Ryan will NEVER give up the ghost on that damn aquarium haha

(Of course I made the mistake of mentioning the aquarium to my six-year-old who now asks ten times a week when the aquarium is coming...so I kinda hope it still happens haha)
First time in 50(!) years it'll be out of GOP hands!
Of note this is the first time in FIFTY YEARS the country legislature is flipping!
Big night! Was hoping it'd flip, but didn't think it was possible!
My home county getting in on the Blue Wave action as well!

Off-year elections matter!
Dems are on track to flip the Onondaga County Legislature (where Syracuse, NY is). It was 12R-5D. Dems are currently up 10D-7R. That's 5 seats flipping in a 17 seat legislature! Don't overlook the local elections people!!
Unfortunately much of what was left of the sensible GOP has already found other employment.

Will be fascinating to see the reaction to tonight though.
If the Senate either strikes a deal or goes nuclear and passes something he has no choice. I think too much of his own caucus would revolt at that point.

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight
And that's before the economy really shits the bed after the Holidays are over.
How much you wanna bet Thune has a deal on the table with enough Dems to end the shutdown and Trump isn't giving permission because he can't stand the idea of giving even a little ground?
Meanwhile on TruthSocial
No, but I would absolutely argue that the fact that a 34-year-old Muslim immigrant who was a complete unknown 10 months ago just won the mayorship of the most populous city in the country despite(?) running on populist socialism also means something.
i'm deeply glad he won but i do want to note that these are not exactly results that suggest that populist socialism is an instant win button in national politics
Such a weird set of circumstances...all that mattered was getting over the line. (The "super impressive" part was just blitzing a lazy, arrogant Cuomo in the primary.)

Now comes the hard part.
No shit. They're going to try.

It's been a great night. But it's going to be a fight every day from now until November 2026, November 2028, January 2029, and beyond.

You willing to fight for your country? You better be.
It definitely is. And there's no way the overwhelming rejection of MAGA by young women hasn't also swayed the thinking of young men.
can we talk about the women ages 18-29 though??? how is that not the story here
A moment of silence, please, for the "young men are all MAGA now" narrative.

After the GOP gets crushed in '26 Completely Impotent Lame Duck Trump is going to be absolutely fucking hilarious.

The two watch words @gregsargent.bsky.social - as I’ve been saying for… too long now - are “Affordability” & “Accountability”

And Dems across the broad party will apply that differently.

But the goal is the same.
You also gotta wonder if MTG was really just ahead of the curve on abandoning ship on Trump.

My God, a powerless, pathetic lame duck Trump in 27-28 would be hilarious.
I'm gonna take a wild guess and say it will be "double down on transphobia with a generous helping of Islamophobia and just general all-around racism."
And like, republicans, before tonight you were already deeply underwater, like George W. Bush after Katrina level disapprovals, and now you’ve got the stink of loser on you

you gotta plan to right this ship?
It's shocking how quickly the worm turned here. The MAGA brand is a toxic brand among the youth.
After years of decline, 18–29-year-olds delivered a 35-point margin for @SpanbergerForVA — the biggest for Dems since 2017.

Older voters barely moved, but young voters anchored the Democratic turnaround.
If you want to feel even better about tonight, think about how mad Stephen and Katie are right now.
Never forget it. There is literally no reason to give up.

Fight. Win. Fuck fascism.
There are more of us than there are of them.
If the POPE HIMSELF actually showed up at an ICE facility, would they let him in?
BREAKING: After ICE refuses to allow detained migrants to receive the Eucharist, Pope Leo calls on Trump and Vance to respect migrants‘ dignity and religious liberty.

“They must allow ministers to assist with their needs. They've been separated from their families and no one knows what happens.”
I wouldn't *hate* Von...pass rush help ain't easy to find when you have no cap space.

I wouldn't understand Deebo at all in terms of fit.
