On Thursday, the The Cook Political Report changed 18 House ratings.
All 18 of the races moved in Democrats' favor.
I wrote about how this is what a Democratic wave in its early stages looks like.

You can actually see the Democratic wave building now 🌊📈
It could get *very* ugly for the GOP

The original (1904) tile work in Spring Street station and the late 30's tiles, noticeably less ornate. The later tilework was installed when IRT lengthened the station (~1937-39).

We're just international pirates. So unworthy of America.
The Pentagon is said to have used a plane that looked like a civilian aircraft in a boat strike. The law prohibits combatants from feigning civilian status to fool adversaries, then attacking and killing them. That is a war crime called “perfidy.”
U.S. Attacked Boat With Aircraft That Looked Like a Civilian Plane
Even accepting the Trump administration’s claim that there is an armed conflict with suspected drug runners, the laws of war bar “perfidy.”

ICE plans to site a mass detention center in Chester, NY (1hr north of NYC) has spurred a huge turnout at the monthly town board mtg. 400-500 protestors have shown up in the cold.

While NIMBYism will help stymie a lot of these ICE detention centers, I’m impressed by how many of tonight’s speakers have instead spoken about immigrants as human beings with rights, ICE as “today’s Gestapo” and these facilities as “concentration camps.” At least here in purple NY, memory lives.

Tomorrow I’m going down to the Trump-Hartsdale station, taking the Trump-Metro North to Trump Gand Central, then getting the Trump-Number 6 train to Trump-SoHo, where I will find a Trump Toilet and take a Trump Dump worthy of Fat Bastard himself.

I count 10 cities in 2025 that are on track to have the fewest murders since at least 1970. Newark is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1956 (though only have data through Oct this year) and San Francisco is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1942.

Ds don't seem to be getting what they need out of Nashville. But if the margin lands at R+3, that's a D+19 shift from 2024 -- we're not talking a wave, we're talking tsunami

Kinda weird that in 2025. Google’s search AI would contradict itself in a short answer to a straightforward question.
