this is genuinely wild

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Pressley is not my fave, but given the alternatives (80 yr old with good politics or young candidate with shitty politics), she would be my pick

Tom Hanks explains to Stephen Colbert why he masks on the subway:

"I'm doing a play right now so I cannot get sick... I've had COVID enough in my life, I don't need to do that again. So I'm wearing this for health reasons."

Thank you Tom! Masks are still a key part of public health.

Soft prediction, feel free to own me if wrong: by 2029 there’s a Dem in the wh. They will be elected in part on promise to hold the second trump admin accountable for many crimes. Shortly after getting in, median voter public sentiment will turn to “just move on, we’re done with that”

Sarah McBride reached out to me in August through an intermediary to ask me to tone down the criticism of her after this post because it was her birthday. She also wanted to meet with me to discuss the issue. She asked for my availability. I sent my calendly and she never booked a meeting.

Sarah McBride's first bill is a handout to billionaires running private equity funds who want to fleece retail investors.

Sucking up to private equity billionaires won't save you.

A person with long brown hair and glasses speaks while facing slightly to the side. Overlaid text reads: "Sarah McBride’s First Successful Bill Is a Private Equity Law Co-Sponsored by an Anti-Trans Republican – by Samantha Riedel." The image is from "them" media. Below, a caption notes that Delaware Rep. Sarah McBride, the first out transgender person elected to U.S. Congress, passed her first bill: a proposal to expand access to private equity investments.
