This is pretty fascinating. Mimicking "Mattress Mack," an online bulk ammo dealer is doing a sale where customers get a full credit for their purchase if Republicans hold Congress; then it's hedging that outcome with a Kalshi bet. thereload.com/ammo-dealer-he…

There's something weird/interesting going on with the DNC's late-cycle digital ads strategy. They've of course run thousands of ads since the summer, including hundreds boosting Dem candidates in 10 battleground senate races (MI, GA, NH, MN, AK, ME, OH, NC, IA, TX)...

Worth noting: Meta ads data shows the DNC did not employ this tactic last cycle in any recognizable or widespread way. So this is an innovation in their digital ads strategy. Anyway, I know it's esoteric, but I found it pretty interesting.

Replying to @lachlan
This tactic probably is being used to avoid soliciting coordinated disclaimer approval from these campaigns since we're in the FEC electioneering window and national party committees no longer have IE units after the NRSC v. FEC decision by SCOTUS.

He's not wrong about the range netting! On blue #10 and white #1 tees you're very much in the line of fire

President Trump says in a post overnight that a White House staffer was "hit violently in the chest" by a golf ball due to "gaping holes" in the East Potomac Golf Course's netting. If you are that staffer: 1) Hope you're doing alright! 2) Would love to chat, please DM me.

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…
