On the one hand, neutral data collected and analyzed academically and presented as unbiased and factual is how things are supposed to work.
On the other hand, a group of uninsured people serving as an accidental "control group" and then dying is just effed up.

Some people might think that the 13 Democrats who flipped seats in the Virginia House of Delegates Red to Blue might not have staying power and will just be washed out when the pendulum swings back.

The Republican hate speech towards trans kids was never a winning strategy - and it never will be. Maybe it’s time to try something radical, like focusing on real issues: traffic, infrastructure, cost of living, and making sure every kid gets fed at school, no matter what.

I just got back home from Governor-elect Spanberger's party in Richmond. A few things:
1) Emerge Virginia had a banner night. EVA alumnae flipped the Governor's seat and 8 House of Delegates seats Red to Blue, retained all 17 of HoD incumbents and swept all six local races where they ran. 🧵

Today’s the first Election Day in the odd-number year I haven’t been on a ballot since 2015. Can‘t even begin to express enough gratitude to the voters of SD-30 for electing me to a four-year term in 2023. Sincerely. Winning four battleground campaigns in six years is necessary but exhausting work.

Virginia — you deserve a Governor who will be laser-focused on lowering costs and making life easier. You deserve a Governor who will put you first.

Don't freak out when the first trickle of results come in. The first results are almost always super Republican. They're from areas with smaller populations.
