    A number of scoops & new details in here, including Mace having staffers make booze runs for her after midnight earlier in her career. She also made the staff clean her Airbnbs. But that all pales in comparison to what my sources see in public lately.

    New/scooplet: The day after Jan. 6, phone calls came into Nancy Pelosi's office from rioters who left items behind and were inquiring whether the speaker had a "lost and found," Rep. Raskin tells me. Police were more than happy to jot down their info.

    Another notable aspect of this Elon U-Haul story in Michigan: These are mostly Black, out-of-state door knockers who were being hauled around in this literal U-Haul with no seats or seatbelts. They were told transportation would be provided, this is what they got.

    NEW on the private GOP freakout brewing over Katie Britt's State of the Union response: “Everyone’s fucking losing it. It’s one of our biggest disasters ever.” Being likened to the Rubio water bottle moment and Bobby Jindal's infamous 2009 SOTU response.
