I've been saying for a long time now, voters REALLY don't like transphobia.

whatever you think of Spanberger, the fact that her opponent ran a campaign based almost entirely on transphobia and is on track to eat shit in the biggest blowout the state has seen since 2009 is unambiguously a huge win
Earle-Sears ran what felt like 12 billion ads about how much she hated trans kids and I didn’t hear a single pundit say she should stick to real issues that affect real people.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrat Abigail Spanberger wins Virginia governor’s race.

Pressley has my primary vote in a heartbeat if she runs. Markey's an alright guy, no shade, but he's been on Capitol Hill longer than I've been alive and I'm 42. Moulton is right out.

I yearn for a political party where not endorsing Mamdani while praising Dick Cheney gets you automatically booted out
A lot of people in the US really think we're the only civilized country on earth and everyone else is just out there using stone knives & bearskins.

The major opposing candidates called him a jihadist and Democratic leadership didn't make a peep about it!
Boy Mamdani's race is really a vivid reminder that anti-Islamic bigotry is 100% accepted in US public discourse. People don't even bother dog whistling, it's just right out in the open.

i hope to see enterprising democrats announce their intent to retire schumer and gillibrand over the next two years.
Q: It's election day in NYC. Did you vote for Mamdani or Cuomo?

Schumer: "Look, I voted, and I look forward to working with the next mayor to help NYC."

👀 Scoop: IRS Direct File, the free government-backed program that let you file your taxes for free, is dead.

IRS wrote to state tax agencies saying it would not be operational this coming tax season, per records I've obtained.

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."

This is so bleak. Xania Monet is not a real person. This is an entirely ai generated artist with AI generated music that has millions of monthly listeners and music getting actual radio play and millions of listens.

It's digital blackface.
