Populist Dems won. Moderate Dems won. We won in blue states. We won in purple states.
Maybe the take is that (a) people think Trump is out of control; and (b) people like Dems when we're taking a stand and fighting for what we believe in - as we have been for the last month.

A few months ago, I started to hear from history teachers that the curriculum materials they’d used for years were being pulled from the market, or they were not being allowed to use them because of political pressures. My investigation of this trend published today: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/27/u...

I don't have a dog in the "who's gonna be the new pope" fight but for crosswording purposes, some cardinals whose names have very valuable letter combinations but haven't appeared in crosswords yet include ERDO (that's a big one), TAGLE, OUELLET, and PAROLIN. www.huffpost.com/entry/next-p...
These Cardinals Are Seen As Contenders To Be The Next Pope
Even though cardinals don’t campaign for the job, there are always front-runners going into a conclave to choose the next pope.

Trump wants you to fear what can happen to you if you resist. But you should really be fearing what will happen to you, and your loved ones, and your country if you don’t resist.

“If we ever wondered about Mr. Trump’s intentions to become a dictator, we should wonder no more," Susan Shelton writes in a letter to The Times. "What more effective way to claim power than to make innocent people realize they can be arrested and made to disappear with no recourse?”

A Florida high school teacher has been fired for using a student's chosen name instead of their deadname, a first under a 2023 law signed by Ron DeSantis. “She is a beloved teacher that changed her students’ lives” said one parent leading a petition with 7,400 signatures demanding her reinstatement
Florida teacher loses job for calling student by preferred name
It’s the first known dismissal stemming from the conservative campaign to limit schools' recognition of transgender identity.

There’s an alternate universe out there where Harris won and the most ridiculous things on the news are a Fox panel on whether her yellow cardigan is “presidential” and a viral clip of Tim Walz butchering the name of an entree at a fancy restaurant.

Happy #PublicSchoolsWeek!
Let's celebrate everything our public schools do for kids and families-but we also must recognize what's at stake. We must demand that lawmakers strengthen, not undermine, public schools.

Remember: Wealth can’t be separated from power. Power begets wealth and wealth begets power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of billionaires.
