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.
My Congressional district (PA-01) was just won by a Democrat.
It’s been red for many years.
There’s a chance I form an exploratory committee in the next few weeks and truly begin to look into that race.
If I don’t think it’s winnable for someone who has been so openly outspoken, I won’t enter and waste people’s time… but I’m genuinely considering it.
We won't know exactly what heterodoxy will look like in the incoming Democratic majority in congress, but none of the new faces seem likely behave anything like Manchin or Sinema, the odious pro-corporate moderates that plagued the last Dem majority.
I had a GOP congressman lament to me Florida could have drawn a 22R-6D map that left every incumbent safe, but instead reached for a 24R-4D map that left everyone fighting for their lives.
In Florida, the delegation stayed 20R-8D, same as 2024, but it cost millions to break even.
Fascinating exchange between Squawk Box host and Nikki Haley.
Host: "You just said that everyone knew that [ICE was] overreaching. And I did not hear Republicans for the past two years say publicly, out loud, that they believed that ICE was overreaching..."
Former House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), quoted by MS NOW, on fellow Ohioan Jim Jordan (R-OH) in 2021.
“I just never saw a guy who spent more time tearing things apart, never building anything, never putting anything together.”

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.
