Great read, as always.
No one was more critical of Kyle Davidson's ruthless teardown than I was. I called the tank "contemptible." And I was right. But it's clear now that Davidson was, too. I felt it was only fair to give him a chance to say, "I told you so." My column: https://t.co/R58sc2JbW9

I broke down on Volts how we passed an massive new clean energy bill in IL: 💸 Affordability- clean energy reduces utility bills ⬆️ Leadership- IL is *doubling down* on clean energy in large part thanks to @JBPritzker 🙌 Stakeholders - Working with organized labor is key
Today on Volts: while some blue states hedge on their green commitments, Illinois is doubling down, passing its third major energy bill in a decade. Among other things, this one empowers the state's utility regulator to directly procure clean energy. We get into it.

Sad to hear. He was a good journalist and editor.

That's wildly misleading. What makes you good at winning generals makes you bad at winning primaries and vice versa. Especially considering a 4-way primary win number could be 25%. People believe things about the 08 Dem primary translate to all other races. They don't.
A candidate that cannot beat Jasmine Crockett in a primary is a candidate who cannot flip Texas blue. Primaries are good, iron sharpens iron. Let’s see what the Texas dems are made of.

Nutlick is an amazing nickname.
Lutnick demonstrates why he's called Nutlick: "The greatest cabinet ever for the greatest president ever. I can't be more proud of how you did it, sir. You created the greatest cabinet. It is a joy to be at this table."

This is Mr. Paworotti. His favorite Christmas song is Howl-lelujah. If you'll excuse him, his solo is coming up. 13/10

He's ****** literally ****** asleep at the wheel of the country.
Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

This is the recipe of 2014. Depressed base, fired up opposition, Indys hate you too. Everyone remembers 2010, but 2014 was way worse.
Republicans have turned deeply unhappy with the GOP-controlled Congress as this year has dragged on:

I remember that her walk up song was Katy Perry's Firework, and that whichever staffer did that loved the game.
I’m old enough to remember Michele Bachmann leading polls in the Iowa Caucus in the summer of 2011. A big reason she plummeted was because she criticized Rick Perry’s HPV vaccine mandate for teenage girls in Texas, saying they caused mental retardation. 13 years is an eternity.

Is there anyone who seems so perfect for this political moment and yet has never made their way into MAGA circles? So many recycled Rs got decent gigs, cabinet, ambassadors and other posts. Bachmann never got nothing.

Oracle has been breaking the law and incurring untold billions of dollars in liabilities from fines for operating Tik Tok. It'll be a death sentence on day one and the public will cheer the execution.
You do have to be careful owning the megacaps as we turn into 2028 because the Dems are absolutely frothing to gut these things to the bone and most of the CEOs sold their soul to the devil this year

Got another one.
Sorry, literally every person who goes by “Dr.” and isn’t a medical doctor is insufferable. None of you are the exception. Not one.
