My lukewarm take on this story is that it’s more about the deprofessionalizing effect of underfunding Hill offices than anything else. I’m sure Peltola was being ironic in the worst of this. Say what you will about that, texts with your boss should not look like a dudes groupchat
SCOOP: Inside the tumult of Mary Peltola's Senate campaign in Alaska and her time on Capitol Hill.
Peltola is known publicly as kind and affable. But aides recall angry outbursts, slurs and a shove. (She also required staff to feed a pet chameleon.)

I reported that a DA had a "fighting antisemitism" page on his campaign website that highlights his felony prosecution of Palestine student protestors.After defense attys dug up more evidence of conflict, the DA was recused––a rare outcome.
Now the state AG has dropped the case.

This is a huge NYT investigation into how Russia uses shell companies and Tether, a crypto coin, to evade sanctions and buy arms.
What it doesn't mention is that the main U.S. backer of Tether is Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Howard Lutnick's sons. nytimes.com/2026/09/24/busin…

⭕️ Texas counties are receiving backlogs of unprocessed voter registration applications dating back to October 2025 after a Texas Department of Public Safety error prevented some registrations and updates submitted through its online driver’s license portal from reaching county registrars, Votebeat first reported.
Travis County received about 32,000 applications overnight, bringing its total to 35,000, while Collin County was reportedly analyzing more than 40,000 additional records.
DPS said “the system issue has been resolved” but has not disclosed what caused it or its full scope, and began delivering the backlogged registrations to counties Tuesday night.

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward apologizing to Lina Khan
NEW: In 2024, Wes Moore went on a limb siding with Reid Hoffman and other big donors who wanted Lina Khan out at the FTC.
