Not to defend Olivia Nuzzi, who broke every rule in journalism and promoted a charlatan to his current position. But it's incredibly telling that she will lose her job, but RFK Jr. gets to stay in his job despite the reports of his drug use, his affairs and his defenestrating of public health.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

TN05 in the general is even more potentially doable so tomorrow we get up and start working for Chaz Molder to win 335 days from now. We rest and we keep building. We hit up d7 backers to phone bank and stuff envelopes and even go knock doors since 5 is part of the same city. We do not quit.

I really, really hope the first-time and young volunteers and donors understand that this one was something to build on.
It's over.
Republican Matt Van Epps will beat Democrat Aftyn Behn in the 7th District special election.
There are not enough votes in Davidson to overcome the lead and other outstanding counties will not make a difference.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

Vice President J.D. Vance's motorcade was involved in a crash last night that sent a police officer to the hospital in critical condition — and the White House is silent.
Vance hasn't even bothered to tweet him well wishes...
Even, "Thoughts and prayers" would be something.
