Repro wins so far:
- Virginia protected its status as the last abortion access haven in the South
- The Pennsylvania Supreme Court retained the three Democratic justices needed to protect abortion
- New Jersey elected a Dem governor (vital as one of the few states w/zero abortion restrictions)

Colorado is doubling down on our super popular program to tax the rich and pay for free school meals for every single public school kid. Universal programs have herd immunity. Tax the rich and use the money to give everyone else something popular.

Btw, Virginia Republicans are getting some very bad advice from anti-abortion powerhouses: this happened in 2023, too, when they all listened to Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America and went all in on abortion. Had their asses handed to them
