Looking through southern Indiana -- long ago home to tons of conservative Dems ... the shifts are huge.
Beau Bayh is winning Mike Pence's home county, Bartholomew; Trump won it by 27 in '24. He's winning Clark County, which Trump won by 20. Dubois: Trump by 42; Max Engling by 8.

As recently as Saturday night, the prospect of Democrat Haley Stevens endorsing Republican Mike Rogers in Michigan’s Senate race had seemed implausible.

Some Democrats fear slippage with Black voters makes Michigan Senate race feel ‘far closer than it should.' @AbdulElSayed talks about a new and broad coalition of voters, but will the old one remain intact? @ericbradner & I explore in this new story: cnn.com/2026/10/20/politics/…

To say the very least on this, the congressman is incorrect on the law.
Two-party consent is relevant only to private oral conversations, and he has zero expectation of privacy here.
1st Amendment gives you the right to record public officials in public places as long as you're not interfering with their official duties.
Republican Rep. Andy Harris incorrectly told a reporter they were breaking the law as the reporter and others recorded an exchange with him last night.
Harris had just wrapped up a debate with Democratic challenger Dan Schwartz.

Kimberly Guilfoyle was preparing for her congressional hearing to become U.S. ambassador to Greece when she reached out to a Trump donor with an urgent request: She needed $100,000 that she said she owed American Express—in a way that wouldn’t leave a paper trail.
“It won’t show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express,” she wrote on Signal, according to messages reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. “Please.”

Trump was unaware that James Blair & Chris LaCivita had traveled to the Balkans – or that the pro-Russian government was among their clientele – until he was briefed on the impending NYT piece, sources familiar with the situation told CNN. He then made a series of phone calls Tuesday night asking his allies what their take on the story was, the sources said
One source said Trump appeared annoyed, and another veteran Republican who spoke with the president told CNN that Trump was “pissed” by the report – particularly at the revelation that the two advisers had been abroad in the home stretch of the midterm campaign, profiting off their association with him

This is big news for the WNBA. I can confirm that the NBA has hired the executive search arm of Caitlin Clark’s agency to find the next WNBA commissioner. Perhaps the ridiculous minimization of Clark’s impact, led by Cathy Engelbert, is coming to an end.

Good stuff from @ByJasonLloyd:

Very unserious league.
Las Vegas Aces forward A’ja Wilson will not face league repercussions for confronting a fan in Game 2 of the WNBA first-round playoff series.
Wilson will be available for a decisive Game 3 against the Indiana Fever on Thursday: nyti.ms/4yAP3Jl
