Tuesday was the most hopeful I’ve felt about politics since 2008 Some thoughts on how Democrats can avoid fucking this up (like not settling scores with each other on Twitter, for example)

Senator-elect Scott Colom: “There were many times where I had to have faith… There are so many people that had faith in Mississippi at times where it seemed impossible. People like Medgar Evers.”

If you're not watching Long Play, you're missing out! youtube.com/@longplayseries
It’s official: Scott Colom won Mississippi's U.S. Senate race. When I interviewed him for Long Play, he told us his campaign came down to “costs, costs, costs, and corruption.” This campaign focused on the economy and expanding voter participation in a state often overlooked.

Charles Taylor, Executive Director of the Mississippi NAACP on the U.S. Senate race: “I believe it was providential that it was a week and a day later, because the eyes of the country recognize all of the things that happened and need to transpire in order for us to change our election systems… we need to make sure that every Mississippian eligible has the right and the ease to vote.”

Morris Katz: “We did this in Texas a little bit... We ran ads for anyone who googled ‘my husband cheated on me’ or ‘I think my husband is cheating on me,’ we were boosting results of Ken Paxton having cheated on his wife.”

I would say it's the first time the White House has mentioned @CrookedMedia, but...
Letter from WH counsel Will Scharf to incoming House Oversight chair Robert Garcia on future Democratic investigations: "Beyond being inconsistent with the clear, well-recognized constitutional limitations on your investigative functions, threats to executive branch officials designed to deter them from public service, or process designed merely to abuse or instill fear in the recipient may cross the line into blatant criminality. And issuing unlawful subpoenas with the intention of depriving citizens of their constitutional rights and privileges may warrant further investigation."

Talarico is very lucky to have the immensely talented @AntonioAEsparza by his side
💡 NEW: James Talarico's speechwriter also led his digital program. For @readchaoticera, I spoke to @AntonioAEsparza about how his team broke through online, "wrote for the internet," and flipped Texas blue. 🌊 chaoticera.news/p/how-james-…

New @PuckNews Did the midterms weaken JD Vance’s chances in 2028? Some activists and party insiders think so — as other Republicans feel more emboldened to test the waters The catch: GOP voters still like Vance, even if MAGA got wiped out puck.news/washington/2026/11…

Heroic work without a lot of resources from the DNC content/digital teams
after the 2024 loss, we did a lot of work to overhaul our content program to meet the moment. read about the strategy and vision directly from @paulinaVEVO in @milkkarten's Link In Bio newsletter: linkinbio.news/p/the-dnc-soc…

One possibility here is that he’s avoiding press because he doesn’t yet have a definitive answer about 2028…
Sen. Jon Ossoff has gone back to his pre-campaign, low-profile habits, skipping national media interviews and avoiding gaggles of Capitol Hill reporters. If he’s running for president, he’s definitely not acting like it. More in the @ajc newsletter… ajc.com/politics/2026/11/the…
