Proud Tri Valley millennial, Obama/Clinton New Democrat that’s trying hard hard to bring Dems back to sanity in a world where we need it more than ever.
Inbox: Rand Paul says he will become the top Republican on the HELP committee next year
Rand is currently top R on HSGAC, but because of seniority can move to HELP
David Axelrod, former Obama senior adviser:
You look at these DSA candidates who've been elected. With one exception that I can think of, they've been elected from deep-blue, often urban districts.
They are not the dominant voice. I think Hakeem Jeffries has a lot of maneuverability here in making sure that the loudest voices don't become the dominant voices.
I don't think that's where the Democratic Party is going. I don't think a DSA candidate is going to be the nominee of the Democratic Party.
I don't think that we're on the verge of a kind of DSA takeover of the Democratic Party. No.
CUAD (cofounded by incoming Congresswoman Darializa) calls Elias Rodriguez a political prisoner.
His crime wasn’t protest. He murdered a Jewish couple on the street as they left a party at the Capital Jewish Museum in DC.
According to TF1, the campaign managers for Gabriel Attal (RE), Bruno Retailleau (LR) and David Lisnard’s (NE) teams are due to meet on Tuesday 17 November to discuss the organisation of a right-wing primary for the presidential election.
NEW by @l_e_whyte me:
- RFK Jr. sailed around Greece with businessman Gavin de Becker, a security consultant and anti-vaxx/ketamine-therapy advocate, on his luxury yacht
- The trip adds to the $250K+ in gifts from De Becker that we first reported earlier this year
- Democratic senators are opening a probe into the gifts based on our earlier reporting
🚨 NEW: The Lib Dems have published an open letter to Green Party members urging them to defect
“If nature and climate is why you got into politics, you have a home with us"
"Many of the smarter Republican candidates didn't necessarily want the Trump endorsement even in the primary, because they knew what a liability it would be in the general," a Nevada Republican politician told me.

ABC News: Trump Moves to Drop Millions From SNAP
The Trump administration on Tuesday moved to kick millions of people from SNAP — commonly known as food stamps — and other government assistance programs for vulnerable families

1/ Democrats are about to learn the reality of the GOP mess they are now going to be blamed for. All the freshman selfies and back-patting will fade and the grim reaper will be at the door when the rural hospitals close and millions of Americans lose their health care.
NEW: The Trump administration has followed through on threats to strip Medicaid funding from Minnesota in its anti-fraud offensive. https://t.co/Yea0v43Xvv
Exc: Raheem Kassam to launch 12-man strong website, aimed at taking disillusioned Telegraph subscribers
Former Farage aide expected to base it on the old Breitbart London model

The GA GOP seems to have accepted that Medicaid expansion either happens on terms favorable to them or if Dems flip the state senate in 28 it happens on their terms
The Georgia GOP published a (surprisingly conciliatory) post-election report on Monday full of ideas for compromise. RNC committeeman Jason Thompson said it looks like “AI-written pro-Bottoms talking points for the democrats.” #gapol
Karl Rove lays the defeat of the party he helped build at the feet of Ken Paxton, telling me he was the albatross around the rest of the ticket.

My @nytimes essay today: "The Reaganites must also struggle with their own baggage, filled with the failures that led voters to abandon them for Mr. Trump in the first place. If Paul Ryan and Dick Cheney are your answers, what was the question?"

A week after the greatest political wipeout of our lifetimes, Schumer and Jeffries are…
-Allowing Dems to stay home for Hegseth’s impeachment vote
-Supporting a GOP-backed permitting reform deal that would ram data centers and Big Oil into our neighborhoods
Got it.
