Having seen the texts messages and heard from former Roger Marshall staffers, I can tell you multiple people characterized Marshall’s chief of staff, Brent Robertson, as a guy testing the limits.
As one former staffer put it: “When you eat with Brent, he pulls out his wallet, and a card comes out, and it’s never his.”

So we published our @MSNOWNews Senate race ratings:

Easily the most important result of Tuesday. This is about the best poll you can have going into November. It’s ACTUAL voters and the fact Peltola is thisclose to 50 in round 1, one could justify shifting this race already to lean Dem from tossup. And remember, if Dems win AK and it’s a 50-50 senate, are you sure Lisa M. stays caucusing with the GOP? She cares a LOT about what the voters of Alaska want and I could picture her justifying the switch because it’s what ALASKA voters wanted.

They got there through phone calls w/ almost 10K voters over the first 6 months of this year. Here’s what they found:

Gotta say the moderators of the @WISN12News debate tonight were good. Thanks for giving me some pointers @mattsmith_news and @GerronJordan.
Didn't expect a @Beyonce reference during the @WISN12News Dem gov candidate primary debate.
(I'm told by our producer on the ground @DidiMartinez5 that the candidate was referring to the Bring Your Own New Clean Energy -- BeYONCE -- approach to data centers)
Early surge in fundraising for the Maine democratic senate candidate, but the uphill climb is real.

I wrote another thing that will probably annoy you:
Why the White House Correspondents’ Dinner might still matter in the Trump era. Maybe. ms.now/news/news-analysis/wh…
“@SenSchumer, who has served in Congress since 1981, acknowledged that he has never done this kind of preparation for an election before.”

NEW: When asked if there is intelligence to suggest Trump actually won the 2020 election, John Solomon: “Not yet.”
Solomon is the special govt employee brought in by Trump last month to work with acting DNI Pulte to declassify election material.

New: “It’s that network [Pulte, Solomon] that is the real f***ing problem. They try to put bits & pieces together & then make these conclusions," said admin official who has engaged in deliberations over 2020 intel.

Platner ends campaign: "I'm not trying to dictate to anyone who it should be or how we get there, but I will say this: it needs to be open, transparent, and democratic. ...People in DC need to stay in DC. Decisions should not be made in back rooms..."ms.now/news/graham-platner-s…
The voters of MI, some of whom should already have ballots, watched a debate btwn 2 people that they have to choose from carefully. This isn't solidly blue NYC or a blue district in Colorado. The decision those voters are making are who they think can actually win in Nov.
