Oh we got it. And all we want for Christmas is you @yashar
On CNN, @kaitlancollins references this famous @MariahCarey meme. Anderson Cooper understood the reference….unclear if Jake Tapper and Dana Bash did.

This is a big moment. The sitting GOP governor in Ohio …
Gov. Mike DeWine talks about Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad featuring Amy Acton’s mother saying she is lying about her past - “the ad is deeply, deeply troubling” and that when you know the full story “it makes it more wrong”

PS My mothers defense
Think you're seeing more AI-generated campaign ads than ever before? You're right -- spending on them has ballooned to at least $137 million. And this could be just the beginning. The Inside Politics panel breaks down the brave new ad world

She’s a great, aggressive reporter/anchor who asks him tough, substantive questions, as is necessary in our republic. The president is historically unpopular, consumer confidence is way down, and 3/4 of the public thinks we’re on the wrong track. That’s what’s truly at issue.

Not going to dignify the president’s juvenile social media post about our brilliant @kaitlancollins except to say she and we are going to keep doing our jobs, which is to ask and cover the questions voters care about — like those about the war in Iran and the economy. 🇺🇸 💪
