Says a lot about how much Americans hate republicans that this midterm result is occurring while conservatives own basically every media outlet.

Ossoff: "In sweeping and decisive victories, the American people have rebuked the depravity, corruption, and incompetence of the failed lame duck president, Donald J Trump"
This is shaping up to be the biggest House popular vote victory for any party since 1974 This is a Watergate-level repudiation of the party in power (A prospect I raised here: www.ms.now/opinion/trum... )
Opinion | Trump’s historic unpopularity gives Democrats a shot at last-minute undecided voters
G. Elliott Morris: Polls show President Trump has squandered his party’s advantage on several issues it has dominated for decades.

Thank you, NY-10 voters! It’s a profound honor to represent you in the U.S. Congress. Whether you voted for me or not, I’ll work hard to serve you, your families, and your neighbors every single day.
Considering how eager voters were to run back to the right in 2024, Chuck/Hakeem better not fuck these next two years up for Angie Nixon. If they fuck around and do nothing and shit stays the same, Florida isn't gonna fall so easy. Better do some shit when you got all the political capital

Update: LOL. FURTHERMORE: LMAO Yeah sex is great but have you ever heard someone tell Steve Bannon that exit polls show that young men are evenly split between Dems and Republicans and he goes silent and then says, in a very soft voice: "that can't be right"
Not to single out David here, but this makes me want to scream. You can find great political analysts who haven’t been accused by a dozen women of sexual misconduct when they were running a news division. Predators have the news judgment of predators, and that makes them blind to all kinds of things

Schools can and should do what a lot of the rest of us did and switch to less contaminated search engines. I hope I see the day when the Google Empire collapses along with the Facebook Empire for corrupting their main product while overextending themselves on their Next Big Thing.

Another thing on this: I can assure you that folks will cite high Black turnout this midterm as evidence that the Roberts’ Court in Shelby County, Rucho, Callais, etc has been justified in weakening the VRA. But people outworking discriminatory law/jurisprudence is not justice or good policy.
Josh Zingher@zingherpolisci.bsky.social · 2d agoBlack turnout across the South is through the roof and the national media seems to be ignorant of the fact that effectively ending the VRA is part of a broader effort to roll back democracy. Black voters are mobilizing in response. For a region with perpetually low turnout, this is huge.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is warning voters against getting too comfortable before Election Day. During a rally for Rep. Pat Ryan in the Hudson Valley tonight, AOC told voters to 'never let up on the gas' and ensure that every voter casts their ballot.

Alexandra Petri@petridishes.bsky.social · yesterdaynothing says “compelling final message to voters” like “maybe we’ll rename it the Trump reflecting pool”
Was just talking to my husband about this. What aggrieved, sulking men on the right miss most of all is the impunity they imagined their predecessors enjoyed (and in some cases, definitely did). They'll dress it up as anything but that, but they long for a world of special treatment and exceptions.
