NYT Bombshell: "In the summer of 2025, a staffer for Mary Peltola, the Alaska Democrat who was eyeing a run for Senate, received unusual instructions from top campaign aides: Find as many people named Dan Sullivan in Alaska as you can... This article is based on interviews over the past two months with 12 people who participated in or were told of the plan, or were would-be candidates that the team tried to recruit. The Times also obtained dozens of text messages that provided updates on the progress of the effort."
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.

Big AUKUS milestones.
Submarine Rotational Force–West is full steam ahead, Australia’s contribution to the US submarine industrial base is delivering results, and all three nations are putting advanced tech into the hands of warfighters.
Hear the latest from me.

Seriously we're doing this again?
.@PhillyMayor Cherelle Parker tells @EmilyRPeck that the city hopes to launch its historic mortgage program “before the end of 2026.”
“Imagine getting a mortgage, a 30-year commitment, with no PMI,” Parker said, and accessible “with less-than-perfect credit.” #AxiosLive

Making history together🇬🇧🤝🇺🇸🤝🇳🇴
For the first time an American B-52 was escorted by British F-35s, whilst working alongside Norwegian F-35s. A milestone for the UK, USA and Norway, and another example of what can be achieved when allies work as one.

1/10 In my latest for @AIER, I argue that America already has a conception of the common good, rooted in its founding. It is ordered liberty, sustained by constitutional institutions. The real threat to that common good came from progressivism, not classical liberalism.

I think the fact that Marissa Mayer would voluntarily disclose this to a reporter is a pretty good demonstration of how deeply the culture of Silicon Valley has diverged from the rest of humanity

What is really heartwarming about her return is that people who wrapped themselves in her cause in 2025 but then lost their voice in 2026 after Trump made it clear he wanted her out of the way have regained said moral voice.
Venezuela 🇻🇪: despite the pouring rains Venezuelans continue to flood the highway in Yaracuy state to greet Maria Corina Machado as she is making her way to the capital Caracas.

“Whoever is handing Putin the gift of a more vulnerable Ukraine should at least have the guts to put their name on it.”
The shifting explanations from Musk and the administration sound like Abbott and Costello’s “Who’s on First?” Except the consequences for Ukrainian civilians are deadly.
Musk says he didn’t do it. The administration says it didn’t either. Yet someone in the administration reportedly told Musk to undo it, and Ukraine reports only partial restoration.
Are we supposed to believe Hegseth and the Pentagon don’t know the status of a capability critical to U.S., Ukrainian and allied security?
Whoever is handing Putin the gift of a more vulnerable Ukraine should at least have the guts to put their name on it. Hiding behind denials while innocent people pay the price is cowardice.
Meanwhile, Putin keeps murdering civilians and trying to starve and freeze Ukraine into submission. Americans deserve answers. Ukrainians deserve the means to defend themselves.

This is bonkers. I have 87 criticisms about British defense ($$, Chagos, etc), but the government helping you prepare for an emergency is not one of them. If she thinks the army is going to take time to deliver some bottles of water on her doorstep in a crisis, she's going to die. This is stereotypical what a lot of the US thinks about Europe, and I'm sorry.
'You're so wrong!'
Should we prepare for potential food shortages and power cuts, or is it the Government’s job to protect us?

Let me add, what kind of self-respecting woman in this age takes affront at just keeping a few things in the freezer and a gallon or two of water to take care of herself? She needs social services (who have their own families are real responsibilities) to come do that for her? I say this as someone who is baffled that there is a run on Trader Joe's every time there is a storm that might keep people indoors for 36 hours.

Imagine a foreign leader saying “For too long, our country has relied on American farmers for the food we need.” What an absolute embarrassment 🤦♂️ And she doesn’t want farmers to be allowed to buy inputs like fertilizer from our allies. No wonder costs are through the roof.
