Another consequence of putting Republicans and Trump in power -- didn't have this problem under Biden a year ago, that's for sure.
But tariffs, massively pulling back on federal investment, etc. -- it all adds up to a piss poor job market.

The myth of Trump as unbeatable and a perpetual winner is just that. The GOP struggles when he's not running, and there's no evidence his personal popularity carries over to other R's. 2026 is shaping up to be a massive loss for the GOP.

These are good odd year wins. That said, a political system that oscillates between a liberal party and an increasingly fascist party will continue to degrade and move right.
We still need movement orgs and political leaders to embrace year-round democracy and deep reform. Hope they can get there.

Democrats are currently ahead in 63 (!!!) races in the Virginia House of Delegates.
If this holds, it would be one of the largest state legislature swings in the last 4 years.
Its an absolute bloodbath for anti-trans Republicans.
