Me realizing they might move Game 7 from Halloween to Election Night
One proposal would move Game 6 to Friday, Oct. 30 and Game 7, if necessary, from Saturday, Oct. 31 to Tuesday, Nov. 3. That would mean three days between each of Games 5/6 and 6/7. The WNBA would support that proposal, but only if both teams agree to it, sources said.

Roy Cooper: Every single day I talk with somebody who reminds me why I decided to run for the US Senate. Just last night, I was with a woman who came up to me in tears. She talked about the brain surgery she had to have and couldn't get before. She hugged me and said, "I want you to know that Medicaid expansion saved my life."

Through 9/30, Republicans led Senate battleground broadcast spending by 26%, but led broadcast airings by just 7%. In #TXSen, a 44% GOP broadcast spend advantage yielded only an 8% broadcast airings advantage. Dems led broadcast airings in #OHSen and #NCSen despite being outspent in both states.

Gas and diesel prices have risen more here in Iowa than almost any other state in the country. We are all paying the price. Meanwhile, Ashley Hinson has voted over and over for policies that have jacked up prices, while she gets richer and richer. Watch our new ad:

Pretty big apparent misfire from GOP Sen. Eric Schmitt at today's Jack Smith hearing. Schmitt basically constructed a conspiracy theory about how Jack Smith was in Atlanta when Fani Willis's affair was revealed, saying Smith had attended an Atlanta Hawks game. Smith had no idea what he was talking about. After the text messages Schmitt's theory was based on were shown, Smith said it was a game between the U of Maryland and Iowa HAWKeyes -- in Maryland -- not the Atlanta HAWKS.

Yesterday, Iowa House Republicans were informed by their own pollsters that if you are in a +15 district you’re within the margin for error, if you’re in a +10 district you’re underwater, and that this might end being an even worse midterm environment than 2006. I slept on whether to share this publicly, because I don’t want to cause anyone to black pill. But this morning I ultimately decided the truth should be shared while there is still six weeks left to do something about it for the good of the country. Because if the environment is this bad in my home state, where Trump has been the most popular political figure over the last decade, I can’t imagine where it is everywhere else. Whatever we’re doing or not doing in Iran/Hormuz has become a 2020 Covid lockdown level of political albatross. This is approaching TARP bailout levels of unpopular in my home state. We are risking what’s left of the Trump presidency on this, because if Democrats take control the legislative branch the Trump domestic agenda we all voted for will largely cease between what a Democrat Congress will do and the courts have already been doing. Not to mention what it will cost individual states like my own, which we have worked so hard to make so red these last 20 years (with Trump’s help). This whatever/kinda/sorta/but not really war has become an existential misuse of political capital. Many of us never thought it was worth it, and more and more it appears voters agree. We have to save our own country and our own way of life first before we can save anyone else. We have to save America before we can save the world. If a plane is endangered, you are told to put on your mask first otherwise you’re of no use to help save anyone else. I desperately want us to win. I desperately want this presidency to fulfill all the great promise it had coming out of the 2024 election. But whatever this currently is, isn’t it. We don’t have to just sit here and take the L. It doesn’t have to end this way. We can still win. There’s plenty of ammunition to hammer the Democrats with. We need the president out on the stump asap. We need better and way more aggressive messaging. Stop running fake and gay ads about how often so-and-so shows up for votes, and instead mercilessly hammer Democrats on the wickedness they’re voting for. Articulate specifically what the mission/victory is in Iran/Hormuz, because out here in the cheap seats it feels like another Middle East War quagmire regular folks are paying for on both ends all over again. And for heaven’s sake, make sure Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas are getting the finest healthcare in America.

Also in the newsletter: The Senate Leadership Fund is reshuffling some of its advertising in Georgia’s U.S. Senate race, canceling about $522,000 in reservations boosting Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Collins in recent days. It says the move is part of a routine rebalancing of its buys to maximize viewership, not a retreat from the Republican nominee. #gapol ajc.com/politics/2026/09/chu…

AMEN. This is basically true in every Democratic primary. Hillary Clinton's favorability among Democrats in June 2008 - after losing the most brutal, interminable, closely fought primary of my lifetime - was 74%. Obama's? Also 74%.
One thing that will not be reflected On Here regarding the 2028 Democratic primary, where things will be highly factionalized and negative, but that will almost certainly be true in real life — most primary voters will have a favorable view of several (or even most) candidates once they get to know them. Their allegiance to one candidate may be rather fickle/fleeting from one month to the next depending on debates, developments in the race, etc. Not to mention the strong possibility of strategic voting based on who they deem to be viable. On the flip side, 15-20 serious candidates running will be overwhelming to many voters, and they will also be looking for any and all heuristics to narrow down the list in their mind.
