Upgrade to paid Republicans Outspent Democrats by $400 Million. Why Did They Still Lose? Cheaper ads, smarter buys, and a message nobody could outspend. Dan Pfeiffer Nov 10 ∙ Preview   READ IN APP   In the run-up to the election, polls and momentum on candidate quality favored the Democrats, but Republicans had the money. Just an absolute metric fuck-ton of money (that’s an industry term). Across the entire cycle, Republicans outspent Democrats by more than $400 million and had a money advantage in nearly every single race of consequence. In the final weeks, the Republicans clung to the idea that the money would save them — particularly in the deep red states and districts where Democrats were making a late play. Elon Musk alone spent more than $400 million, including about $200 million in Texas for Ken Paxton, who lost by double digits. Republicans outspent Democrats everywhere, yet it mattered almost nowhere. What happened? Does money not matter anymore? Did the GOP just light a pile of money on fire? 1. Does Money Still Matter? There is no question that both parties spending $11 billion mostly on old-school television advertising is one of the least efficient and effective uses of money in American history. Put aside all of the better uses for that money in the world — like feeding the hungry, health care, supplies for teachers, etc. — there were better uses in the campaigns. First, it’s just much harder to reach people via linear television. People have cut the cord. They watch less traditional television. The people who watch the news are inherently more partisan and less likely to be persuadable. The only way to reach people at scale is during sporting events, but it’s hard to think of a time when people are less open to political persuasion than when trying to watch a football game with friends and family on the weekend...

Tuesday, November 10, 2026 Good Morning! On this day in 1975, the freighter SS Edmund Fitzgerald sank in Lake Superior during a massive storm, killing all 29 crew members.

Bread, pasta, and potatoes have spent decades on diet culture's blacklist, blamed for everything from blood sugar spikes to expanding waistlines. But researchers who tracked 20 blood markers in adults ages 65 to 75 found something surprising. After just four weeks on a certain diet, one group's biological clock had run back more than a year. So, what carbs can you embrace and which ones should you avoid? Ayla has the full story on today's episode of The Flyover Podcast. Tune in here!

Nvidia CEO Admits Affair Amid Spy Probe Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted Sunday he was unfaithful to Lori, his wife of more than 40 years, as the giant computer-chip company opened an investigation into whether he was the target of a Chinese intelligence operation. U.S. officials reportedly believe Huang was ensnared by Huang Le, also known as Alice Huang, a former Chinese state TV reporter linked to a Singapore firm that was Southeast Asia’s largest buyer of Nvidia chips. Chinese officials dismissed the allegations as "slander." “There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry,” Huang wrote in a memo to employees. President Trump called him an “honorable guy.” Huang stays in charge during the review. Nvidia shares fell over 4% Monday, and analysts say the company has no obvious successor to the man who built it, raising questions of whether Nvidia has become too big to be allowed to fail. NASA Opens $10B Moon Base Contracts NASA said Saturday that SpaceX, Blue Origin, and six other companies can compete for up to $10 billion in cargo deliveries to the moon as the agency works toward a permanent base at the lunar south pole by 2032. The agency also awarded Blue Origin $94 million, with an additional $140 million option, to land a nuclear-powered rover built from spare Mars rover parts, which will launch in late 2028 to drill for water ice at the pole. “When our astronauts return to the Moon, they will arrive with the first elements of the Moon Base already waiting for them on the surface,” NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said in a statement. The $10 billion is a ceiling for future orders, not money already spent. NASA is also hiring astronauts for the base, at a $164,395 salary, with applications open through Dec. 3. Forecast: US Still Tops in 2040 A new projection of the world economy in 2040 has the United States still on top, with output near $53 trillion and China about $5 trillion behind, down from a gap of roughly $10.7 trillion today. The forecast, from London’s Centre for Economics and Business Research, puts world GDP at $227 trillion by 2040, with the U.S., China, and India generating 51% of it. India climbs from fourth to third. Germany slips to fourth, the United Kingdom passes Japan for fifth, and Indonesia cracks the top 10. See full rankings here. Love reading The Flyover?
