Republicans had a tough night last night. We lost great Senators in hard races. In Alaska and Mississippi, we continue to fight.
There are clear lessons to be learned from the results. First, we should listen to what voters unmistakably said last night. Their priorities must always come first. Our job is to forcefully act on them. Senate Republicans have an opportunity and obligation to show our voters that we are fighting for them.
In the Senate, we will aggressively oppose terrible ideas that drive our country toward the socialism Democrats embraced. Our commitment is to common sense. And our focus should not waiver from the top priority of driving down prices that have remained stubbornly too high.
I’m here for the fight. I know my colleagues are too.

.@AbdulElSayed says it’s ok for MEN to be in girl’s locker rooms.
Why?
“Well because they are going to find out about it on the internet anyway”
Completely unacceptable.

HE'S FLEEING
Daniel J. Sullivan, the independent candidate running for Senate in Alaska whose name is almost identical to the Republican senator running for reelection, left his hometown of Petersburg earlier this week, multiple sources confirmed to CBS News.
One resident and former student of Sullivan's said she saw Sullivan on a flight to Anchorage on Monday — two days before The New York Times first reported that he was recruited by operatives linked to Democrat Mary Peltola's campaign. cbsn.ws/4sAVTfM
"I mean, these people just are, you know, dirty, rotten scoundrels — cheaters," @SenJohnBarrasso said.

The inconsistent spelling in this press release is deeply troubling.
Texas deserves a senator who can spell — not one that hides behind ChatGPT.

Tough to take a lecture on “rigged systems” the day after the New York Times exposed your campaign for stacking the ballot.
Kate Cooksey Noyes retweeted
While some may try to write this off as just how politics works now, ballot-stacking should have no place in our electoral process. Run and win on your merits: your views, your policy ideas, and your accomplishments. By contrast, recruiting candidates to manipulate the field and influence voting outcomes is simply wrong. Alaskans deserve the honest truth from Mary and her campaign—what has been revealed is a pattern of lies and coverups and a culture of deception that belongs nowhere in our elections or among our elected officials.

What we've known all along
Mary Peltola is a liar, and Decoy Dan is a fraud
SCOOP: Democrats have insisted they have nothing to do with the other Dan Sullivan on Alaska's Senate ballot.
But aides with the Mary Peltola campaign and DSCC were part of a monthslong secret plan to recruit him to run -- as well as other candidates.

For decades Democrats have blocked projects to lower energy prices in the Northeast. Their lame attacks aren’t fooling anybody.
Democrats knock GOP opponents over the high cost of home heating oil in @PunchbowlNews PM.
Plus, Warnock wants more focus on Black voters:

News: Barrasso is going to Texas next week for a bus tour with Ken Paxton.
He'll also be in Michigan and (as we previously reported) Kentucky. More about his travels and how he's feeling about the map:

Sen. Susan Collins blasts Troy Jackson over his “shut up” remark, saying his response was “very telling” given his reputation for how he treats women who disagree with him:
“I was struck by how reflexive the response, ‘Oh, shut up,’ was. But then I thought about the reputation that Troy Jackson has in Augusta, particularly when he’s dealing with women with whom he disagrees. So, in some ways, it didn’t surprise me. And the fact that it seemed like such an automatic, quick reply was very telling.”
Odd that Playbook didn’t mention the fate of Beto and Jamie Harrison. Gotta wonder if they ever made it to the Senate for more than a tour? 🤔
