I guess this means Boebert needs to sell her house and move? šŸ¤£

Thank you for all your work, Jamie, in 2023. Yes, you've had a wild and crazy ride and we appreciate you clear concise writing. You helped us through these nutty times. You're my second reading every morning (after Heather Cox Richardson.) You bring some incredible observations that only a seasoned veteran from Washington can bring us. Here's to you and 2024! Let's all hope we all make it through this likely iNsAne year in one piece.

The White House should inform Rep. Jim Jordan they will be happy to comply with his request -- just as soon as he complies with the Jan. 6 committee subpoena he blatantly chose to ignore.

Thanks for the great end of year wrap up, Mr. Dupree. As we head into what will likely be an unprecedented chaotic year in politics, Iā€™m grateful we have this daily newsletter to help us make sense of things. Happy New Year!

Jamie, any plans to write a book about your 30+ years covering Congress?

Happy New Year Jamie! šŸŽ‰ (and everyone here who subscribes & supports Jamieā€™s newsletter!šŸ„³) Hoping 2024 will be a year of interesting but sane headlines (Example: Trump Throws in the Towel and Agrees to Testify Against All His Flying Monkeys; Gaetz Arrested; Jordan Arrested; Giuliani Arrested; MTG Arrested; Trump Plea Deal Includes No Social Media, No Rallies, & Public Apology of his Grift; etc.) šŸ¤Ø

Why do the States run primaries for just two political parties? Shouldn't they run all of them or none of them?

Having said that, I believe States are completely within their rights to keep someone off the ballot for the general election; for legal reasons. In the case of Trump and the insurrection clause, I'm not sure it applies without a conviction.

I thought Boebertā€™s race was close because she was a strongly divisive person. Wouldnā€™t Republicans have a much better chance in CO-03 if they nominate some generic candidate? Thinking of Steve King having a close race against JD Scholten and Feenstra beating Scholten by 20+ points.

Thanks Jamie for great reporting and for your bonus issues of Regular Order when events dictated. You are the gold standard of journalism! I tried again to buy you a cup of coffee and the mechanism didnā€™t work. Sorry, Iā€™ll try again in January. Happy New Year to you and your family!
