A special election in a reliably pro-Trump Texan district, where the majority of voters are Republican, Trump personally endorsed the MAGA candidate, and the GOP outspent Dems by 7-to-1.
Democrats won with a 31% swing.
The mid-terms are going to be a wipeout.

Alex Pretti was my childhood best friend, Kristen Radtke writes. “There is something destabilizing about having known someone only as a child and then hearing they were gunned down in the street. The person you see in your mind lying in that street is still a child.”

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.
“Everybody Showed Up”: Stunning Crowds at Minnesota Day of Strike and Shutdown Against ICE
Extreme cold didn't stop the shutdown on Friday as some 100 faith leaders were arrested, residents stayed home from work, and an estimated 50,000 or more marched through downtown Minneapolis.

Do you know how insecure and empty you have to be to accept someone else's Nobel Peace Prize? Especially after the prizegivers make clear that the award is given on the merits and cannot be conveyed?
It's twice as humiliating as accepting a manufactured peace prize by a sports league.

The Immigration Act of 1924 helped keep out Italian immigrants, who were considered non-white. Dino Paul Crocetti changed his name to Dean Martin for his career. Frank Sinatra refused to change his name. Here he is reminding kids what it means to be accepting of differences…and not act like Nazis.

The thing I think I love the most about Lancaster is that no matter what the entertainment is, people will depart the shops and absolutely find change for the donation buckets. One guy in front of us had zero clue what was happening but he chucked a fiver in anyway 😂 #MerryChristmas

Rob Reiner made some great movies but he was also unafraid to speak the truth, and was one of the public voices who knew you don’t squander your platform, and only got louder about opposing evil fucks as he got older. Legend.

Imagine Spinal Tap being your film directorial debut, then just knocking it out of the park every time thereafter... Insane. Iconic and legendary. We should talk about Rob Reiner like we do about Spielberg.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.
