One of the elite defenses the Gophers offense couldn’t do anything against.

UCLA points today 3 on the opening drive 14 on the two drives after Minnesota settled for long FGs they missed. Just absolute madness from Minnesota. Not playing to win the game. Playing to survive.

Really tough segment to watch, but incredibly touching.
When he was young, CJ Carr's brother Chad was diagnosed with DIPG, a rare form of brain cancer and died when he was just five years old. CJ moved forward the best he could, and when it came time to pick a college, he picked Notre Dame because he knew Chad would love that CJ charted his own path ❤️ (via @JenLada)

Inbox: Minnesota Senate Republicans have chosen Jordan Rasmusson from Fergus Falls as the GOP's next minority leader. That's a change from Mark Johnson of East Grand Forks after big losses to the Senate GOP ranks.

Ranked choice may actually work out for Sullivan in Alaska but it is an absolute abomination as an election practice.
Sen. Dan Sullivan's campaign says it's projecting him to win in Alaska once it goes ranked choice "despite a bloodbath for Republicans everywhere else"

Bad policy, bad character make bad politics: erratic tariffs, impulsive Iran war, blanket pardons, apparent corruption, weaponized justice, ICE brutality, mountainous deficits, hiding Epstein, abandoning allies and coddling enemies. Hoping for a course correction, for the country and for my party.

I feel this.
Don’t understand the concept of an “election night watch party” at all. Election night is not for socializing. It’s for looking at your phone and throwing up

Breaking and very sad news -- Sen. Chris Murphy is hospitalized following a stroke, an aide to the Connecticut Democrat confirmed Sunday. His staff began notifying people Saturday afternoon of the hospitalization and stroke, a person told POLITICO at the time. “Yesterday afternoon, Senator Murphy started experiencing numbness in his arm while at his son’s hockey game. He was taken to a local hospital, where it was discovered he had experienced a stroke,” Allison Herwitt, Murphy’s chief of staff, said in a statement. “He was transferred to Johns Hopkins for further monitoring and is responding well to treatment. The doctors are encouraged by his progress, he is awake and alert, and we are optimistic he will make a full recovery,” she added. Murphy, who is viewed as a potential 2028 White House candidate, has been traveling the country to campaign for candidates, including recent stops in Michigan, Minnesota and Florida. He had been previously scheduled to attend campaign events in New Hampshire on Sunday. more w/ @jordainc politico.com/news/2026/11/01…

Quirk of 2026: the high number of GOP insiders who privately wish they could hold the Senate majority while Paxton/Marshall lose (but Hinson/Rogers/Collins win), and a few Dems hoping the Senate flips while El-Sayed loses. Neither scenario all that likely.
I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today.
