.@jamestalarico, who has faced a significant dump of opposition research from Republicans using his own words against him on everything from running a vegan state Senate campaign to calling men in women’s sports a “far-right conspiracy"... politico.com/live-updates/2…

To be fair it’s hard to fund oppo in a party that just makes shit up

@GovernorCooper @MalloryMcMorrow @ZohranKMamdani … if there is negative information about mills it’s on planter to find it! Thats politics 101. There’s less on incumbents because you only become an incumbent by surviving an election where people do oppo on you

My oppo file on Glenn Youngkin is massive btw. If you’re writing about him…. mvenzke@americanbridge.org

Was Cuomo's oppo team asleep on the job?

@kinsellawarren Great point. How hard is it to look up past tweets. Oppo team were bozos.

“There’s a school of thought,” says @MarkHalperin about the Texas Senate race, “looking at the polling and at the opposition research that’s already raining down on Talarico, that Paxton could beat Talarico. So why should the president piss off the base and MAGA by endorsing Cornyn when they keep the seat anyway? … And then there’s a school of thought that says, just get the incumbent in there and find something for Paxton to do. Find some excuse for him to quit the race.” @LarryOConnor @melissadderosa @2waytvapp

Janet Mills goes up with an attack ad against Platner—->

Note: Platner invoked his opponent’s name first, way back in October in his first TV ad. It didn’t get a ton of notice at the time because that was Reddit/tattoo scandal month. axios.com/2025/10/14/gra…

"Old clips of Talarico espousing hardcore lefty sentiments in the past have flooded social media in recent days... Many of them have been unearthed as an aggressive opposition research campaign against him kicks into gear...." @RNCResearch @jamestalarico nypost.com/2026/03/15/us-…

Don't think I've ever posted this publicly before. I wrote this many years ago for our internal wiki, but to this day it's like a lighthouse that can be used to predict whether i'm happy with how things are going or pissed off

As Eric Swalwell aims to fend off attacks over his CA residency, @LiaOffLeash and I found that he rents a room—not an apartment or home— in a Livermore home occupied by a family of three. Some analysts said this is not unusual in Congress. sacbee.com/news/politics-…

"Perkins Coie @PerkinsCoieLLP long drew Trump’s ire for advising Hillary Clinton during her 2016 presidential campaign and working with an opposition research firm tied to the discredited Steele dossier..." thehill.com/homenews/admin…
