We have all-mail elections in WA and ballots can be postmarked on Election Day, so these races haven’t been called yet: these are still early returns. But very, very good news for now.

Sen. Michael Bennet: "Did you know that the president's Middle East adviser was in Moscow on this thread while you were, as director of the CIA, participating in this thread, were you aware of that? Are you? Are you aware of that today?"

Ratcliffe: "I'm not aware of that."

This is really the whole ball game right now, *particularly* among the institutions that make up civil society.

People are losing their jobs. Prices keep climbing. Measles continues to spread. Bird flu is raging. Veterans are getting fired. The stock market is a roller coaster. Our alliances are being shattered. Ukrainian civilians are getting bombed by Russia.

Donald Trump is golfing.

Being able to drop a quarterly US GDP prediction by 5.1% from +2.3% to -2.8% in a single week is one of the most impressive economic developments in the history of the world.

Paul Krugman’s retirement from The NY Times at this moment feels like another blow for a vision of justice and fairness and expert opinions that account for the lives of everyday people. I had counted on him to help get us all through the coming months and years…

Trump killed hundreds of thousands of people with Covid because of his people’s idiocy - appointing Kennedy could do even worse with avian flu.
Not to mention all the other things this idiot believes…

@dansavage.bsky.social actually had the order right: they weren’t gonna stop at gay & trans people - they went after abortion (and birth control is next).

We queer people are the canaries in the coal mine.

Well they say a picture is worth a thousand words, this is spot on. Do not obey in advance!

I thought the gates of hell were in Gambier but I guess there’s also a gateway in the Silicon Valley ;)

Nice to see you over here!

I want my democracy to be by the people and for the people - the truest American dream.

Me too - but with a uterus. You really don’t get it - it’s different.
