Kash Patel's meltdown over a jacket
(Daily Mail) The damaging new dossier, obtained by the New York Post's Miranda Devine, detailed an embarrassing tantrum Patel allegedly threw after the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. Patel reportedly flew into Provo, Utah, on September 11, the day after the assassination, and refused to 'disembark from the plane without an FBI raid jacket.' He did not have his own, and was so concerned about the optics that he pulled Salt Lake City FBI field agents from the investigation and ordered them to find him a medium-sized jacket. They eventually tracked down one he could wear but embarrassingly, it belonged to a female agent.

(Roll Call) Democrats emerged from the shutdown empty-handed on a health care subsidy extension, but the party is well-positioned for messaging ahead of next year’s midterms, according to analysts and early polling data.

Though it’s early for such predictions, either could boost Democrats next November.
