We must note that all the condemnation of Tucker Carlson platforming Nick Fuentes has been about anti-Semitism and there has been an alarming and revealing silence around his anti-Black racism and white supremacy. When the head of the Heritage Foundation apologized, he only cited anti-Semitism.

“Did women ruin the workplace?” is of course wildly misogynistic. But beyond that, this framing assumes the nostalgic version of “the workplace” was good and awesome and worth maintaining. I hope women have ruined the workplace. Let’s go, girls!

Please note this: Raising the "salience" of immigration actually worked in Dems' favor in one of the most important swing counties in the country. This is more grist for the idea that attacking Trump is succeeding among the nonwhite working class (see thread below).

Bobby Junior takes off like he drugged the guy

I am once again reminding you that you can get recipes and crossword puzzles elsewhere

This parenthetical is striking, given how often the Washington Post references Republican attacks on Democrats without noting their falsity. Also striking since Democratic criticism of Project 2025 has aged much better than Republican and media critiques of that criticism.

Sorry for my lack of decorum, but couldn't The Times have waited a day before telling the uppity darkie to watch his tone and be grateful? Racist tone policing is no less toxic when its coded in the passive-aggressive voice.

this reads like it’s the national review in 2009 exposing obama as a secret communist

the New York Times is trying *so hard* to accuse Mamdani of a bait & switch but its evidence is incredibly thin

This might be another reason to update your priors around the weakly supported claim that Trump's "they/them" commercials were decisive in 2024.

While legacy outlets advance the falsehood that Republicans are "moderating" on abortion, they're simply turning back to their old tactics: Complicated, inane policies that decimate access while flying under the radar. And Alliance Defending Freedom is lending a hand. My latest for @autonomynews.co

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is probably the first time in American history a sitting governor has used that particular -- and particularly apt -- phrase in a public speech

“He harkened back to William F. Buckley Jr., the National Review founder. "I hope you know who he is," Rector said. "The boundaries that he set forth, William Buckley, in the early 1960s, were twofold. You have to expunge all anti-Semitism, all of it…the other is you have to expel the lunatics. Ok?”

Maybe @jaketapper.bsky.social can find out why what's left of the White House is being turned into a memory care wing.

you think you know how tacky these people are and then they go and invent whole new levels of tacky previously unimagined in human history

this is me talking about the Chicken Madness at Wisey's

This from @gregsargent.bsky.social is exactly right. newrepublic.com/article/2027... Donald Trump's authoritarianism and the punishing reality of everyday life under his rule are inextricably linked.

old reliable

When the Democrats lose an election, they debate endlessly how they can appeal to more voters. When Republicans lose an election, they think of ways to keep more people from voting.

The New York Times is gonna run a special sunday insert

You guys.

Along with everything else, Trump admitting the shutdown led to a bloodbath for Republicans should at an absolute minimum lead Dem Senators to shelve their apparent plan to prematurely cave. He's admitting he and the GOP are in a weak position, Dems. Exploit that!

this is the single greatest thing anyone has ever done in a victory speech

Pretty, pretty good

“In this moment of political darkness, New York will be the light.” Fuck yeah

congratulations to the Republican consultants who took Charles Munger for 30 million bucks to lose by 30 points

incredible that blowing the lid off a Bowdoin class about slavery being bad didn't do more damage to Mamdani

Mamdani has won more votes than the entire population of any of the 5 smallest states.

It looks like public polls had a small Republican bias in VA and a relatively large one in NJ this year.

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

Amazing this did not work

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

Thank you for your participation in this experiment by the Harvard Political Science department. The study has now completed successfully, with a positive result in finding the maximum amount of losing that is possible for new york to inflict on Cuomo

great news for abortion rights in Pennsylvania

Once more, for old times’ sake

"I haven't seen it"

Mamdani already lowering the crime rate in NYC lol

people used to buy pet rocks. I imagine this is similar.

well this feels a hell of a lot better than the last time I saw a Cuomo lose a general election

Came here to say this, but Jamelle Bouie has this covered. 👇 When the Democratic tent includes candidates like Spanberger and Mamdani, there is no crisis, or fight, for the party. IT’S A COALITION, NOT A POINT ESTIMATE.

Just two of the last eight Attorneys General in Virginia have been Democrats (Mark Herring and Mary Sue Terry). Generic Democrat would have had an uphill fight in a normal year.

UPDATE: No.

looks like democrats are about to flip two statewide elections with >20-point margins... in georgia

score one for "the pundits are projecting their own preoccupations onto the electorate"

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.

the humans at Wikipedia already have Abigail Spanberger's win; the robots at Grokipedia do not
