James Talarico ran a campaign. Jasmine Crockett ran a partial one (at best). Tonight's result might not be much more complicated than that.

Patrick is one of the best journalists in the country and remains the best reporter to cover Texas politics in my lifetime. Whoever hires him will be glad they did.
I was laid off today from the Washington Post’s campaigns team covering the midterms and 2028.
I hear this is an important election year — and I want to cover it aggressively. If you’d like to work together, my DMs are open and you can email me at [email protected].

New at NOTUS: Mike Johnson has been telling Republicans about his private conversation with Trump.
Trump apparently blames the Republicans who voted no, not Johnson, for the SAVE Act failure. And Trump told Johnson he doesn't want a shutdown.

New: ‘It’s a Crying Shame’: Harris Goes After Trump for His Rhetoric on Haitian Migrants notus.org/harris-2024/kamala…
Smart take from @caseyrmurray
VP Harris has adopted an immigration proposal as part of her platform that many lawmakers in the Congressional Hispanic Caucus hates. They’re hoping Harris’ message is just her in “campaign mode.”

Smart take from Tinashe
🚨: As Kamala tries to make the race more about Trump — and ignores the historical weight of potentially becoming the first Black woman president — some CBC members feel like Harris may keep Black lawmakers at a distance.
My latest for @washingtonsun notus.org/harris-2024/cbc-me…
It’s a shot at Jeff Roe. That’s it. Roe ran the best non-GOP Trump campaign in 2016 before flaming out at NBD. No love lost.
What the hell is wrong with the Senate race in Texas ? I think i know …and i think i know his name ….time to get some real professionals in to save @tedcruz
This is great reporting by Haley who spent months working on this story.
NEW: For months I’ve been reporting on the New Hampshire National Guard, which current/former members say is plagued by toxicity, sexual assault and harassment, and retaliation.
All of it exemplified, they said, in one recent case at the southern border.

Pablo Torre Finds Out has become my new favorite show/podcast. Today’s episode was by far the best and should be required listening for every journalist .
P.S. The new @pablofindsout is one of our best episodes.
We solve a mystery — hiding in plain sight! — that alters the origin story of Tom Brady forever.

For the October issue of @TheAtlantic I profiled Mike Lee—a man whose transformation from anti-Trump crusader to raunchy MAGA influencer has shocked and unsettled his longtime friends.
For his next act, Lee could become attorney general. What he told me—about January 6, the DOJ being weaponized, and the one regret he has about Trump—suggests the worst is yet to come.
