all my haters become dilators when i sit down on the dildo of success

Since the heist, information has resurfaced showing that gaps in security appear to have been known for years – including a 2014 warning that alleged one of the museum’s key passwords was simply “LOUVRE.”

It's not that often that you see union leaders running as Dems, but Rehmet is, and he has a decent shot at flipping a Trump+18 seat (the runoff date hasn't been decided yet afaik)

Some analysts said there was no way Taylor Rehmet had a chance in this Texas State Senate special. I disagreed. He came within 3 points of winning it outright, despite only having a fraction of the GOP’s $$$. Now he heads to a run-off that we can win. www.texastribune.org/2025/11/05/t...

this is who won?! wait i stan so hard

I'm still ecstatic about Mamdani winning. The amount of hate and bigotry that was thrown his way is unbelievable. The worst human beings on the planet engineered a smear campaign to take him down. Despite the bigotry, despite the lies, he worked his ass off and won.

Particulars of Israel-Palestine aside, it's a bit surreal seeing a mayor get grilled on foreign policy while everyone shrugs when the actual president appears to be throwing darts at a map blindfolded to decide our next war. Sorry, Cameroon. Nothing personal.

Good morning ☀️

🚨🚨🚨 The jury has reached a verdict. Sean Dunn, aka the DC Sandwich Guy, has been found NOT GUILTY of assault.

Wow. Democrat Taylor Rehmet heading to a runoff with Wambsganss after getting 47.5% of the vote in a +18 Trump district. More than $4 million was spent by/in support of her two GOP opponents, with big checks from Miriam Adelson and billionaire Tim Dunn. Rehmet spent $68,000.

Every new post tonight is like Dems have flipped the Mehaden town sewer authority, long dominated by conservatives, by a +38 margin

One thing not discussed about those insane Georgia races is that, in the primary, the Democrat got more votes UNOPPOSED than the 2 republicans running COMBINED

Libs are bleeding voters to their right and to their left and it's unsustainable

NGL "did this 15 point and downballot sweep win offer anything to learn for Democrats, I think not" vs "does this 2 point win offer anything for Republicans, absolutely!" is very funny to me.

Yes, Cuomo lost to Mamdani, but I think it's important to remember that Cuomo lost to Mamdani twice

this is actually impressive, making up a brand new nobel peace prize replacement is a genuine innovation in bribery absolutely nobody does corruption like FIFA

Republicans need to empathize with the economic anxiety of Jay Jones voters if they want to reconnect with everyday Americans

The way people tried to hang the very normal number of train derailments in the Buttigieg is how we need to stick plane crashes to Duffy. The U.S. had gotten very good at making sure large, scheduled flights did not crash and now they are crashing

Yeesh. I mean, Golden sucks, but winning that seat just got much much harder

Brain is melting

i call this view 'reactionary centrism' - the problem with it is that modern fascism *cannot* be appeased; they don't want a few compromises in women's sports, they want a total social transformation and the end of liberal democracy you give them a bone, then another, then they want your arm

Earle-Sears ran what felt like 12 billion ads about how much she hated trans kids and I didn’t hear a single pundit say she should stick to real issues that affect real people.

So what do we think the environment was tonight? I'm thinking something like D+6 (~8 point shift since November)

Looking at all available precincts in Hudson County, Sherrill support is higher in the most-densely Hispanic turf & tracks closely with '21. Turnout is *higher* than '21 across the county-- and even more so in the most Hispanic precincts.

Tonight was a blood bath for Republicans and they should be fucking terrified of what next year looks like for them.
