#EpistemicCrisis Pro tip: I don't listen to con men like @realDonaldTrump. I don't give them "a chance" because...con men. I'm less worried about being "fair" per se than about being tricked. #Enlightenment ideals matter, but some of them must be updated for the 21st century.

really important element of this basically total victory is that it puts the fear of god in republican incumbents and may bring the redistricting push to a total halt

there are basically not enough republican voters to create enough safe seats to withstand the kind of wave that, for example, turned virginia into a democratic supermajority state for the first time in the modern era of its politics

i wouldn't be a total glenn youngkin hater if i didn't mention that the results tonight mean that his total tenure amounted to presiding over the destruction — at least for the next few years — of the virginia republican party. lmao.

USDA Tells Grocery Stores They Can’t Give Discounts to SNAP Recipients

The move is a “perverted interpretation of a rule that stops grocers from price gouging SNAP recipients,” said a critic.

These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

This is pretty incredible.

Let’s hope it’s a sign of things to come.

Let’s hope voters are realizing that it’s the Republicans who want them sick, hungry and poor.

Let’s usher in change!

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.

The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.

"I could smell the onions and mustard."

Mistaken identity led to the arrest of a Colorado man and his two children. The family spent a grueling 36 hours in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and was mistreated, humiliated, and denied enough meals. Join your local resistance movement!

Oh — the situation has escalated.

Pope Leo has spoken out: says "spiritual rights" of detainees should be respected and calls on the "authorities" to allow "pastoral workers" in.

Damn, this poll is brutal! And it’s going to get worse…

The only folks still supporting Trump are MAGA Republicans, and even that won’t last much longer once the fact that Trump is just fine leaving them hungry really sets in.

Virginia Republicans leaned hard into anti-trans propaganda as part of their main messaging in the final months of this campaign.

It fell completely flat with voters. It did not resonate. Virginia Republicans came across as bizarre and detached from working class families.
