I’ve worked with some fantastic journalists in my 29 years on the job. My pride at @Gabriel_Pogrund knows no bounds for example. But what @RosamundUrwin had to go through to get the Brand allegations past the lawyers and over the line is of a different order from anything I’ve ever achieved in this job. She is brave, principled, a great reporter, a beautiful writer and a gutsy human being. I am frankly proud to know her let alone call her a friend. The KC who lost his rag earlier should rot in hell

“I hate myself, Dad. I hate being alive” The rage formed in the space where love should have been has taken victim after victim, as these wounded boys try to assemble their manhood from the scraps of their fathers’ inadequacies.

So the 41 datacenter moratoria across the country are, I predict, going to go 41-0. In nearly every case it's about 67-80% opposing datacenters. True in California, Ohio, everywhere. Read all the results here: dashboard-production-c2fc.up…

Democrats shouldn’t demand Trump staffers be investigated. They should pass a huge anti-corruption package: no free planes, no shakedowns for presidential libraries, no no-bid contracts for friends, no paid-for pardons, no foreign gifts, no family on payroll, no insider trading, etc.

If Mississippi does flip blue for first time since 1982, it will be no small part due to this masterpiece of an election ad.

This contentious interchange between the NY Times and @GinaHinojosaTX was truly amazing. Hinojosa offered one of the best explanations of populism I've ever seen. Her comments were a total rejection of Corporate Dems' neoliberal formula. Her Texas victory is a game changer.

First county on the US-Mexico border goes from Trump +16 to Talarico +59 🤯
