    Some news: I'm joining @NOTUSreports in a few weeks, where I'll continue to cover the Senate. A hearty thank you to @KateNocera @deirdrekwalsh for the opportunity to join their growing/impressive newsroom & the challenge of replacing @UrsulaPerano. I could not be more thrilled.

    Chris Christie, just now on ABC, says he has "not been contacted by the White House" re covid/contact tracing. Says he found out about Hicks's diagnosis through media reports last night... went this a.m. in NJ to get a test. Will receive results first thing Sat a.m....

    Source close to the RNC tells me folks there are furious with Ronna McDaniel over their move to jump back in the race for Moore. “Congratulations on dropping the Romney name and picking up a pedophile. Proud day for the RNC.”

    Democrats are asking the same thing post-debate: Why did Fetterman's team allow him to take the stage tonight? No one I'm talking to on the left has a good thing to say about what just took place.

    Tensions are spiking between Menendez & Fetterman these days to the point where Fetterman told him on escalator to the Capitol yesterday that today would be a great day for him to resign, multiple sources said.
    Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.)

    We obtained a transcript of Rep. Van Orden cursing out Senate pages overnight in the Capitol Rotunda. The account was taken by a page who wrote down the remarks minutes after the incident: thehill.com/homenews/41236…

    When someone inevitably asks me one day what it was like to cover Congress, the story of Jim Risch holding up an omnibus vote at midnight over the naming of a forest after a political enemy will be the first thing I remember.
