speaking of Blexas, I think Hinojosa and the downballot sweep is actually a significantly bigger deal than Talarico (who is, to be sure, a big deal) if they can deliver, if they can convince Texas that voting blue was the right call and they should keep doing it, the whole country changes

there are 21 different FBS stadiums that could hold Every Cybertruck Owner In Existence (and that's assuming each purchaser only bought one cybertruck)
Just to put a bow on this: When Musk announced the Cybertruck in 2019 he said it would available in late 2021 and cost $40k. He and Tesla bulls hyped the 1.5 million “waiting list”. He projected 250-500 k sales/year. It showed up in late 2023 It cost $100k Lifetime sales (wait for it) 71k

Remember her telling me about how much it meant to her that LBJ, a Southerner, sogned the Voting Rights Act into law. She believed in the South, in its capacity to grow, to awake from the nightmare of our shared past. Was extremely idealistic about that. Long, painful, indirect road.
kidrew just dropped an icbm (intercontinental bowel movement) on us and it escape containment maybe the worst ever
You can tell AI is a very real industry by the way it implodes unless a sympathetic political party has totally unchecked power
the relief of maybe we can stay is not a weight i was aware i was carrying. but that's how bad schools were looking if they lost again.
we are living in the stone age in texas. my kid has never lived under the rule of someone who thinks that she, a queer latina, even deserves to exist. new leadership won’t fix everything, but now she feels like she can actually stay here—like maybe, there’s a possibility things could get better
i think we should let trump hand pick republican candidates for as long as he wants
Talarico received more early votes than Paxton received in total That race was over before the polls opened yesterday
i can't wait to call my texas senator and my texas rep and tell them both they better not reach across the aisle unless it's with handcuffs
i'll cherish the memory of abbott coming out and conceding before any calls were made for the rest of my life

Los Angeles Police Protective League official and LAPD officer Jamie McBride told NBC today: “If Nithya Raman becomes the mayor, the city needs to prepare for Armageddon. She won’t have to defund the police. Police officers will just leave the department.”

What's your most ridiculous, newly emboldened political demand? (Absurd answers only.)

texas has been blue one day and it's not a utopia yet. . . what gives?
NEW: In June 2025, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said "if people want to vote me out of office" over his crusade to ban THC in Texas, "so be it." A year and change later, voters kicked him out of office. On the role THC policy played in the stunning downfall of Lt. Dan: www.chron.com/culture/arti...
Dan Patrick crusaded against THC. Texas voters rolled him up and smoked him.
"I'm not going to legalize marijuana in Texas. And if people want to vote me out of office for that, so be it."

Musk lost so bad that Texas ended up bluer than Minnesota last night
That means a majority of voters in a state that hadn't elected a Democrat statewide in 32 years individually voted for 27 of 27 Democratic candidates in statewide races after Elon Musk personally outspent every Talarico donor combined to promote Republicans
