Remember when a lot of us said watering down safe GOP districts to try to gain more seats could backfire spectacularly?

We obviously don’t know what will happen on Tuesday yet, but that scenario is on a lot of GOP pollsters’ minds right now.

[Jon Ralston @RalstonReports]

Clark just posted 6K mail ballots as returned. When they are accepted, Ds will gain about 1,700 more ballots over the Rs, wiping out any in-person gains in Washoe and the rurals. Ds will win in-person again in Clark, too.

I'll post on the blog later.

WaPo reports that a woman featured in a $1 million Republican ad warning that an Iowa Democrat running for congress is “dangerous” for children previously pleaded guilty to child endangerment after driving drunk with her two young kids in the car. https://t.co/zbvrlOBkDr

So Zelensky took out a major Russian bot farm and social media traffic on X and other sites dropped by 50%. HALF of the traffic on social media is nothing but Russian propaganda bots and trolls.

Things that make you go hmmmm.

[Stuart Budd @StuartBudd1]

Russia used 150,000 Twitter accounts for Brexit

There was 45,000 tweets with the majority encouraging people to vote Leave a few days before the 2016 vote

These accounts had previously focused on Russia's annexation of Crimea, before focusing on Brexit

Genuinely very funny the second this hit, the amount of Alberta separatist accounts fell off the face of the earth, lmfao

By destroying Russian data centers, Ukraine is helping Americans way more than we are helping them right now.

[Frank Luntz @FrankLuntz]

Russian bot traffic has plummeted after Ukrainian drone strikes knocked out Russian tech giant @Yandex’s biggest data centers.

@Cloudflare reports that bot traffic from the Yandex network has dropped to just 0.4% of the maximum number of HTTP requests recorded over the past two weeks.

Two hours after Donald Trump announced Russia and Ukraine had agreed to a mutual energy ceasefire, Russia launched a cruise missile attack on Kharkiv’s CHP-5 thermal power plant.

[David Frum @davidfrum]

Another way to think about Trump announcement today: If he increased US diesel imports from Canada by 4%, he would gain as much fuel as from this Russia deal. But the Canadians are global super-villains, so who wants to buy from them when you could enrich Putin instead?

Just to emphasize, this nonprofit affordable housing exec said she had 3 conversations with national lenders in the past week where they all called DC a ‘red flag’ for any kind of investment
