A lot was made about Decision Desk HQ last night. They've pulled back a call in the Seattle mayoral race. election-night.decisiondeskhq.com/date/2025-11...

For @msnbc.com I wrote about how Tuesday's election gives Democrats the blueprint for overcoming Republican anti-trans attacks and how thus should settle all the talk about throwing trans people under the bus. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Is it just me or are WA counties unusually slow transmitting their results tonight?

Voter's views don't exist in a vaccuum. Centrists trying to align a platform with opinions shaped by an elaborate right wing propoganda ecosystem will only succeed in chasing a moving target further to the right.

Chicagoans are starting to do exactly this.
