Clearly Nancy read Ross this morning.

Crazy that an 85 year old retiring can still feel surprising.

NANCY PELOSI IS RETIRING www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Two women won big governor's races, what do you got on that Ross?

It’s going to be cool when Trump hops on Air Force 1 to go golf for the weekend while everyone else is checking to see if their flight was one of the canceled ones.

The Lex Luthorist administration ever.

Just another government shutdown party at Mar-a-Lago.

Stunned by some of the revelations in @carolleonnig.bsky.social and Aaron Davis’s book, “Injustice.” They report that AG Merrick Garland’s team was blindsided by the bombshell testimony of Meadows’s aide Cassidy Hutchinson before the Jan. 6 Committee. open.substack.com/pub/jimacosta/…

Imagine being able to just say things and people treat it like news.

Trump thinks he can do anything he wants and obviously he didn’t want to do anything that would be popular right before an election. What a weird politician.

Why is it even when he’s in office he puts out media that looks like a guy pretending to be President?

Someone needs to make a supercut of "doubles down after saying wrong word" Trump clips, because this is the best one yet. Fascinating artifact of whatever cocktail of personality disorders he has.

I really need to read that Texas GOP is suddenly nervous about their gerrymander. Has anyone seen that story yet?

Soon, America will be the land of dead malls *and* even larger dead data centers.

Can’t be too careful.

The same people still fear mongering on “Sharia law” are also trying to ram through fundamentalist based laws with significant overlap.

Sentence of the moment: www.techdirt.com/2025/11/03/6...

Looking for the take that maybe Trump surrounding himself with the most hateful and hateable people in America isn’t exactly helping him either.

Media realizing maybe 7 million hitting the streets to protest does actually mean something after all.

I'm looking for the day after analysis that deep dives into Trump doing one unnecessary, self defeating thing after another just before an election that is traditionally viewed as the first voter referendum on the president. Bombings, ballroom and billionaire pardons, he's bulletproof!

Trump runs a chaotic, lie fueled campaign, governs exactly the same way. Mamdani runs a disciplined, message driven campaign, the press wrings their hands on if he can govern at all.

Adams walked (thanks to Trump) so Mamdani could run.

That's right, Mike, no worries. Just keep not doing what you are not doing.

Never decorate angry.

Waiting for MAGA owned grocery stores to start requiring ID just so Trump doesn't look so tragically out of his mind.

I'm sure taking a wrecking ball to the White House and having a Great Gatsby party while people are missing paychecks and seeing healthcare costs multiply weren't factors at all.

Just checking.

The thing about the billionaires failing to stop Mamdani is what they spent is about the equivalent as a normal person sticking a 20 in a slot machine and shrugging when it doesn't hit. Kind of a problem.

I get why, but it's still frustrating that no matter how much good news there is for Democrats, some Trump shit is going to steal the headlines 12 hours later.

Or, a blowout.

Good morning to all the pundits who were counting on Mamdani not clearing 50% for their hot takes today.

Yikes.

It’s kind of crazy Republicans still act like Donald Trump is good at getting anyone elected who is not Donald Trump.

Kind of need to see a breakdown about what happens in the Texas gerrymandered districts if the voters swing 6 or 7 points to the left.

This is what happens when Trump stops doing shitty podcasts.

And he's worked so hard to end it.

If only

We damn well better get a blizzard of "bad news for Republicans" pieces tomorrow.

These are some pretty big swings.

Maybe don't start destroying the White House right before an election. Things the consultants don't tell you.

I'm sure it's not a huge amount, but I'll bet the Gatsby party inspired more than a few people to go vote today.

Good night for political reporters and politicians to make that break with their X friends.

I knew that Mamdani had it; he had the people and did the work, and has been the clearest and most lucid in rejecting the untenable current state of things. But the vile, bigoted shit against him was so constant, and I am conditioned to that working better than I want. This feels like an exorcism.

Which is the bigger threat, moving to Florida or blowing your brains out on live TV.

Any election night where I don't go to bed by 8:30 is a good one.

No sign of Trump doing anything to get more popular between now and next November.
