Wow, so censorship isn’t actually popular, eh?

Not to replace substance with message but I genuinely do not think that the GOP establishment is prepared, nor capable, of regulating itself in a world where all high profile democrats are directly staring into a camera and telling Trump to go fuck himself.

oh my god they actually did it lmao

Gorsuch finally starting to understand what they have unleashed

I am taking particular pleasure in the complete collapse of trans-as-unbeatable-wedge-issue narrative this morning. It might be an 80-20 issue in voters minds, but it has to be on voters minds to matter. The results in VA demonstrate that it is very much not on voters minds.

Not to over-meta stuff, but the redistricting fight is a glaring example of how so much Republican strategy revolves around assuming Democrats won’t fight back. They truly didn’t fathom that California and certainly now Virginia will retaliate, and they have realized immediately they are now fucked.

[Narrator: they lost 13 seats]

Ok, one last race call for the night from a bellwether county...

The Democrats have FLIPPED the Erie County, PA (Trump+1) County Executive position by 24 POINTS!

one year and everyone is so sick of your boy that Virginia is starting to look like Massachusetts and a democratic socialist won a million votes in NYC, get fucked

Good night for political reporters and politicians to make that break with their X friends.

Pains me to say it but I think this is true. Some of my colleagues in the media who’ve stayed on X don’t even realize how badly its noxious algorithm is skewing their perception of politics and reality.

Also, that place seems designed to make you miserable unless you’re a Nazi. It’s just wretched.

Democrats Retain Control of Pennsylvania's Supreme Court with Three-Seat Sweep - Bolts Three Democratic justices on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court have defeated an unusually high-profile Republican bid to unseat them. They secured large statewide victories on Tuesday, following an histo...

Democrats have successfully defended three seats on the all-important Pennsylvania Supreme Court. This means the court will be controlled by Ds through the midterms, and almost definitely through 2028 as well.

My story on the result: boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...

i don’t like him, but, man, turning down $10M in favor of haterdom is an all-time, world-class, heavyweight champion hater move

It’s cool that Chuck Schumer, Kiersten Gillibrand, and Hakeem Jeffries just proved to every future dem that establishment approval is irrelevant tbh

I better see no less than six stories this week in the NYT about Mamdani voters talking about their economic anxiety in Brooklyn diners and what the GOP can do to win them back.

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

This is looking like a very good night for democracy and sanity. What a relief.

I think I have discovered why young republican men cannot get a date

Pennsylvania voters retain three state Supreme Court justices, preserving Democrats' 5-2 majority NBC News projects the incumbents survived an up-or-down vote to keep their seats on the battleground state’s high court.

Fascinated by the voters who are sufficiently civically engaged to both know that there are elections today and want to vote in them, but also not know that their own state does not in fact have elections today.

Fellow Pennsylvanians: Please go vote today. If you vote for nothing and no one else, at least make sure you vote YES on retaining the three PA Supreme Court judges. They may be the only thing standing between democracy and PA GOP gerrymandering & election interference.

Got that? Vote YES.

TODAY.

A multi-day freakout about Mamdani's chances apparently happened because Millennials were waiting to vote until they could get the special Halloween-themed "I voted" stickers

why we do not have a 24/7 media drumbeat, "the president is mentally incompetent," I will never understand

Change one letter, ruin a candy.

I continue to be kinda flabbergasted by the fact that the dynamic of this shutdown has been Democrats begging Republicans to let them help them not shoot themselves in the foot and the GOPs response has been "oh you hate that? Well we're gonna shoot ourselves in the dick too just to spite you."

some dems still operating under the Obama era notion that there are imaginary referees of politics that award them extra votes for being The Adults In The Room
