$6 to win the seat. $1 to talk to voters about the issues once the winner takes office. That’s the ratio Cross Screen Media CEO @csouthworth3 sees. Where should the next dollar go: the lobbyist, the ad or the constituent? Full conversation on YouTube ↓

The ads came down last Tuesday. So did most of the money. Cross Screen Media CEO @csouthworth3: “For every six dollars being spent to get somebody elected, we’re spending one dollar to then talk to people about the issues.” @BrodyMullinsDC @CamoosoMiller. On YouTube ↓

What happens when the railroad won’t come? In an emergency, @STB_Newsroom can “order another railroad to bring chlorine cars to that water treatment facility.” Chairman Patrick Fuchs with @BrodyMullinsDC and @CamoosoMiller. Full conversation on YouTube ↓

One rail carload ≈ three or four trucks. One train can run 100 to 150 cars. And on chlorine, @STB_Newsroom Chairman Patrick Fuchs: “I don’t necessarily want to be driving by a series of trucks carrying chlorine. That stuff goes on rail.” Full conversation on YouTube ↓

Same track. Same cement plant. A Class 1 railroad builds with no permit. A short line gets “a 1,000-page, one-year review, $500,000.” As permitting reform heads into the lame duck, @STB_Newsroom Chairman Patrick Fuchs is cutting steps on his own. Full conversation on YouTube ↓

Congress gave rail shippers a competition tool in 1980. In 40-plus years, the board never granted it under its own rules. @STB_Newsroom Chairman Patrick Fuchs wants those rules gone. Protection or paperwork? Full conversation with @BrodyMullinsDC and @CamoosoMiller on YouTube ↓

Nobody regulates the price of a Big Mac. A grain elevator in Montana with one railroad is different. @STB_Newsroom Chairman Patrick Fuchs: “We can only regulate rates for the people that don’t have any other options.” Full conversation on YouTube ↓

Voters decide Congress today. The biggest rail merger in history isn't on the ballot. It goes to @STB_Newsroom, not DOJ or the FTC. Chairman Patrick Fuchs with @BrodyMullinsDC & @CamoosoMiller on who decides. Full conversation on YouTube ↓ https://t.co/MosjVTtgBs

Obama, Clinton & Bush all took summer vacations. “This guy never left.” @teamavoq’s Steve Elmendorf on the question Washington keeps skipping: what comes after Trump, in both parties. Full conversation on YouTube ↓ https://t.co/1AqvVWOfRr

Divided government means gridlock? @teamavoq’s Elmendorf says vulnerable Democrats will want wins before 2028, and the President may deal: “Donald Trump is not a core conservative Republican. He’s a transactional person.” Full conversation on YouTube ↓ https://t.co/1AqvVWOfRr

Health care. Energy prices. Housing. That’s where @teamavoq’s Steve Elmendorf sees room for a Democratic House and President Trump to deal. Deals or gridlock in 2027? Full conversation with @BrodyMullinsDC and @CamoosoMiller on YouTube ↓https://t.co/1AqvVWOfRr

[The Deciders @decidersshow]

If Democrats win the House & White House ignores subpoenas, Congress goes to the companies. @teamavoq’s Steve Elmendorf says they’ll be “squeezed” between an administration saying “Don’t answer them” and a Congress saying “Answer them.” https://t.co/1AqvVWOfRr

A top Democratic lobbyist on money in politics: “There is a qualitative difference between the person who gave you $5 million and the person who gave you $5,000.” @teamavoq’s Steve Elmendorf with @BrodyMullinsDC and @CamoosoMiller on The Deciders. Full conversation on YouTube ↓
