I should really have fit into this post that this county voted for Trump.
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:

Just now: The plaintiffs who were arguing that Utah GOP's congressional map is illegal won in court.
The judge orders one of the two maps submitted by the plaintiffs ('map 1') be used.
The ruling, if it stands, guarantees that Democrats will pick up a congressional seat in Utah next year.

What’s beautiful list of thanksgiving meal recipes. The pie! And love this Delicata Squash Galette recipe from King Arthur Flour.
Plus: Campari! 🤩🍊 It’s really the perfect aperitif for the season, no that I’m biased or anything.

Not, at all, surprised. Troubling for a trade worth 22 billion. I wouldn’t trust any of it, tbh. You couldn’t pay me. I got incredibly sick from a “CBD tincture”, the 1 time a family member insisted. One use, no effects whatsoever,except a Lupus flare that was one of the worst ever. I was so sick.

“We are living in a period of change unseen in 100 yrs,” Eskelund told a recent briefing in Brussels. “When China says China is rising & the west is declining, it’s not necessarily in terms of the economy, but what it sees as parliamentary democracies containing the seeds of their own destruction.”
