NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.

So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.

Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:
Voters Ousted This Pennsylvania Sheriff After He Signed Up to Collaborate With ICE - Bolts
A populous, swing county replaced its GOP sheriff on Tuesday after months of controversy over his joining ICE’s 287(g) program. The Democratic winner promises he’ll end the contract.

That old metaphor about the frog and the boiling water isn’t true: If you put a frog in a pot of water and slowly raise the heat, the frog will jump out before it gets boiled to death.
The question now is whether American journalists are smarter than frogs.

While the government shutdown is finally over, the lack of Democratic leadership from Chuck Schumer led the party to ultimately give in to GOP demands. I react to the end of the shutdown and call for new leaders on the left.

I have been wondering how Trump is going to react to last night because narcissists and racists don't like it when people push back on them.

It's worth reading and subscribing to get the tea. We have to keep going to get him on the run and out of office.

We ran the table and we ran up the score. From Maine to California, from New Jersey to Virginia, in New York City and Pennsylvania, Democracy is still alive and kicking. We are winning the shutdown.

Don't give into fear and cynicism.

Remarkable: In Virginia and New Jersey, Spanberger and Sherrill erased the GOP edge among working class. Per exit polls, each got 50% of noncollege voters, big gains over previous contests.

Shocker: Anti-Trump politics appeals to working class, too!
