NEW from me @TheSpectator:

I’m at today’s long awaited @tiktok_us hearing, where the Communist spyware CEO is going to gaslight America

He’s now on on Cap Hill with a Socialist Congressman and a Biden-tied Mao lover's firm in his pockets

TikTok’s CEO is gearing up for a grilling in Congress, but he’s got some new, powerful allies in his corner: a political consulting firm whose founder lavished praise on Mao Zedong and is now one of Biden’s top aides — and a socialist congressman who thespectator.com/topic/tiktok-f…twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Shou Zi Chew, the company’s CEO, is at @HouseCommerce, where Republicans are planning to press him on the national security concerns posed by the video app’s parent company ByteDance’s ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

Congratulations to DC journalists, Twitter, and the three ambitious Democrats on getting so bored that they successfully wasted everyone’s time and created a competitive 2024 #VASen race for twelve hours.
We were privately told yesterday night that Kaine was hosting a fundraiser right after his announcement, which made us think he was running, but none of us were really clued in on his thought process. Generally you can get any variant of a rumor in DC confirmed by *someone*.
People like to pretend they know a lot more than they really do and in general unless these things break from news organizations or someone directly clued in to the source, my default reaction now is to take it with a slight bit of caution (having been burned before!).

New from me @TheSpectator:

My Christmas wishlist is fairly simple–I'd love for a ban on @tiktok_us, a Chinese spyware system that's being used by the CCP to spy on Americans

Read on for how I could get my wish!

What do Santa Claus and the Chinese Communist Party have in common?

They both see you when you’re sleeping, and they both know when you’re awake — especially if you have communist spyware like @tiktok_us installed on your phone!

Whether you’re a teenage girl or a government employee with a top secret clearance, @tiktok_us wants to brainwash you and steal your secrets — maybe even both!

Voter #397 at Alexandria, VA city hall on first day of in-person early voting: Sen. Mark Warner (D). Image
In line to vote, Warner tells me he saw the #VA05 @CookPolitical rating change this morning and thinks Webb will do well in places like Rappahannock Co.

Also says he believes Dems would take back Senate if it were decided today, but 45 days “is still a long way to go.”
BREAKING: Warner issues no comment on what kind of sandwich he will be having for lunch. #VASEN

A high point of my time on Twitter has doing my #overlookedelectionstakes thread, after the 2018 midterms: stuff that's way under the radar, but so crucial. Tomorrow is Election Day 2019 , and all but a handful of elections are way too neglected. Time for a preview. New thread.
In 2018, Navajos won a majority of seats on the county commission of Native-majority San Juan County, Utah, for the 1st time, after a legal fight to make that possible. So white residents want to change local government again. Organized a referendum. #overlookedelectionstakes
Corey Stewart (the neo-Confederate GOPer in #VASen in 2018) has long been chair of board of Prince William Co. It's a large, blue-leaning county in NoVa, but Stewart has kept it closely tied to ICE, among other policies. He's retiring. Can Dems pick-up? #overlookedelectionstakes
