The accolades here for Nancy Pelosi are so well deserved. Whatever your politics, there is no denying that she is an historic figure, a pathfinder who broke the marble ceiling, the most effective Speaker of the House in history. It has been a privilege to know her for decades.

Nancy Pelosi has inspired generations. Her courage and conviction to San Francisco, California, and our nation has set the standard for what public service should be. Her impact on this nation is unmatched. Thank you, Madam Speaker. Wishing you the best in this new

You’ll want to read this from @melmason and @JeremyBWhite, who with others here so owned the story from start to finish that you don’t need to waste your time reading anyone else

Update: this has happened. Dems on track to win at least 64 (!) VA House of Delegates seats, w/ two races still outstanding. Massive Dem night.
If Dems win 63+ HoD seats, it would be consistent w/ a lot of strong overperformances we've seen for Dems in downballot races so far in '25 and indicate that Dems should be considered favorites for House control in '26.

Setti D. Warren, the director of Harvard’s Institute of Politics and former mayor of Newton, Mass., died suddenly at his home on Sunday. He was 55. @EliseSpenner and @tanyavidhun report. https://t.co/ufeNLOkvw2

.@ClaytonKersh22 is retiring from the @Dodgers after this season. He isn’t only an all-time great pitcher…but an all-time great community servant. For years, I’ve had the pleasure of covering his charity work via Kershaw’s Challenge. L.A. loves Kersh & Kersh loves L.A.!
