NEW!! GOP Sen. Kevin Cramer says he received a briefing today from Air Force Sec. Troy Meink on Starshield, raising concerns over U.S. reliance on SpaceX.

“Fighting wars” can’t be so dependent on private companies, he says.

"Senator Klobuchar, now your opening statement?"

"lol after that I'll just pass, thanks."

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

yikes -- Lisa Demuth struggled just to get through her opening statement during her debate with Amy Klobuchar, losing her train of thought and taking looooooooong pauses while she tried to figure out what she was saying

[Max Steele @maxasteele]

A funnier joke would've been for her to turn to Demuth and say "Look, I know these things are nerveracking and you're new to this, so how about I cede my opening statement time to you, and you can try yours again."

What’s the most underrated skill in political consulting?

Can't script this: A week after TX-34 candidate Eric Flores sent a cease-and-desist to take down a Dem ad showing him next to Trump, the WH announces POTUS will be going to ... TX-34

I actually think Netflix is suffering right now for the opposite reason.

A genuine political problem for both Vance and Vivek is that, unlike Trump, neither of them quite has the stomach to be as unapologetically, leeringly cruel as the MAGA base demands.

@mattklewis They've largely alienated themselves from electoral politics since no one has filled in the vacuum left by the NRA, but his love/hate relationship with the 2A orgs. New ATF rules help Don Jr's GrabAGun become the "Amazon of guns" at the expense of mom and pop retail gun stores.

Q: Do you tell Elon Musk to bring back Starlink for Ukraine?

TRUMP: I don't want to say. I don't want to comment on it. The bottom line is he put it back

In 2024, Trump complained bitterly that Jack Smith violated the 60-day rule by filing a motion -- even though the deadline was dictated by SCOTUS... Blanche was his lawyer at the time.

One slight obstacle: DOJ has no legal authority over the certification of election results.

If we are being honest about this cycle it’s that GOP $ have been a necessity to hold senate races in KS, SC and TX. MN would be a generational win with a fraction of the investment but you can’t do it with deep red states on a “make a wish” campaign. SLF or MAGA can’t be blamed
