than 30 "no"s. “It won’t even be close,” another person said.…
A solid and sane pick.
Trump announces that Former Rep Doug Collins will serve as Secretary of Veteran Affairs
“Does not intend to” doesn’t mean will not. Still maintains floor privileges.
.@RepMattGaetz resignation is read in the House of Representatives: "I do not intend to take the oath of office for the same office in the 119th Congress to pursue the position of Attorney General in the Trump Administration."
A self-created problem with staffing a Dem campaign in 2024: anything you do may cause speak truth to power staff to write an open letter attacking their own candidate, or the union to strike after their mandated 2-hour lunch and sensitivity training.
new: a Kamala campaign adviser explains why she didn't go on Joe Rogan: ft.com/content/9292db… from @FTJFranklin & me
This means: -Gaetz would still have floor privileges as an ex-Member -Ethics investigation would halt (though the report, if there is one, could be released). -Gaetz would be sworn-in again in January unless he declines.
NEWS: Multiple sources tell RCP that Rep. @MattGaetz is expected to resign his House seat ahead of a contentious confirmation battle to be Trump's attorney general.
Kevin goes to Florida to see Trump. Gaetz launches moves to deny, then oust Kevin. Trump rewards Gaetz with DOJ. A morality tale for the ages.

So no matter what's happening in politics, can't we all just have a potluck? @juliamoskin reports from DC. nytimes.com/2024/11/12/din… via @NYTimes
Should have? She was the VP of an unpopular administration…
.@MichaelRStrain: Vice President Harris could — and probably should — have won last week's election. I see five reasons why Ms. Harris and her party were so soundly defeated by President Trump and the Republicans. trib.al/6LVjYZD
Bill is a pro and all-around great guy.
More transition news: Trump taps former White House aide Bill McGinley as White House counsel
I can’t think of a dumber, stupider idea than mounting a challenge to @SpeakerJohnson !! RJC is #TeamJohnson!
NEWS: HFC Rep. Chip Roy tells me and @AnnieGrayerCNN it “seems likely” Speaker Johnson will have a challenger tomorrow I asked if it is going to be him who challenges SMJ, and he said: I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. We will see.
