This is my dark horse pick for Election Night. The bottom is falling out of Republican campaigns across the country. Annie Andrews may surprise a lot of people. www.postandcourier.com/politics/dar...

Annie Andrews outspending, outraising Darline Graham in SC US Senate race. She’s still the underdog.
Annie Andrews is outspending sitting Darline Graham in their race for the U.S. Senate. Polls across South Carolina show them tied at a time the GOP is weak. But is she actually winning the race?

I just donated to @drannieandrews.com South Carolina Senate campaign. Expert say Annie can’t win, which reminds me of what they said 20 years ago about any Democrat candidate running for statewide office in Arizona. If you want quality people to run for public office, support them.

President of MIT not mincing words today in @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2026/05/27/s...
So let me say it as clearly as I can: Without basic scientific research, supported by the kind of farsighted public investment that allows large-scale, undirected, curiosity-driven inquiry, the scientific pipeline will run dry.
In daily life, people may not feel the effects right away, or even in 10 years. But we will feel it. And when someone we love needs therapies that could have emerged but didn't or when other countries now
investing in science can launch new science-based industries or run their societies on vast resources of fusion energy or reap the benefits of quantum computing power or advanced medical breakthroughs, America will wish it sustained its leadership in scientific research here and now.
