You'll see various websites tomorrow with election results in #Virginia.
VPAP.org is a long-time favorite for many and StateNavigate.org is a new one for this year.
Just make sure you have the official one from the Virginia Department of Elections open:

Mamdani did this without tacking to the center by accepting republican framing and throwing marginalized people under the bus or even apologizing for being socialist; something that party operatives who actually want to win might learn from.
Across the city, more than 164,000 New Yorkers flocked to the polls this weekend for the first two days of early voting, according to the Board of Election, a staggering turnout that nearly matches the entire early voting count in 2021.
First Weekend of Early Voting Shatters Record, as Mamdani Rallies Thousands in Queens
Turnout was massive across all five boroughs, with voters telling THE CITY that they were motivated to vote for — and against — the Democratic nominee.

America doesn’t have a king. But Trump acts like one—ignoring the Constitution, detaining citizens without due process, and attacking the rule of law.
That's what tomorrow's No Kings Day protest is about.

Somebody made a parody account in the guise of Gul Dukat posting in the voice of the POTUS and it was very good and funny, but sometimes you'll watch a Ferengi episode and realize the president is much more Zek than Dukat.

You can make a 20D-18R Texas using 2024 data even though Democrats lost the state by 14pts.
You can also make a 32R-6D map using the same data. Gerrymandering is stupid powerful.

As a non-theist living with a core principle: "You only get the one life, so be the best human you can be," this resonates hard.

Yup. They’re running the same playbook. And they’ll fail the same way.
Echoes here of the right-wing intellectuals' early reaction to the rise of Barack Obama—not criticizing his skin color directly but calling him a globalist elite, a man from nowhere, a person with only the loosest attachments of place, et very much cetera.

Zohran’s results so far just show how tired Americans are of the status quo, how we need creative, people-first campaigning and governance, and why positive, progressive politics are the future.
