No one should be punished for what they write, but you don’t get to call yourself an objective reporter when you refer to a driver as a “sneaky little bastard” and a team principal as a “tubby little nobody” while openly admitting you don’t like him.

A tubby little nobody called Fred Vasseur, the Ferrari team principal, has grassed on me, it seems. He's a chuckling buffoon well out of his depth: JONATHAN McEVOY https://t.co/nXxSaGJQ1y

Terrible news. Having been Gadi’s booker for nearly two years before my own layoff last year, I know firsthand how talented this team is. Led by EP Lisa Crivelli, they put together a genuinely smart and compelling show every night. Wishing them all the best.

NBC News will cease airing original programming on its “NBC News Now” streamer during primetime as part of a review of its resources, according to a person familiar with the matter, a move that will result in the elimination of some positions...

Outgoing Speaker Mike Johnson: I’m sorry that the voters made the wrong choice.

[Manu Raju @mkraju]

Asked Speaker Johnson if Trump should course correct after last week’s sweeping losses:

“I’m not going to tell the president how to do his job,” he told me. “I’m sorry that the voters made the wrong choice. I really do believe that this next two years is going to be a bit of a circus. It’s going to be chaos …. and that’s a great tragedy.”

Republicans, he said, would have “stayed on course.”

Susie Wiles out as White House Chief of Staff.  Harmeet Dhillon leaving Assistant AG for Civil Rights. Watch for how many admin officials leave government before the next Congress.

[Susie Wiles @SusieWiles47]

Today is my last day as White House Chief of Staff.  

Serving President Trump in the White House has been the honor of a lifetime. I’m so proud to have been a part of what we’ve accomplished together from securing our border and cutting taxes to strengthening our economy and putting America First.

More than anything, I’m grateful for the extraordinary people I’ve had the privilege of working alongside. While my role may be changing, my commitment to the President and the mission never will.

Who would have expected this combination of states would be the final three Senate races yet to be called -- Mississippi, Nebraska and Alaska?

Democrats have flipped seven seats and will have control of the Senate come January.

Per @jdavidgoodman, Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa and Senator-elect James Talarico are celebrating at a Whataburger across from Talarico’s victory party.

[Stephen Sanchez @SSanchezTV]

Now that Texas has elected Governor Gina Hinojosa and Senator James Talarico, who leads the GOP's bench build for the next cycle? Brandon Gill is a name I'm watching.

The Senate Majority Leader who will be in the minority come January.

[Leader John Thune @LeaderJohnThune]

Over the last two years, Senate Republicans have put up a strong record of accomplishment that’s created safer streets, more money in Americans’ pockets, and new opportunities for families and businesses to get ahead. After fighting Democrat obstruction at every turn, we prevented the largest tax hike in American history, secured our border in an unprecedented way, confirmed the president’s Cabinet at the fastest pace in two decades, and put strong conservative judges on benches across the country faster than we have since the Reagan administration. I’m proud of our team and everything we’ve done for the American people, and I’m looking forward to the important work we have in front of us over the next few months. As we head into 2027, Senate Republicans will not stand idly by as the far-left, socialist wing of the Democrat Party attempts to unwind everything we’ve done. Thankfully, we still have President Trump in the White House, and we’ll work with him to stop the worst impulses of Democrat extremism. We cannot let their fringe positions become the mainstream.
