Pretty rare for the Washington Post editorial board and the Wall Street Journal editorial board to be aligned on a policy issue. If they both think something is a mistake, it's probably pretty bad.

Trump isn’t behind 10 in the battlegrounds, Charlie. And while he didn’t gain 10 points tonight, he gained more new swing state voters than Biden did. And it may matter in a few of those states.
As a Harvard alumnus, I look forward to the day when the resume of a current student touting their association with one of these groups crosses my desk, so I can slam the door in their face.
large number of harvard student organizations blaming israel solely for hamas terrorist attacks killing 700 civilians.
can’t imagine who would want to identify with such a group. harvard parents—talk to your educated kids about this.

Reporting from Georgia,
@GaryTuchmanCNN
just shared that the Secretary of State says there are 122,535 votes outstanding. At that time, Trump led Biden by 39,817 votes. So Trump would need to win 33.76% of the outstanding votes to win Georgia. Seems unlikely.

Not understanding the folks who think the NFL should have acted faster. What if they had gotten word that Hamlin had been stabilized? What if he had died and they didn’t want to announce anything until notifications could be made? Better to make the right call than a fast call.

My work for Mitt Romney continues to be the thing I am most proud of in my professional life. His speech tonight was truthful, stirring, and courageous. He continues to be the model of the sort of statesmen we need in our nation’s leadership.
Another great set of remarks from
@JoeBiden
tonight. If you don't fully embrace these sentiments, please take a long, hard look in the mirror.

Some of the biggest beneficiaries of the Haley SuperPAC's spending have been Donald Trump's lawyers.
With SFA Fund doing the heavy lifting lately, MAGA Inc. has spent just ~ $557K in the last month, freeing up cash that can be refunded to Trump's Save America to cover legal fees
As usual,
@PeterHamby
lays out the no-bullshit truth:
“Let’s be real: there is no electorate for Youngkin, no actual plan to draft him, and no logical process to do so.”

True, but that race was very much run around healthcare. This race wasn’t fought on tax reform or other pending major legislation. Brown’s election also fundamentally changed the Senate dynamic by giving R’s the power to filibuster. This race doesn’t. So expect no vote delays.
Find me *one* voter in Virginia who said “you know, if House Democrats had voted to pass the Build Back Better Act, I’d have voted for McAuliffe—but they haven’t yet so I voted for Youngkin.”
Reported all of this to the station manager at McPherson, who called it in. Was told the operator of our train didn’t report to Central they had missed Farragut as they would have been required to do, and that train was being taken out of service.

Honestly the better story right now might be The Bear and the Dragon; with nearly all of Russia’s military power tied up in Ukraine, China has a wide open door to take back some territory and minerals in Siberia.
Meant to share this yesterday after
@JoeBiden
spoke, but I deeply respect and appreciate these comments. This is the tone of leadership the nation needs. I hope all Americans can find it within themselves to live up to the sentiment.

DOJ indictment against Hunter Biden says that between 2016-2019, his personal expenses included:
$188,960 on “Adult Entertainment”
$683,212 on “Payments - Various Women”
$1,664,004 on “ATM / Cash Withdrawal”
Wow.

Virginia statute limits punitive damages to $350k. The judge said after the jury left she would reduce the $5M award to that amount, without any objection from the attorneys. So Depp nets $8.35M.
The latest evidence that much of the theater we’ve been seeing in the House is about fundraising.
(Note: I can guarantee I never signed up for any Matt Gaetz list.)
Below, I'm going to re-post, word for word, some tweets I sent soon after Donald Trump won the 2016 election—except I'm going to replace Trump's name with Joe Biden's. Because the sentiments I expressed then remain just as true today.
Another rare alignment between the editorial boards for the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal, with both agreeing the Supreme Court made the right call in striking down Biden’s student debt forgiveness plan:
UPDATE: Unfortunately, after spending a good amount of time at the Capitol working with Capitol Police and National Guardsmen onsite and in their chains of command, we determined that there were simply too many hurdles to overcome to get the sleeping mats to the officers/troops.
