Looking back not too bad. Nailed the Zohran margin, except add 4 to Zohran and Cuomo and subtract 7 from Sliwa

Spanberger pretty close, Sherrill way underestimated, and Jay Jones managed to squeak by

Initial reactions--not a fan. We are getting likely 2 late 1s for one of the best players at one of the most premium positions in the NFL. Cannot just replace a Sauce Gardner.

Very happy for Sauce tho. Gets to play for a real franchise.

Garrett Hurt. Breece wants out. AG is not the guy. Fields is not the guy.

Jets are so COOKED

And to be clear, I do care, and think this is awful. Hamas must lay down arms and let go of their grip on Gaza

By the way Hamas is currently slaughtering Gazans in the streets. Public executions. Lawlessness. Chaos. Pure evil. But no one is saying anything.

Really makes you wonder how many people actually cared about the lives of Gazans or just wanted to blame the Jews

No way the Jets threw a check down on 4th and 12. Unbelievable. In fact, it’s so unbelievable that it’s incredibly believable

This Jimmy Kimmel situation is truly terrifying. We are witnessing an authoritarian crackdown of free expression in the press. What Trump and Vance have been saying all over in public is far worse and more dangerous than anything Jimmy said. And it does not matter anyway!!! First Amendment!!!

Government to take all control out of Hamas and remove all terror governmental infrastructure. Then Israel and the reformed (no pay for slay) PA would work on a 2-state agreement that leads to Palestinian statehood, and Israel and Palestine can live side by side peacefully. Two peoples in one land

This rebuilding project would also not be anything like Trump’s idea, but would be led by Palestinian-American leaders to rebuild faithfully to the culture. Should it be nicer than it was before? Perhaps. But it should still feel Palestinian.
Then, the same Arab partners would form a TEMPORARY…

Most importantly, the US and Israel would guarantee a right of return to each and every Gazan, tied to all aid to Israel. If Israel prevents even one Gazan from returning home after or during the reconstruction, all aid contracts would be canceled between Israel and the US.

What can be saved will be saved and what cannot be saved will be destroyed to make it easier to rebuild. Egypt, Jordan, UAE, and Saudi will provide TEMPORARY and dignified housing for the refugees of Gaza. Every Gazan should be given the option to TEMPORARILY leave Gaza during the rebuilding effort…

Their arms, and their leaders in Gaza and abroad are given permanent asylum and guarantees they won’t be killed in Qatar or another similar state.

With the financial backing of the US and other Arab partners, (ideally not under Trump) Gaza will undergo a mass rebuilding a la the Marshall Plan…

There are no good options for the future of Gaza. Everything seems horrible. But if I were in a position to have some influence in this arena, here is one proposal I have:

Israel and Hamas agree to a permanent ceasefire where Hamas releases all hostages, both dead and alive, and Hamas lays down…
