The GOP just had its best chance to finally flip a legislative seat in Trump 2.0. Democrats had other ideas.

Chasity Martinez just won a rural Trump+13 in the Louisiana House in a 24-point landslide—an overperformance of 37 points.

Trump is an absolutely failed president just 13 months in. He’s weak and everyone everywhere hates him. It’s only a matter of time before the institutions that went all in on MAGA start course correction.
We’re looking at another very big Dem overperformance tonight—in a Trump+13 district. Dem Chasity Martinez is up 61-39 with more than half the vote in. Notably, like in TX last weekend, the e-day vote has been even *better* for her than the early vote. voterportal.sos.la.gov/graphical

This looks to be an extraordinary overperformance for Dems. With more than three-fourth of the vote in, the Dem leads by more than 20%.

The Epstein Class is really powerful framing
Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

I was working an affordable housing lease-up in Pleasantville in 2007 and a lot of the residents were old casino workers and let me tell you, they hated the shit out of Donald Trump. I think about them a lot now that he’s been the defector leader of the country for a decade. Must be a weird feeling
“When Donald and Ivana came to the casino, the bosses would order all the black people off the floor,” he said. “It was the eighties, I was a teen-ager, but I remember it: they put us all in the back.” www.motherjones.com/politics/201...
Here's the disgusting way black employees were treated at Donald Trump's casino
"They put us all in the back."

There’s not another fan base in the league that could have DeJean, Quinyon, Carter, Bain, Smith, Hunt, Ojomo, Campbell, and probably Dean all entering their prime and debating about a window closing

Rewatching Super Bowl 52:

Chris Collinsworth arguing the Ertz TD should be overturned will never not be annoying

Doug had 2nd and 8 with 2:03 left and ran instead of using the 2 minute warning to throw to get the game sealing first down 🤦🏻‍♂️

I sincerely hope that JD Vance gets this reaction every single place he goes.
Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.
