Every time I read some weekend column about a boomer struggling to retire on $100,000 a year and a multi-million dollar home, I'm reminded that my retirement plan is to die in the climate wars.

The UCP drew a map. They couldn't get it past an independent boundaries commission, who recommended a different one after public input. The UCP tore up that map and is imposing their own, without public consultation. They want you to believe this is normal. It's not.

Three days later, Stevens says she is endorsing Republican Mike Rogers.
When you do vote, will you be voting for Abdul El-Sayed? Haley Stevens: "Of course, I'm voting, you know, for our Democratic nominee for Senate. I'm voting for the democratic ticket, but I want to encourage, you know, this campaign to shut out the hate and to call it out and to make people who were in my coalition, right, make them feel comfortable about coming to the polls."

Asked one major Dem donor this afternoon if there was any real concern Haley Stevens moves votes: "No," the donor said. "She couldn't move votes for herself." More on wild Sunday before election @washingtonsun washingtonsun.com/campaigns/…

NYT: Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said that Haley Stevens had told him in a phone call about 10 p.m. last night that she was still behind Dr. Abdul El-Sayed. Raskin said that he had pressed Stevens. “I just want to be very clear about that: You’re supporting the whole ticket, including Abdul?” he said he had asked her. “And she said yes.”

Just a quick, routine check-in to see how this piece from *checks notes* October 30 holds up.
"For a lot of progressives, Stevens hasn’t done enough. No matter how many times she says she’s supporting El-Sayed, progressives are sure that, in her heart of hearts, she doesn’t really mean it. She doesn’t truly love El-Sayed. To which I say: Grow up." lnk.thebulwark.com/48rqBi0

Calls for Stevens to be removed from the Dem House caucus
I want Haley Stevens removed from the caucus. With 48hrs left, she’s campaigning with Mike Rogers, the Republican candidate. If she runs for elected office again, I promise to use my family’s resources to make sure the next title she holds is director of sanitation operations.
