Wow, thank you @jewishsf and Sue Fishkoff for such a kind and thoughtful review of Parenting with an Accent and the interview. "It’s tenacious journalism and a terrific read." I'm verklempt... https://t.co/ROUMG33tif

Sometimes you just gotta say ‘Fuck it’ and go for it. 💎

[Mike Gehrke @mikegehrke]

Facts: Research bleeds talent every year. Placing tight budgetary and related constraints on the research process results in less effective polling, messaging and tactics. These are real strategic choices that are risky, and not the way it has to be. (See Oz, Walker, Perdue etc)

[Mike Gehrke @mikegehrke]

Some of my oppo friends will circle the wagons on this, but the part about failing to advance research as a profession and invest in it adequately is true.

Happy Hanukkah and lots of light from hamster Puff Puff! (I don’t actually feed her latkes)

It's Edmund Fitzgerald Day. Time to listen to the goat ballad: https://t.co/qBM5Nley9N

Me: I’m not gonna take on a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty.

She's a legend in the Glass City. Marcy has delivered for her District for decades. Keeps her head down & does the job.

[Dave Wasserman @Redistrict]

Between the thrashings of Dennis Kucinich in ‘12 and J.R. Majewski in ‘22, I think the lesson of Ohio redistricting is: don’t f*** with Marcy Kaptur in Toledo. #OH09

@greg_scanlon @Ms_Alex_W My thought exactly. From Issa’s right hand man during all those inane investigations of Obama to a Dem strategist - what a joke. Nothing but a Lincoln Project grifter

A majority less than 220 and he might not even make it to Speaker McCarthy

[Kirk A. Bado @kirk_bado]

Look, anything less than 225 is going to be tough on a Speaker McCarthy. Less than 220 and it's basically ungovernable.

[Kasie Hunt @kasie]

What Donald Trump has to say about Kevin McCarthy tonight/in the morning is going to be something to watch

[Populism Updates @PopulismUpdates]

lmao

[p.a. simon @pasimon]

lol - *if* GOP pulls it off, they're in for all sorts of fun infighting/finger pointing

[Jacqui Heinrich @JacquiHeinrich]

Second GOP source sees below tweet, texts me “Knives are out for Kevin McCarthy, if he is under 225, expect Scalise to make a move quickly for speaker”

[p.a. simon @pasimon]

Never count out Marcy! #ToledoProud

[Ryan Brune @BruneElections]

Kaptur is going to win by double digits I think.

[Joe Scarborough @ScarboroughNow]

Usually the candidate who runs the great race wins. Not in Ohio. Not tonight. Great fight, @TimRyan. Proud of you!

[p.a. simon @pasimon]

I'm sure all their viewers are going to take this really well....

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

Fox has literally spent the last month telling their audience a massive red wave was *assured*. A foregone conclusion.

Footage coming in from Crime campaign HQ as they celebrate their big win in NY tonight

[p.a. simon @pasimon]

JD Vance was a weak candidate who underperformed. He would have never made it through the primary w/out Trump's nod. I'm sure the big guy took notice - not going to work out well for him, I suspect

[Howard Mortman @HowardMortman]

During his victory speech, J.D. Vance specifically named 34 people for thanks/gratitude.
Trump was not one of them.
