The DOE just cut multiple fields from the “professional degree” list, shrinking loan access for future workers. Nursing, PAs, PT, OT, audiology, public health, social work, & education master’s all got dropped.

And yes, they’re fields dominated by women.

The idea that there needs to be one way forward for the Democratic Party is brain dead political writing. San Francisco’s rich tech “liberals” can have a centrist and NYCs youth can have a Democratic Socialist. They’re mayors they don’t need to work together or the same.

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

A coalition that ranges from democratic socialists to neoconservatives, including a lot of energized liberals in between, is large and formidable.

A big pro-democracy tent. A united front. Any internal disagreements can be hashed out once the authoritarian emergency is over.

This really can work.

Prop 50 passed by a comfortable margin, codifying a freshly-gerrymandered congressional map. As a result of the new district lines, we move 11 ratings — all but one shifting in Democrats’ direction.

Exit polls say Abigail Spanberger won young men 56–42 today. Talk about a narrative buster.

My expert political opinion is that killing the job market, raising grocery prices, kicking people off their health care, stealing taxpayer money, and trying to starve 40 million Americans is pretty damn unpopular.

Democrats just ran the table, winning the marquee races -- NJ and VA sweeps, NYC mayor, CA prop, PA Supreme Court -- and lower-profile races in red and purple states across the nation.

If the media you're reading or watching paints this as anything but a massive win, stop reading or watching them.

Voters might not be happy with the Democratic Party, but this election proves that they know good Democratic candidates and messaging when they see them, and they’ll show up.

Grow this energy for 2026!

Dems aren’t fighting with one hand tied behind our back. We’re all in for Prop 50, for California, for America. Let’s write the comeback story together.

I've gotten this question a bunch.

Of the races I was watching on my cheat sheet, here are the GOP wins:

—Nassau County executive & DA
—mayor of Columbia, SC
—mayor of Binghamton, NY
—mayor of Manchester, NH
—prosecutor of Virginia Beach
—a special election for NH state House

note: all holds
I’m inspired to ask—did Republicans win ANYWHERE??

A late night call I missed:

Democrats have flipped back the sole city council seat the GOP has in the Bronx.

Republicans had flipped this council seat in 2023, and it was their first seat in the Bronx since the early 1980s.
