Trump won by only 1.4%—a 130,000-vote swing in 3 states and Harris is POTUS. The GOP kept the House by 7,000 votes in 3 districts. Democrats gained a House seat and kept Senate loses to a minimum against a terrible map.
Talk of a mandate was another Trump-Musk con media fell for.

Remember the eclipse back in April?
Since eclipses are rare I practiced camera settings and timing... then changed travel plans, watched the weather like a hawk, and ended up driving quite a bit. It all worked out. I'm proudest of this image and would love to do projects like this more often.
