In Hannibal, Thomas Harris’ sequel to The Silence of the Lambs, he titles a chapter, “Notable Occasions on the Calendar of Dread,” and that’s always stuck with me.

Somewhat unrelated, the 2026 Fiscal Session begins at noon today.

—and each time we dismiss it with a wave of the hand or chalk it up as behavior unique to him, we make it clear to our friends, enemies, children that such behavior is okay. (2/2)

I’m not sure there’s anything to be said that hasn’t been said about this president being wholly unfit for the office he serves, but his comments today are among the most dire I can recall. No country that wants to be taken seriously or lead would tolerate such behavior— (1/2)

Happy birthday to Senator Clarke Tucker of Little Rock.

Our thoughts go out to Congressman Womack and his family. https://t.co/bAjhkKS6Df

It wasn’t great.

Arguably the most devastating day of Packers football since the 2014 NFC Championship game. A disaster of a day. No way around it.

Good evening.

🚨New: Indiana Republicans ignored threats on their lives and rejected President Donald Trump’s demand that they gerrymander the state’s House map to help protect the party’s majority in next year’s midterms.

Dumping @PBS programming is a massive mistake that will rob kids and families all across Arkansas of quality, educational programming.

What an absolute, embarrassing shame.

(3/3)

[Greg Leding @GregLeding]

I cannot imagine not having PBS available. When I was a kid, we had two channels: AETN (as it was known at the time) and the local ABC affiliate. I grew up with Sesame Street, Electric Company, 321 Contact, Doctor Who, and more. (1/3)

[Greg Leding @GregLeding]

During the pandemic, @ArkansasPBS was an incredible resource and essential viewing for our young daughter, not yet in school at the time. Sesame Street, Wildcrats, Esme and Roy, Arthur, Elinor Wonders Why, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood…. (2/3)

Good evening.

A Democrat hasn’t won Miami’s mayor’s race in three decades—until tonight.

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

BREAKING:

The AP calls the Miami mayor's race for Democrat Eileen Higgins.

Higgins defeated a Trump-endorsed Republican — becoming the first Democrat in nearly three decades to win the office.

Happy birthday to friend, House colleague, and my soon-to-be Senate successor Representative Denise Garner of Fayetteville.

[Greg Leding @GregLeding]

Potato soup on the stove. Fire in the fireplace. Cold beer in hand. Bears-Packers on the TV, and Green Bay’s up by 11. My guy won the F1 title this morning. Not a bad Sunday.

That ball briefly left Earth’s atmosphere.

10 years ago today...

Still surprised this ball didn't hit the roof of Ford Field.

A 22-point margin in November 2024, down to about an 8-point margin tonight.

[Taniel @Taniel]

The AP called TN-07 for Matt Van Epps, the Republican nominee.

He is leading by 7.5% as the count winds down (98% reporting); his lead will inch up a tiny bit but roughly there. The GOP won the district by 22% in 2024.

[Greg Leding @GregLeding]

Good evening.

JUST IN: Democrats have flipped the mayor's office in Roswell, Georgia, in tonight's runoff.

GOP Mayor Kurt Wilson conceded earlier tonight to Mary Robichaux, the Dem challenging him.

(This is a city in the Atlanta suburbs, the 9th most populous city in Georgia.)
