Jacob is an exceedingly kind human and terrific reporter that I was honored to share a newsroom with
.@POTUS absolutely DESTROYS Fake News @jacobbogage:
"You are a SICK guy! Reuters is terrible, by the way. Look at this guy — he's way out of shape... You are disgusting. Put yourself in shape. You look like hell." 🤣🤣🤣

Republicans are counting on Trump to bring GOP voters home ... but his poll numbers keep falling, and he keeps highlighting many of the traits and issues that have turned voters off.

Time for some game theory
It’s Nov. 4
Dems have won NC, ME, TX, KS, OH, but lost MI, MN
All of DC is waiting for an Alito-written opinion on the contested Alaska Senate race
Every Senate Democrat is wearing a hoodie on the floor in honor of their new leader, John Fetterman
Caught up with Josh Shapiro last weekend as he tries to show he can win in places that most Democrats can’t …
“In many ways he’s given the middle finger to the people who voted for him,” Josh Shapiro says of Trump.
How he's trying to win over voters in rural + conservative parts of PA - and make a potential statement for 2028:

what a quote
wsj.com/politics/elections/a…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The quote is from retiring Nevada Rep. Mark Amodei (R-NV) about a House candidate, per WSJ and local reporting. It is not from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei.

Most people are still barely competent at driving on the road
Elon Musk unveiled Tesla's long-awaited Roadster on Thursday, claiming the electric sports car can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in less than a second, reach speeds of 230 mph and even fly. The vehicle reportedly uses thrusters to achieve its extreme acceleration, though details about its flight capabilities remain unclear. Tesla says production is expected to begin in 2028, with no price announced.
Among the districts just moved from toss up to tilt D by Inside Elections + @JacobRubashkin :
PA7 and PA8
People in parties have long said PA7 is the most likely flip in PA. The 8th looked better for Rs based on the district demographics - would be a major flip if it happens

“What about us?”
This captures Laura Lytle so perfectly. She yelled it on 1/6 to Capitol Police on Senate floor during evacuation, getting us & staff to safety.
I recall it so clearly. Yet it’s how she approached her job with us every day. RIP.

Fox News poll:
Top concerns:
1. Corruption in government
2. Inflation and high prices
3. Gas prices
Early in my time covering Congress the Senate was doing Senate stuff and I asked Laura what was happening and she explained the Senate is basically Calvinball - they can make up the rules as they go.
So much of the job clicked into place for me after that
This is so sad. Laura was fantastic. A tremendous resource to reporters covering the Senate and just very very kind.
This is such a gutting loss. We love you, Laura. The absolute best of the best. rollcall.com/2026/10/15/jour…

Woke 2 is craaaazy
Me and Ilhan Omar are far apart policy wise. I’m pro life, she’s pro abortion. I’m pro 2A, she’s pro gun control. And on and on.
But can someone tell me how pretending to get ready to deport Ilhan Omar is going to bring gas down under $2, make health insurance freaking affordable, make a family’s weekly grocery bill make sense, and stop sending our beloved military off to fight for another fucking foreign war???
People are so sick and tired of the bullshit.
When you dumb mf’ers at the WH actually release the Epstein files and lock up the pedophiles and rapists you all hang out with, then we will start paying attention.
Until then 🖕.
