@conorsen Not Obama, but the Republican primary defeat of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (Va.) was a sign of things to come. Lost to a little-known populist right candidate focused on immigration restrictions.

Sorry to see the passing of singer Peabo Bryson at age 75. Perhaps best known for "A Whole New World" from "Aladdin." Earlier tune "If Ever You’re in My Arms Again" a classic that's picked up play in recent years.

Hard to see how there could be a season in 2027 if owners dig in on this. Only 9 teams would fit within this range based on 2026 payroll.

Winner of the Ken Paxton (R)/James Talerico (D) Texas Senate race will be only the fourth person to hold that seat going back to 1961. That was the year Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson (D) vacated it to become vice president.

After House Democrats lost their 40-year majority, the late Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) in 1995 became point man in debates against GOP arguments. It didn't stop any bills from passing, but became early viral moments in a cable TV-dominated news era, and amid a nascent internet.

Politics aside, this was a strong Colbert musical moment, with Paul Simon and band. Early in the show's run. "Troubled Waters – 'Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard' 09/11/15 Stephen Colbert"
