Voters have given reporters a big mandate to ask follow-up questions of Republican office-holders.

Jay Jones winning means we have not successfully bracketed in what a Democratic politician can say about Republicans

This is another thing! For all the worry about ICE agents posted outside polling places, that would been a lot easier to prove out in an off year election with action in a very limited number of places, and there was none.

Don't Fret. It Adores You @seed-corn-thoughts.bsky.social · 7h

So this election was about as total as it gets, and in an off-year, with large amounts of contravening evidence to the idea that the 2024 Trump coalition was in any way durable and no evidence of GOP rigging, if happening, having significant impact. Just a blue flood.

they’re going to make the entire 2026 midterms about trans kids in bathrooms and they are going to get absolutely dunked to hell

protect trans kids: it’s the right thing to do and you’re going to win

i genuinely think they believe that the they/them ads won the election and not like, anger over inflation

and so they'll keep trying to double down on social issues

that’s absurd, i think it’s entirely believable that bill ackman offered him ten million dollars to drop out and sliwa told him to gargle his balls and everyone should know that

Trump still has the power of the regulatory state and can abuse it for three more years or whenever his body gives out, whichever comes first

David Dayen @ddayen.bsky.social · 9h

At this point, anyone—a university, a law firm, a corporation, a Democrat—bending the knee to Trump is doing it because they want to, not because of any political reality.

We can send two republicans to the unemployment line, and keep the dem seats relatively safe.

The map looks outrageous, but what MAGA is doing to this country is so much worse. This is how we win back power and make people’s lives better

this is essentially the Whitmer playbook. She campaigned on very simple issues, and then once she had a majority, turned the woke meter up to twenty thousand

the ur-winemom crown is there for Spanberger to pick up if she wants it/can pull it off. the moderate governors ain't doing great right now

this sincerely is just misogyny. this is people who internalized, above all else, that the lessons of the 2010s was "girlboss bad." and, that's why women are losing rights now. because there was never anything wrong with "girlbosses," and we lied to a generation of young women about this.

Screenshotted because I don’t want an army of diphshits fouling my mentions but like… *what?^ Liz Lemon was not a villain unless you just… don’t like women for some reason. The only 30 Rock character who would be a villain if you redid the show today would be Jack Donaghy.

im sure they will keep the 2021 precedent that the opposing party winning the VA governorship invalidates any mandate the president had and means that the current party in power needs to move to the center.

Trump won in 2024 by 1.5%pts and the press acted like he got a mandate to be god-emperor, can’t wait for them to be dismissive of victories in places the Democratic Party hasn’t won in 20 years

Runoff! Guess what, Abbott can wait another six months before setting that one, too!

Andy Craig @andycraig.bsky.social · 14h

Texas has a special election for Sylvester Turner's seat (TX-18), a full seven months after he died, because Abbott capriciously delayed it.

A simple, long overdue reform would be for Congress to mandate by federal law how soon after a vacancy special elections have to happen.

THE MAJORITY of money spent by Winsome Earle-Sears and outside groups in Virginia went to anti-trans ads. The GOP needs a new playbook after tonight. Voters are tired of this song.

Ideally “Dems are out of touch with the voters” talk would be ethered after tonight but I do wonder how pundits will try to work back to it tomorrow. Totally ignore this even happened, perhaps?
