Think about this. Did you hear trans panic headlines in the 2000s? No. Conservatives weren’t “worried” about trans people until the day they lost on Marriage Equality. Once they realized most of us are just fine with gay marriage, they needed a new wedge issue and started attacking trans people.

A quite startling overperformance for Democrats in tonight's special election for a state Senate seat in Kentucky: Democrat Gary Clemons won 72% to 25%. He was defending a Dem-held seat where Kamala Harris beat Trump by 5% last year.

Rob and Michele Reiner were killed yesterday in their Los Angeles home. Here's a Flipboard Storyboard paying tribute to them, including stories from @sepinwall.bsky.social, @davidlfear.bsky.social and more. flipboard.com/@thecultured...

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

Wrote about how the late, great Rob Reiner had the most impossible 7-movie beginning to any director's career, and yet that's not even what he was most famous for:

I know multiple women who genuinely, truly believe that their children are more likely to die from a HPV vaccination side effect than they are from the cancers that HPV causes. I have no idea how you even begin to undo that level of mass psychosis in society.

BREAKING: Democrats have *flipped* a seat in Georgia's state House tonight. Democrat Eric Gisler has won the seat, which was previously held by a Republican who resigned this fall. This is a red territory: Trump won the district by 13% in 2024.

A 🧵 on election results you may have missed yesterday, under the hood of Tennessee's special election. Plus, what lies ahead... next week!

Before tonight, the average Dem overperformance in special elections was 13 points. Aftyn Behn matched that figure almost exactly. If anything remotely like this holds next year, GOP hopes of holding the House will be very slim. Track all these races with our special election Big Board →→→

Trump has been trying to go full dictator this entire time, if he could just do it he already would have. His public support plummeting isn’t going to make the task easier

What we know, 10:30pm: —Dems flip mayor's office in Roswell, Georgia. —GOP defends TN-07. Margin shifts blue by ≈14%. —Solomon crushes McGreevey to become Jersey City mayor; his progressive slate also dominates city council. —In Atlanta, establishment ahead in most but not all battles vs. left

It’s #GivingTuesday! 💛💰 Let’s support the local, independent and non-profit newsrooms that keep our communities informed.

Some background! I wrote about Tennessee in 2023, asking whether it's still a democracy www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

If you know Georgia, Roswell flipping blue is a big deal.

If you ever wondered what GOP gerrymandering looks like in red states with blue cities, I present:

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there. Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

The fact that there's been some actual election night suspense on how Tennessee ends is going to be enough to trigger those cold sweats among House Republicans. And Dems will likely get to point to another (admittedly way smaller!) flip, stay tuned for that.

We’re on Flipboard now! Give us a follow over there, in addition to everywhere else on Earth
