What resonates with me is how many great candidates won who do not look or sound like me. I love it.

The underestimation of Dems last night was larger than any pro-Republican error in the polls over the last decade with the exception of 2020. And I don't see major media orgs fundamentally reshaping their columnist slates or editorial priorities to address their "blind spot," as they did after 2024.

The Downballot@the-downballot.com · yesterdayTexas Gov. Greg Abbott concedes to Democrat Gina Hinojosa, who will be state's first Hispanic governor and first Democratic leader since George W. Bush beat Ann Richards in 1994. People long joked Texas is the future of the Democratic Party and always would be. That future is finally here.

I'm honestly way too nervous about the election. It would be nice to have an election where these felt low stakes or the end results felt obviously good.

Happy Election Day! Once again, we are voting as a family, as we've done since I carried my oldest son in his baby carrier. We are happy to support Governor Shapiro, Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon, and Tim Briggs. #electionday #vote #election
I attended Josh Shapiro's final campaign stop today. What I greatly appreciate about Governor Shapiro more than any other is that he talks about politics and public service as admirable and worth doing instead of something bad or inherently corrupt.
