Not in the screenshot, but will be interesting to see what final swing is in Williamson part of district. Could be instructive for potential suburban seats in TX and NC, TX Senate and to a lesser extent some IN seats.

Gotta use your SkyMiles to get up to MQT and drive over to Whitefish Point to the (excellent) Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum. Glass bottom boat tours of shipwreck sites are awesome too.

The entire Upper Peninsula is stunning.

Precision ag is so cool. When do we tell you about the self-driving tractors?

One of a select number of places that’s better than the pictures.

Extremely jealous. Enjoy and have fun!

Half being outside the U.S. isn’t surprising when one of the fighters is arguably the most popular athlete in the tenth-most populous country.

Remember GM's chief economist speaking at the Chicago Fed's forecast symposium back in December 2021. She said 75% of the company's employees were working on EVs.

I know you're a big solar/storage fan. Out here, onshore wind still makes sense economically.

A majority of my electricity comes from wind, and our utilities experience 46% fewer outages, and when they do they're 54% shorter. And we have some of the lowest rates in the country.

TBD. Pitch clock and extra innings improvements are great. Oakland/Tampa Bay: not great.

His legacy is going to be defined by two other big things:
1. MLB may be having its own injury issues with pitchers a la the NBA

2. Media rights after leaving ESPN
