If you don’t accept my 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼 family and friends, fuck off. And if you voted for that bigot Trump…that tells me you approve of that racist behavior. So again, fuck off.

If a Democrat did any of this, it would be nonstop, widespread media coverage of his mental decline along with calls for resignation

Trump seems even more unhinged than usual in these new videos. The transition at the 40-second mark alone is just bizarre: "Leave them alone! WARNING!"

He's shouting and almost slurring his words, to say nothing of the fact that he's threatening to start a new war against Nigeria.

Even this liar doesn’t believe this. Even Trump doesn’t believe this. He shows how much contempt he has for American voters every single day with these pathetic lies. This after claiming 8 million people at No Kings were paid protestors. He isn’t fooling anyone with this BS. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Johnson: What happened last night was blue states and blue cities voted blue. We all saw that coming. No one should read too much into last night's election results. Off year elections are not indicative of what's to come. That’s what history teaches us.

I gave a campus talk last night on Trump's first 100 days for the WUD Society & Politics group. A student asked me if I thought that, at some point, we might start to describe the US as a competitive authoritarian regime. I said that we were already there, it's just that most folks haven't noticed:

i closed out my column this week with this preemptive jab at basically every commentator currently looking for ways to say that last night didn’t count

If these elections had gone the other way — if the Democratic Party had underperformed or even lost one of these contests — then every commentator under the sun would say, rightfully, that Democrats were in disarray; that even the president’s deep unpopularity couldn’t keep them afloat with voters.

But Tuesday was a Democratic victory. And the party didn’t just win — it won by commanding majorities on virtually every field of play. In polls, in focus groups and now at the ballot box, the public is telling us something very clearly: Trump is simply too much. If this is an opportunity for Democrats to win back lost ground — and it is — then it is also a warning to a Republican Party that has tied its entire identity to the man from Mar-a-Lago.

not to bring the vibe down, but my guess is that after tonight Trump will probably double down on gerrymandering, voter suppression, and intimidation as tactics to disincentivize Dem turnout ahead of next year‘s midterms. (with margins like these, it won’t matter, but it’s a time to be vigilant)

He says he got a congratulatory call from Curtis Sliwa, though.

Trump will never lose that 30% approval from his diehard supporters.

Marco Foster @marcofoster.bsky.social · 1d

Rachel Maddow: “Donald Trump has never been more unpopular than he is right now. His disapproval rating is higher than it was in the immediate aftermath of January 6th. 63% disapprove, only 37% approve of Trump. He is 26 points underwater. That’s astonishing”

The big county I was waiting for in New Jersey, Passaic County, which is 42% Hispanic. We have 95% of the vote in and this is what it will end up:

2020 President: D+16
2024 President: R+3
2025 Governor: D+15

There is a ton of evidence that Hispanics in 2025 shifted hard back to Democrats.
