@CookPolitical@amyewalter@CharlieCookDC I cannot thank Charlie enough for bringing me onto their team a year and a half ago, and I'm so incredibly proud to be part of such an amazing team at @CookPolitical. Charlie is one of the smartest, kindest people you will ever meet, and I owe him a huge debt of gratitude
Charlie founded @CookPolitical the year before I was even born. The world of political analysis & handicapping wouldn't be what it is without him. He'll still be giving speaches through @LAIspeakers (which reps all of us at CPR) and writing his columns through @nationaljournal.
Whenever I’ve had a terrible mental health day& I do take time off work (which is rare, I usually try to push through), I feel so incredibly guilty &like I’m letting everyone down. Simone stepped back on the biggest stage &said mental health IS physical health. That’s the GOAT.
I’m seeing *two* different therapists right now (one focused on helping Alzheimer’s caregivers) and my regular therapist and finally found a great Alzheimer’s support group (thank you @WeAreHFC & @Sethrogen!) and it’s still not enough sometimes.
To be clear, me taking the time and space I need is rare. The bad mental health days happen way too often
A few thoughts on #TNSen from a native Tennessean: I think it's going to be close between Hagerty -- who started out as the heavy favorite thanks to Trump's endorsement -- and Sethi. This has been the most negative campaign here in TN I can ever remember
Both Sethi & Hagerty are campaigning as though they'd be a major departure from Lamar! and previous TN Sens, like Corker, Frist, Baker. But what sources in the state told me is this isn't really a natural position for either man
Hagerty is more of a business-type moderate deep down most think. He's run fast away from Romney, who was once a close frient. And I've been hearing Sethi's name as a possible candidate for several years, as a Frist-type candidate -- both surgeons who wrote a book together
