And truly, there was a time when any run-of-the-mill journalist would do both.
you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

It is truly incredible to watch centrist writers whose stock in trade is to blame the left to operate under right wing authoritarianism

Not a joke.
Has anybody else already made the joke that Jeffrey Epstein is like Banquo's ghost haunting a mad king?

53 NYT articles by Maggie Haberman about Hillary’s emails, 48 about Benghazi, not one about Trump’s mafia ties or Epstein.

We always look back at how overboard the NYT went on Hillary's emails, but I think it's also informative how underboard they went on Access Hollywood tape. The very first story led with his apology, as if that was more important than the existence of the tape itself.

The Heritage mess demonstrates the GOP's now terminal infection with the conspiratorial antisemitism (and racism) that began eating away at the party decades ago, and consumed it under Trump, as I discussed last year. It's a warning re how bigotry can insinuate itself into political institutions.

Democrats not just met but exceeded every single one of these conditions tonight
A win is a win, but these are my benchmark ranges/outcomes for a ‘blue tsunami’ on Tuesday.

#VAGov - Spanberger +10-15
#NJGov - Sherrill +8-12
#Prop50 - YES +20-25
Georgia - Both Dem PSC candidates win
#VAAG - Jay Jones wins
#VALeg - Dems wins 58-62 seats
NYC - Mamdani gets above 50%

These were the obsequious headlines a Republican got for winning a race by less than 2%. Spanberger won by 15 tonight. The coverage should be absolutely apocalyptic for Rs tomorrow, but it largely wont be bc political news media sees Rs as their friends & allies & would never trash them like that
We damn well better get a blizzard of "bad news for Republicans" pieces tomorrow.

I hear you Georgia. Thanks for joining tonight’s Dem win party.
Congrats to Peter Hubbard, Alicia Johnson & Georgia voters for decidedly flipping 2 PSC seats blue! The GA PSC has far reaching effects on our lives, from our power bills, to climate, jobs, telecommunications, and energy projects. The GOP has had a lock on PSC for decades. Time for change! #GAPol
Democrats have flipped two Georgia Public Service Commission seats from red to blue in the first win for GA Democrats at the nonfederal statewide level since 2006.

The Georgia Public Service Commission plays an instrumental role in determining energy policy for the state.

And polls are open in the city until *8PM* after a court ruled yesterday that Atlanta residents have an extra hour to vote. But if you show up between 7 and 8 you won't be allowed to cast a ballot in the PSC race and must use a provisional ballot. #atlpol

Another 👀 election - Early voting data points to a possibility that Democrats could flip Public Service Commission seats in Georgia.

Two statewide races in an otherwise local/municipal cycle, with Fulton+DeKalb accounting for ~26% of EV + Black voter share ~34%, *notably* up from 20/21/24.

Turnout is heavier than expected in Atlanta this morning, but the line at my polling location was moving quickly! Georgians are tired of high power bills and not having a voice on the PSC.

That changes today. Get out and vote for Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard today!

Georgia, the energy on the ground is REAL. Our Chair Charlie Bailey & DNC Vice Chair Jane Kleeb are seeing it firsthand — folks are fired up about these sky-high energy bills and ready for change.

Douthat writes that 2024, when Harris lost by 1.5% of the popular vote, was "an ideological referendum and progressivism lost." I wonder why he didn't view the 2020 election, when Trump lost by 4.5% of the popular vote, as a far more significant loss for conservatism.

Comparing the relation between the presidential election results in 2020 and 2024 with the post-election commentary is a fascinating exercise.

2020
Biden 81,283,501 popular votes, 51.3%
Trump 74,223,975 popular votes 46.8%

2024
Trump 77,302,580 49.8%
Harris 75,017,613. 48.3%

since 2016 there’s been a huge backlash against things women like, women’s styles of communication, women’s jobs, and women themselves. if you think that had nothing to do with politics, or that it was all on the right, you’re at best deluding yourself
The almost knee jerk hate/rejection of anything fem for the masculine is a real problem that I worry about.

“Normies don’t believe Republicans could possibly as evil as their actions suggest so they must not be doing it” explains so much
Recently my brother in law explained what gerrymandering was to a coworker and they didn’t believe him because if that were really happening there would be riots in the street
This week I had someone tell me they're not worried about SNAP being cut off because "that's illegal, so it's impossible Trump could do that, so obviously it's just media sensationalism." Another person told me they weren't worried about ICE because "they can't detain you if you're legally here."
