slamming tonight’s results down on the table in front of every Republican mapmaker in the country as they prepare their gerrymanders and asking do you feel lucky? well, do ya, punk?

Relieved that voters resoundingly rejected this fascist bullshit.

Angry that we still have at least another year of it, probably another three, and that we're by no means in the clear.

Livid that it all could have been avoided if we had simply not reelected the asshole who tried a coup.

There are 133 counties and county-equivalents in Virginia and New Jersey. In 127 of them, the vote shifted to the Democrats since November 2024. On average, the shift was 6 points to the left.

Trump tries to build a fake wall of inevitability around everything he does.

Today, voters - literally from sea to shining sea - broke through all that, and this is just the beginning.

If I was a Republican member of Congress watching the results tonight, I’d ask myself if I really wanted my legacy to be: Guy who helped an aging pedophile suspend the constitution so he could enrich himself and his friends.

Traditional American politics is premised on the notion that sometimes you lose and sometimes you win and you have to deal with that.

But Trumpism is premised on the notion that any result where you don’t win is illegitimate, unlawful, fraud, criminal.

You can’t negotiate with people like that.

Apologies to my followers for libbing out 😂

Very pleased to see Trumpists eating shit literally everywhere. Fuck them all.

People considered for the Noble Peace prize dont create AI videos of them in crowns dropping shit on their constituents.

INSANE PEOPLE DO THAT

What if instead of playing Game 7, the Blue Jays and Mariners settled on a truce and agreed to send their best 26 guys to go beat the shit out of the Dodgers, for humanity’s sake?

The challenge now is simple: If Trump has the support of the majority of Americans, it should be trivial to turn out more people in more places on some other weekend.

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only.

I’m not saying they’re Nazis. I’m saying being a Nazi isn’t a deal-breaker for them. I’m saying at a minimum they’re Good Germans.

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

I haven't had time to read up on the latest shooting, but I'm going to post my incredibly radical position that a shooting is bad no matter who did it and no matter who was shot.

Stop trying to crack the code of a shooter's motives and focus on the one thing they all have in common -- the guns.

The easiest way to reject the abundant data pointing toward disproportionate right-wing political violence is to dismiss right-wing actors as one-off, apolitical lunatics and any left-wing actors as part of a nebulous, concentrated political project.

My backlog is huge, but instead of playing, I just sit there debating which game to start… and then don’t play anything 😩

That is a great book. I picked up an old hard cover yesterday and am excited to jump back in. Enjoy!

I think Democrats should offer voters a broadly defined anti-fraud platform. Yes, obviously, start with Trump’s influence peddling, but don’t stop there. Online fraud is massive, almost every phone call you get is a scam, and the solution has to be federal or it just won’t work.

I guess she’d aged out. But still seems to fit a certain pattern.

Will everyone quit and roll over? The law firms, media companies, universities, government employees. Will you all cling to what you have and hope you can just ride it out, Republic be damned? Shame on all of you who don’t stand up, just remember we will never forget.

Make time to breathe 🫂💙

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: California is a donor state - we provided $83.1 billion more than we received from the federal government, the same year that Texas received $71.1 billion more than they provided to the federal government. 71% of the U.S. GDP comes from blue counties.

Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.
