For @msnbc.com I wrote about how Tuesday's election gives Democrats the blueprint for overcoming Republican anti-trans attacks and how thus should settle all the talk about throwing trans people under the bus.

Opinion | Democrats’ election wins showed they don't need to hide their support for trans rights

Republicans repeated Trump's anti-trans strategy from 2024 and lost big. This should be instructive for Democrats.

hey i've heard this one before

Venezuela’s democrats won the 2024 election, and helping them oust Mr. Maduro would be a service to the Americas and U.S. security. It would turn a regime allied with Cuba, China, Russia and Iran into an American ally. It would also allow the Venezuelan diaspora that has fled the regime’s poverty and cruelty to return home and rebuild. Once a wealthy nation, Venezuela could be again.

If Senators are opposed to the U.S. deposing Mr. Maduro, they ought to say so. But the Senators don’t want to do that because it might be unpopular to side with a dictator. It’s so much easier, politically, to charge that Mr. Trump is acting unlawfully than address the merits of U.S. policy.

What's happening in TX-18 is more obscene than not seating Grijalva during pro formas. Turner died in March. Abbott delayed the special election until yesterday, and now it goes to a runoff early *next year.*

Congress can and should require special elections to be held within 90 days of a vacancy.

I still remember seeing that video notification while I was at lunch in school. I absolutely lost my mind watching it, coming up with all sorts of (totally wrong) theories about it. Never could’ve predicted everything that would happen after that day lol

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 1d

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.

1. On Tuesday Night, Democrats won elections nationwide in a stunning rebuke of anti-transgender politics.

From Virginia to New Jersey to New York and beyond, anti-trans candidates fell left and right after spending tons of time and money campaigning on hate.

Great thread on Washington election results

The Urbanist @handle.invalid · 1d

Early results have just started coming in Washington.

The Urbanist @handle.invalid · 1d

In early results, Katie Wilson trails incumbent Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell by 7 points, which would put her within reach of catching him in late returns. This is going to be a nailbiter.

Katie Wilson has 46.18% and Bruce Harrell has 53.32% in Tuesday night turns with 23.36% turnout so far. More than double that is expected.
