"Well, it's finally official. Sandwich throwing is now legal in the District of Columbia."

As with Bernhard Goetz in the mid-1980s, juries are sympathetic towards Subway vigilantes.

A sandwich guy ain't nothin' but a hero.

Biff Tannen had more architectural restraint. So did Saddam Hussein. (Also: this is a row of presidential portraits, but with Biden's replaced by a photo of an autopen.)

This goes into the hall of fame of "If Joe Biden had ever . . . "

For the Netroots community, for everyone who knew @arjunjaikumar.bsky.social when he was a guy posting on DailyKos and SSP as "brownsox" who loved writing about elections, today is a joyous day as he's been elected to the Cambridge School Board with the strong backing of the local teachers' union.

Remember that nutball theory about alleged 2024 vote fraud in Rockland County, NY, centered around a Ramapo precinct showing 0 votes for Kamala Harris while Gillibrand won? And we said it was just Hasidic bloc voting? Last night's results? The same bloc voting. Don't drink the BlueAnon Flavor Aid™.

Not sure what aspect of Pat Dugan's loss to Larry Krasner is most impressive: that he did worse than the guy 4 yrs ago who had to explain the dead woman in his bathtub; that he did worse than he did against Krasner in the closed Dem primary; or that his Forward Party endorsement wasn't decisive.

The teaser for the upcoming Michael Jackson authorized biopic includes no indication of how they're going to cover the third act of Jackson's life, after their intended treatment was scuttled once someone realized a settlement with the Chandler family barred it. www.vulture.com/article/mich...

Not really sure on employing this epithet in this particular context: "Some staffers defended Roberts and pushed back against his critics. One wanted to know what would happen to those who agreed with Roberts and Carlson, and another likened employees talking to reporters to 'Judas.'"

Two years ago, I was thrilled to help anti-privatization activist Kofi Osei claim a seat on the Towamencin Twp (Montco PA) board of supervisors with a 3,035-3,035 victory over a GOP incumbent. On Tuesday, his fellow Dems flipped two more GOP seats (more easily) and they now control the township. 1/

People of the world today, are you looking for more good news? We were worried about nasty election results in the local judicial elections in Monroe County, PA, but Democratic voters were in control and everything's alright. (And Judge-elect Best was our voter protection counsel there for years!)

I know what you're thinking, but actually it's going to go to Sir Anthony Hopkins.

How did Democrats sweep all four open common pleas judgeships in Bucks County? By making sure voters knew who they were voting for. Nice little ad. (I got to know Amy Fitzpatrick when she was solicitor to the county board of elections.)

Still reconciling myself to the fact that George Santos celebrated his prison release by partying at the hibachi place in the Poconos (Desaki) where I've taken my girls at least annually for over a decade and they make balloon animals and yes I've caught the zucchini and they make onion volcanoes.

🎶I've seen the lights go out on Broadway I watched the mighty skyline fall The boats were waiting at the Battery The union went on strike, they never sailed at all They sent a carrier out from Norfolk And picked the Yankees up for free They said that Queens could stay They blew the Bronx away....

Now that it's before the jury, is this case sub judice?

All four members of the PA House seeking election to other offices won last night -- Joshua Siegel (D), Dan Miller (D), Torren Ecker (R), and Lou Schmitt (R) -- which will prompt special elections in the 102 D/101 R chamber in the new year. cc: @the-downballot.com

Thinking about this Mary Oliver poem this morning. Don't hesitate.

These are great jurists, and great people. Before joining the bench, Judge Tsai was my courtroom partner for voter protection work, and after she joined the bench I was honored to have her conduct my wedding to Lisa in our living room. She is a fantastic addition to Commonwealth Court.

Twelve years ago, Democrats flipped Abington (Montco) PA's township government when first-time candidate Jimmy DiPlacido won his open seat election, 517-517 (winning the lot-drawing tiebreaker). threadreaderapp.com/thread/15952... Tonight, he was elected to a fourth term by a 1,046-350 margin.

Dems have swept all five row offices in the crucial swing county of Bucks County, PA, by about a 56-44 margin, including my longtime friends Joe Khan and Danny Ceisler being elected District Attorney and Sheriff, respectively. We swept all four open common pleas judgeships. This is a great night.

Larry Krasner has won his third term tonight against D->R former judge Pat Dugan by a larger percentage (50% > 44%), and by far a larger vote margin (168K > 95K), than he won four years ago against the criminal defense lawyer who had a section on his campaign website titled "The Girl In My Bathtub."

"Pennsylvania has spoken. Philadelphia came out with a roar." A jubilant Justice Kevin Dougherty is hailing his colleagues and thanking the crowd, especially organized labor.

Justice Dougherty just arrived at the victory party to the sounds of "Ain't No Stopping Us Now." It's a great night.

Pennsylvania voters retain three state Supreme Court justices, preserving Democrats' 5-2 majority 👇 www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

I wonder how much money you could've made last winter by parlaying a Mikey Madison (Best Actress Oscar)/Mikie Sherrill (NJ Gov) futures combo bet.

If you press play on Meat Loaf's "I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" right now, when it's over in-person voting will be completed in 66 of Pennsylvania's 67 counties. If you're in line, wait. If you're not in line yet, RUN. (Safely.)

Use your vote. Every time. But only when there are elections.

Polls are open in Pennsylvania until 8pm tonight, except in Chester County where they will remain open until 10pm to account for pollbook errors earlier today. If you're in line by the deadline, you get to vote. (In Chester from 8-10pm, it'll be on provisional ballot.) Go vote. VOTE YES.

A Chester County (PA) judge has ordered that polling hours are extended to 10 PM tonight for all voters, helping to ensure that voters who were affected by today's poll book printing errors will not be disenfranchised. Post 8pm, voters will vote on provisional ballots. Dems/GOP agreed on this.

Only 5% of Americans believe that professional athletes *never* alter the way they play in order to help gamblers win bets. By a 40% margin (7% vs 47%), Americans believe legalized gambling has a negative impact on sports. This is a crisis. d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/ec...
