100%, the second he dies, each of the half dozen factions of the coalition he bound together is going to try to brand as the true heir of Trump. It’s gonna be like The Death of Superman.

All I’m saying is that if we put up youth vote numbers like last night’s next November…

It’s gonna be an early night β€” a really, really good early night.

Let’s get it done.

Political genius Donald J Trump won by raging against an 80 year old president who presided over rising prices only to take office and be an 80 year old president who *deliberately* raised prices. Dumbest man on earth?

New Jersey and Virginia have chosen well by electing @MikieSherrill and @SpanbergerForVA as their next governors!
They are proven leaders who won by focusing on what matters most - how politics and policy can make everyday life better and more affordable.

Interesting omission by Buttigieg, lol.

Thermostatic backlash happens to Republicans because people hate Republican policies. Thermostatic backlash happens to Democrats because people like Democratic policies but Dems delay implementing them until after elections (e.g. 2010's ACA is popular now but didn't go fully into effect until 2015)

Federal judge rules against defiant teacher who refused to remove crucifix from classroom Marisol Arroyo-Castro’s lawsuit backfired as the court reaffirmed that public schools are not churches

A Catholic teacher put up a crucifix in her public school classroom.

She refused to take it down and eventually quit. Then she sued.

A federal judge just ruled AGAINST her.

It’s a huge win for church/state separation.

Reforms are granted by the ruling class in order to pacify revolutionary action. They can be revoked any moment since class society itself remains intact.

Trump's been saying over and over that he knows voters think the shutdown is Republicans' fault. He wants them to end the shutdown. Dems need to use every ounce of leverage he's been giving them, along with yesterday's thumping

I like that republicans keep calling mamdani a β€œliteral communist” because they’ve been calling everyone to the left of william mckinley a communist for a hundred years and they need to distinguish

I love the random Twitter accounts being like wow Mamdani barely broke 50% seems like he’s not that popular. He won more votes than any mayoral candidate since 1969!

Based on the current vote counts, even if every single person who didn't vote for Mamdani voted for Cuomo, he still would have won and that's pretty neat

this is not true. we’ll get power even if he passes whatever nonsense, and we’re also adding guam if they want it

This is the flipside of the Long Island Massacre last night. The Democrats who got their asses beat were barely Democratsβ€”the old "socially liberal(ish), fiscally conservative, pro cops" punditbrained crew. They ran on a "Moderate Party" line and they were destroyed! Ignore these dumbasses forever

Yes, we surely can't have an executive taking equity portions of private companies whose leaders come to gatherings where they all sit in a room around a table and tell him how he is a golden god.

Who ever would imagine such a thing?

Trump kept posting that prices would go down if New Jersey and Virginia voted in Republicans. Voters didn’t believe him for some reason.
