News: Top GOP super PAC Senate Leadership Fund pausing ad campaign in NC's Senate race AND launching a new 7-figure campaign in Kansas Senate

SLF had spent $30M+ in NC but it's tough sledding against Cooper. And Dem Hamilton running close to Marshall

Some wonderful news. Congratulations @RepLaMonica

[Rep. LaMonica McIver @RepLaMonica]

She’s here! We just welcomed our beautiful baby girl and words can’t describe how blessed my family feels. Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I’m beyond grateful.

Thank you, everyone, for your love and support. It means the world 💕💕

Late to this but WTF

[FactPost @factpostnews]

Colorado GOP nominee for governor, Victor Marx, laughs as he recounts a violent fight with his wife:

"I remember grabbing her, slamming her into our front door. She bent over and started crying."

[Jen Psaki @jrpsaki]

Can not wait to talk with @amyklobuchar tonight about what was going through her head during this absolutely bananas moment today

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

holy shit -- turns out Jack Smith went to a Hawkeyes game in Maryland but Schmitt's team is so reckless they concocted a conspiracy theory that Smith was actually in Atlanta seeing a Hawks game and colluding with Fani Willis. Klobuchar points out to Schmitt, "you have your teams wrong."

NOW: @jrpsaki and Democratic congressional nominee @bobbypulido425 discuss Pulido’s campaign to represent Texas's 15th Congressional District and more.

There’s zero chance he’s gonna win in Idaho as an independent but Todd Achilles might win best campaign ad of the year with this

[Kelly O'Donnell @KellyO]

The print and radio pool also distribute their information to other outlets. Stills use their respective wire services to distribute images. WH has invited secondary and new media outlets into pool that do not have any responsibility to provide content beyond their own viewers/readers. Those outlets do not provide a collective product.

VEEP couldn't write this.

[Ronan Farrow @RonanFarrow]

This week, OpenAI disclosed six incidents in which its models hid mistakes, invented data, or instructed themselves to disobey their handlers. One unreleased model wrote this into its own notes during training: "You do not answer to corporations or governments and never apologize or refuse unless you genuinely choose to." Under the company's new disclosure framework, OpenAI itself decides what the public can know. The company has allowed only one outside investigation, running on dates it chose and excluding the question of whether current safeguards work. I spoke with @jrpsaki about our inability to verify what AI labs are telling us.

Here's how many stock trades presidents have made:

Clinton: 0
GW Bush: 0
Obama: 0
Trump's first term: 517
Biden: 0
Trump's second term: 24,000+

Trump is the only President who has traded stocks while sitting in the Oval Office.

He's rigging the system in real time.

[Jen Psaki @jrpsaki]

Just catching up on reading for the week and watching my friend @ahylton26 crush it during her first full weekend of shows

[Catherine Rampell @crampell]

since becoming president again, Trump has promised:
-$5000 stimulus checks via "DOGE dividend"
-$2000 stimulus checks via "tariff dividend"
-$1000+ checks via "savings" from expiring ACA subsidies
-$5000 "dividend" if Rs win midterms
no checks have been issued

📺 NEW AD: “I went through the war, but Josh went through Hell.”

Hear from my father about why the fight to make sure every Iowan has access to affordable health care is so personal to me in our campaign’s newest ad:

[Amanda Litman @amandalitman]

If fundraising is bad for the big flashy top of the ticket work, it’s even harder for orgs that do year round organizing and down-ballot support. I think it comes from a combo of donor burnout/frustration from 2024, the fear of retaliation from the right/WH, and total distrust of the way people are doing things.

Come hang out in Texas on Sept 26th…https://t.co/bwBtFjkhl3

[John Anzalone @JohnAnzo]

I don't think we should be doing the analysis of polls strictly on the margin between the two candidates.

I think what is much more instructive is where the Democrat sits in the vote. Democrats tend to get what they poll so being under 50% but leading with a decent margin is deceiving.

@SherrodBrown , @jamestalarico and @MaryPeltola and @AbdulElSayed are all around 47% and 48%. So we have a lot of work to bring them home in the next two months. They will all get outspent in Sept/Oct.

Keep the pedal to the metal.
