For anyone who was sleeping, major political news last night: a judge chose a new map for Utah that will deliver a seat to Democrats.
Major point in Dems’ favor that effectively neuters the GOP’s move in Missouri, much like California countered Texas.

Just now: The plaintiffs who were arguing that Utah GOP's congressional map is illegal won in court.
The judge orders one of the two maps submitted by the plaintiffs ('map 1') be used.
The ruling, if it stands, guarantees that Democrats will pick up a congressional seat in Utah next year.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."
The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.
And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Brilliant. Should be a model everywhere
I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

yes this - do both - in addition you have no need to cave on civil rights issues on trans people for example
The new Countdown Podcast drops at midnight: sure Trump got the spit kicked out of him and is now backed into a corner where he has to fold on the shutdown. But the real lesson of the landslide is: Dems! Wherever you are: Run on "Your Money Issues" AND "Trump is Death." It's simple!

Wow, huge results for Democrats in tough county executive elections in some of Pennsylvania's swingiest counties.
They by the county executive offices in Erie County, Lehigh County, and Northampton County by roughly 20% each.
This is a FLIP in Erie County.
