If a bill were introduced in the Tennessee legislature to rename Nashville’s airport Dolly Parton International, it would pass unanimously.
Let’s make it happen, fellow Tennesseans.
JD Vance is currently the frontrunner to win the GOP nomination AND the presidency in 2028 on @FanduelPredicts but I have some serious doubts about his strength as a candidate
@ChrisCillizza Hmmm, I didn’t know he was still looking at running. I’m not sure he has an obvious constituency to start from. He won’t be seen as MAGA enough for that crowd nor normie enough for the chamber of commerce set.
Quite the midterm message Trump is sending voters this week: Bond market manipulation is causing Treasury Secretary to lose credibility on Wall Street. People are dying of a disease we had once basically eradicated until RFK Jr was handed the public health baton and this in today’s NYT: “Hegseth’s Purge of Top Generals Leaves the Army Rudderless”. Oh and we are in a trade war with Canada.
After less than a month as President, Ronald Reagan watches Dolly Parton at Camp David in "9 to 5" on Valentine's Day 1981, and writes one complaint into his diary:
Just like a 10yo having a temper tantrum, he would rather destroy the Kennedy Center than see it left standing without his name on it. The incredibly shrinking Trump (in persona, not actual size) somehow gets smaller
Join me, @ChrisCillizza, and @DecisionDeskHQ TONIGHT at 7 PM ET as we break down the results in real time, including the big South Carolina GOP Senate runoff and what the night tells us about Trump’s endorsement power heading into the midterms.
We’ll have reporters and political experts joining us throughout the night with analysis from the ground.
📺 LIVE from 7–8:15 PM ET on The Chuck ToddCast YouTube & X, Chris Cillizza’s channels, and Decision Desk HQ.
See you tonight!
.@shashj: The great paradox or irony is that this administration is full of people who are veterans, who experience the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and said, wow, that was a mistake, right? We just wasted a bunch of time, treasure on national morale, and split ourselves wide open ourselves. We should have. Preparing for the threat posed by China in the Pacific.
You have people like Elbridge Colby, the Pentagon's policy chief, who said wrote an entire book on this. And here we are. We see them overseeing a campaign that is cannibalizing American military resources from other parts of the world to resource a conflict that is completely open ended in appears to have no discernible end state.

Dolly started her Imagination Library in honor of her father who couldn’t read. I am where I am today because my grandfather, who had a 4th grade education and couldn’t read, saved money to help pay for my college. East Tennesseans are built differently. 🙏
Looking forward to heading to Frederick, MD, for the inaugural Intellectual Property program at the Weinberg Center!
We’ll dig into the midterms, the changing media landscape, the future of journalism, and where our democracy may be headed—with plenty of time for audience questions. The conversation will also be recorded for a new PBS/Amazon series.
Hope to see some of you there! Tickets & info: https://t.co/LdENTr9QCn
SCOOP: Republican House candidate Ralph Alvarado is pivoting his message, editing his website to remove Trump mentions and delete a photo of them together.
From “America First Fighter” to “Independent Leadership.”
Trump won KY06 by 15 pts.
