i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist
the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.

This is why Chuck has NO REASON to come back to the table. Let them twist. If you're coming back with wins this big during a shutdown, the people know where their bread is buttered. Don't throw them a lifeline. These aren't tiny margin wins. They're blowouts.
Pretty uniform swings occurring so far but the biggest ones appear to be in the suburbs. If you're a Republican who can see your neighbor's house from your kitchen you should retire.
Decision Desk has called both of Georgia's statewide races, for public service commissioner, for Democrats.
If confirmed, this would be a really huge win for Democrats:
It'd be their first statewide win in any non-federal race since 2006!

Behold, the expert predictive quality of election betting markets. They can tell you a thing will happen right when everyone else figures out it will!

ICYMI, Trump posted that he wanted to fund SNAP "as soon as possible . . . [i]f we are given the appropriate legal direction."
So a federal judge said "here's the legal direction" and ordered either full payment by today or partial by Wednesday.

![Also, the President of the United States stated Friday evening
that:
I do not want Americans to go hungry . . . [I] ask the Court to clarify how
we can legally fund SNAP as soon as possible. . . . If we are given the
appropriate legal direction by the Court, it will BE MY HONOR to
provide the funding . . .

So, here’s the ORDER and here’s the legal direction from the Court.2 Having
reviewed the Complaint, Motion, Memorandum of Law, Declarations, and evidence
in support of the Motion, as well as the papers filed in opposition to this Motion, and
1 The Court greatly appreciates the President’s quick and definitive response
to this Court’s Order and his desire to provide the necessary SNAP funding.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:24vva42nxim6zbcmnozegoef/bafkreif3bu5vntalhpnkici3obgko2pk66tq25fd2yq7e3bwarrhrdzeqm@jpeg)
