Chappaquiddick instinct

your honor, it was a bit

love my email this morning

in practice people only avoid assuming pronouns for people they suspect might be trans, it's just woke degendering

whatever you think of Spanberger, the fact that her opponent ran a campaign based almost entirely on transphobia and is on track to eat shit in the biggest blowout the state has seen since 2009 is unambiguously a huge win

the NYT employed Pamela Paul for years to write anti-trans pieces. do not talk to anyone from the NYT. do not talk to any journalist about this, period. no exceptions.

Golden spent all year giving “bipartisan” cover to far-right talking points, voted for the GOP’s voter suppression bill, & now he’s calling it quits? He could’ve still had a good chance to win by acting like any of several other Dems in Trump seats who don’t constantly bash the party. How pointless

Seattle mayor is going to a nailbiter for the next 4-6 business weeks but it looks like a bunch of moderates on the city council ate shit and also Ann Davison is just totally gone.

Ah man, Frey won? That's like the only bad news last night.

can you imagine if today was The Day that It Happens

Sure doesn't sound like Trump thinks that all elections are over.

my home state remains blighted

man a LOT of people who really should have known better genuinely thought Cuomo would beat Mamdani huh

they're calling it the worst take of all time

slamming tonight’s results down on the table in front of every Republican mapmaker in the country as they prepare their gerrymanders and asking do you feel lucky? well, do ya, punk?

they’re going to make the entire 2026 midterms about trans kids in bathrooms and they are going to get absolutely dunked to hell protect trans kids: it’s the right thing to do and you’re going to win

I think they are realizing 2024 was the last ride on the Trump train and are now in a bad bad spot

funniest outcome is state Rs frantically backpedaling on the gerrymandering and meanwhile the CA Ds are doing this shit

So I feel like the obvious GOP strategic choice now is, "outrage wave is real, so find a way to fold on the shutdown and give back those ACA subsidies to blunt the wave." And what they'll actually do is send ICE to invade NYC and N.Va, which will backfire spectacularly.

Seattle Mayor will be pretty close with Bruce Harrell having an early lead but I think Katie Wilson will pull it out once everything's counted meanwhile the evil incumbent city attorney Ann Davison is just fucked six ways from sunday from the first drop

Beating a guy in an election and quoting his dad in your victory speech is a FLEX.

City to Cuomo - Drop Dead.

jesus christ we're actually heading toward an R coalition break aren't we

Head in hands wondering how this could happen to me, the popular president who posted a video of myself shitting on everyone 2 weeks ago

hey I think California is just preemptively voting to disband the Republican Party in California at this point

Georgia gubernatorial she is coming for your ass

with 50 percent of the vote in, 2/3rds of California has voted to send Kevin Kiley to the shadow dimension

time for Seattle to spend EIGHT BILLION YEARS counting

The latest, 11pm: —Prop 50 wins —VA Dems flip Gov, LG, AG; & gain in House —Dems win NJ-Gov —Mamdani wins —PA Dems win supreme court —ME vote-restricting measure loses —Krasner & Bragg win —JD's half-brother loses —GA Dems flip 2 statewide offices + Dem are leading to flip so many local offices.

It’s genuinely hysterical how fast we went from “hah, dumb libs can’t possibly counter our map redrawings because they’d never be able to do it in states like CA” to CA voters being like “yes Gavin, crush the red swine into the dirt with your map”

cmon do something

THEY AIN'T EVEN GOT NUMBERS UP YET

OH PROP 50 INSTACALLED

Wow it turns out the entire country is not permanently reactionary because Trump won an election by 1.5%

Prediction: The Senate is now in play.

BRUCE HARRELL YOUR MOTHER FUCKING LIFE ENDS 12 MINUTES FROM NOW

Can’t stop thinking about all the robber baron fucks that held secret meetings and spent MILLIONS AND MILLIONS in bribes and campaign investments and attack ads and media manipulation trying to tank Mamdani currently having the dawning realization that their money is completely and utterly useless.

Oh my god it was right after the chorus dropped too

folks we still got prop 50 coming in CA if you’re in line to lib out stay in line

so my understanding is that woke 2 is officially here

election night summary: nothing bad can happen. it can only good happen.

election night summary: nothing bad can happen. it can only good happen.

The GOP vile anti-trans campaign failed miserably. Earle-Sears made it her dominant issue - and lost hugely Should be duly noted by the punditry (but don't count on that)

UNLIMITED HUMILIATION FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win
