Employment lawyer here: the number of male employers who genuinely believe they should be able to sleep with their female employees and pay working mothers less than working fathers is most of them. They genuinely believe that it is an injustice against them that they might face repercussions.

Gore Vidal said “It’s not enough that I succeed, others must fail.” That’s how I feel about the disgraceful gutter-bigot campaign run against Mamdani and the do-you-need-to-borrow-an-Ativan freakout about him. These people spectacularly undignified.

Thinking about the young pair my Zohran canvassing partner & I crossed paths with yesterday: they were both maybe around 20, doing sidewalk nonprofit donation work. One of them spoke at length about how inspiring she found Zohran—and then asked to shake our hands. 😭 The kids are more than all right.

I have to imagine far-right Catholics are really struggling with the fact that they can now hear this stuff in English directly from the pope.

By today, nearly 11 million SNAP participants should have received *full* benefits for November. They haven't. By Friday, this jumps to about 20 million. (estimated using state participation data and issuance schedules from USDA FNS) 🥗 🛟 🩺📊

THE MAJORITY of money spent by Winsome Earle-Sears and outside groups in Virginia went to anti-trans ads. The GOP needs a new playbook after tonight. Voters are tired of this song.

I like how Krasner winning an almost unprecedented third term as Philly DA by stomping the walrus mustached city court judge who quit the bench to try to take him out first in the primary and again as a Republican in the general isn’t even folded into the national Dem sweep coverage.

The dumb thing about the eric adams "future of the dem party" takes wasn't that it was *eric adams* it was that all those pundits would not normally see the close winner of a 5way dem primary in new york city as a sign of what america is demanding (and they will not with zohran,mostly correctly)

Specifically, the fear of God comes from GOP uncertainty with rejiggering maps after Virginia turned into practically a supermajority state overnight. You might redistrict yourself right out of a job

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.
