These Mississippi elections were called to rectify the GOP’s racial gerrymandering. If these Dems win their races, they will break the GOP supermajority in the state Senate, increasing their power to fight back against Republican recklessness.

Why is educational attainment so predictive of partisan alignment? We’ve been moving that direction for a while. What happens at college has something to do with resentments of non-college voters. Thread on The Hard Hat Riots…
Between 1962-1972, Harvard and MIT graduated 21,593 students. 14 (1 in 1542) died in Vietnam.
In the same decade in South Boston, 1 in 80 draft-age boys died in Vietnam.

Last week, Democrats voted for a bill that would keep the government open and restore health care funding for millions of Americans who rely on it.
Republicans blocked that bill and left town.
If the government shuts down, it's because they refused to negotiate.

The goal was accomplished. It’s nationalized & Democratic-controlled states can & are now coordinating to counter what Republican-controlled states are doing. These people have bills & are missing their other jobs. If you’re mad at them you’re really not following along. Skill issue on your end.

TX Dems these past couple of weeks stopped a GOP attempt to rig the state's congressional races, fleeing to IL to deny the votes needed for it. IL Gov Pritzker protected them from arrest. This spurred CA and NY Dems to start redrawing their maps. Good. Dems, keep fighting.

Whatever Democrats think of Newsom, this is a big reason his current media strategy is winning him lots of attention.
one of the smart things that Newsom is doing here is implicitly calling out the insanity of how much Trump has been normalized by media by forcing them to think about what it looks like when somebody else does it
