I remind people that this is the funniest thing a politician (that I've covered, at least) has ever done cnn.com/2026/07/30/politics/…
2013 LePage: "Sen. Jackson claims to be for the people but he's the first one to give it to the people without providing Vaseline ... This man is a bad person. He doesn't only have no brains, he has a black heart." Those Troy Jackson/Paul LePage flights into DC are going to be something... wmtw.com/article/vaseline-co…

Pro tip: AI detection software is bad at detecting AI. There is no software or program that is consistently accurate or good at doing so, according to AI experts. It is why we need a version of watermarks and other verification layers.

👋 A new chapter in DC starts today, and @CNN will cover every development. My work focuses on holding politicians to account and reporting sensitively on sexual misconduct in politics. Staffers, members, consultants: pls reach out! Signal’s in bio, and I treasure source trust

“Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, the famously anti-Trump GOP lawmaker, told CNN he plans to trigger a vote to impeach Hegseth when Congress returns next week — and multiple GOP sources said they expect it to pass.” cnn.com/2026/11/04/politics/…

Rogers was one of several canditates in our 2024 report on Republicans running from their past hardline anti-abortion views. He said abortion should be legal “only to prevent the death of the mother,” in 2010 and backed bans repeatedly.
I have been clear about this issue time and time again and I will not allow Abdul to lie about my position. This decision is one of the hardest decisions a woman will make in her entire life and it should be handled with her family and her doctor. Period. The Michigan voters went to the ballot box and made a woman’s right to choose part our State Constitution and as Michigan’s next Senator I will never go to Washington and overturn the will of the Michigan people.

NEW: KFILE travelled to PA to interview Congressman Rob Bresnahan about his past as a ghost hunter -- and how it all but vanished from one corner of the internet. As always, though, we have the receipts, including a viral video... cnn.com/2026/10/30/politics/… youtube.com/watch?v=aBWxz0G_…

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. nytimes.com/2026/10/28/us/po…

No matter how many tweets Abdul deletes, we all know the truth: Abdul has completely turned his back on our law enforcement.
