BREAKING: JUSTICE DEPARTMENT EATS A LOSS IN 'SANDWICH GUY' CASE AS JURORS FIND DEFENDANT NOT GUILTY www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

If it's true that RealClearPolitics removed their polling average of the VA Attorney General race because it was wrong, that should really be the nail in the coffin for them. It's GOP polling propaganda that hasn't been rigorous or transparent in a long time (www.gelliottmorris.com/p/the-pollin...)

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

What is happening at Goddard is absolutely devastating. We are losing history. We are losing an incredible amount of human talent, skill, and knowledge. Rebuilding it will be impossible same for same. Industry can not absorb the people or the equipment. This is undoing space science in the US.

Apparently there was a programmatic ad for ICE recruitment dropped into @pastduepodcast.com, the result of a big pod-forward push by the agency to reel in sub-optimally employed creatives, I guess? The official position of me, @mike-eagle.bsky.social and @andrewsteven.com remains Fuck ICE.

In terms of how the Hill works Pelosi at 75% is still better than anyone else. She's a giant, and Harris's failure shouldn't diminish her achievement in deposing Biden. She was right, but the opportunity opened too late. But in retail politics there's been a hole in her swing for some time.

Wait what.

Not sure whether to recommend reading this before or after breakfast, sorry! New from @anniewaldman.bsky.social and @bxroberts.org: lots of our food comes from overseas and uh, those factories aren’t getting inspected as much as you might want. www.propublica.org/article/fore...

Back c. 2017, after I heard @stewartbrand.bsky.social offer his standard line that “scenarios of the future to work need to be plausible in the present,” I observed to him that the problem right now is that the present isn’t plausible in the present. This announcement is a case in point.

I just feel it necessary to explain that if this one line were true, what he’s saying is American consumers are paying a tax out of their own pockets to keep the global economy from collapsing.

On September 23, Adelita Grijalva won a special election to represent Arizona in the House of Representatives in a landslide, collecting 69% of the vote. Forty-three days later, House Speaker Mike Johnson has not sworn in Grijalva.

always important to consider the signaling effect of elections. one likely outcome of tuesday is to encourage the strongest candidates to throw their hats in the ring.

This one is even more of a head scratcher than most.

With so many recent actions in the Western Hemisphere, there is an inevitable desire to argue the Trump administration has a coherent underlying strategy at work. That’s a fool’s errand, @dandrezner.bsky.social writes.

the reason republicans lost yesterday is because theyre a bunch of weird freaks pushing policy that everyone hates

Appreciate him articulating this explicitly although people will continue to rationalize bsky.app/profile/atru...

Bill Ackman gotta be on the third draft of a tweet longer than Middlemarch right now

one thing that is clear from the precinct data is that "Asian" needs to be disaggregated (in ways that weren't really the case in 2024) Zohran ran up large majorities in heavily South Asian areas while running closer to even in heavily East Asian (primarily Chinese) areas

I find the NYT’s lack of faith disturbing.

yes and so imo one of the biggest Qs will become: how does the rest of the party respond to tonight? do they act like a relatively normal party after a drubbing with a lame duck figurehead? or do they act like they’re something else?

“It’s clear that the Trump-era Democratic coalition simply stays more engaged in electoral politics than the GOP.” www.semafor.com/article/11/0...

From Erin Reed: Loudoun County—from which Trump threated to withhold fed funding for upholding restroom access—rejected anti-trans Rep & elected 2 trans rights Dems.--incl. one who represented trans students in court against outgoing anti-trans Rep Gov Glenn Youngkin.

Indeed. In intelligence, politics, foreign policy if you are still selling the message that there is something behind the chaos, either you have been fooled or you’ve got something (generally a book among my contacts) to sell.

What we know, final edition of the night: [Now in 3 parts] —Prop 50 wins —VA Dems flip Gov, LG, AG —Dems gain leg seats in VA, NJ, & MS —Dems defend NJ-Gov —Dems win NJ+VA trifectas —Mamdani wins —PA Dems win state supreme court —ME anti-mail voting measure loses —GA Dems flip 2 statewide offices

Maybe dumping poop on voters from an airplane is not a surefire electoral strategy

NO FAIR HE SAID HE WAS LEAVING

Pay me a million dollars to write a column that’s like “we cannot let voters manipulate our elections with votes”

Trump tries to build a fake wall of inevitability around everything he does. Today, voters - literally from sea to shining sea - broke through all that, and this is just the beginning.

BREAKING: California voters approve a new House map designed to help Democrats net 5 seats next year, NBC News projects, countering Republican redistricting in other states.
