WOW: In a special election for Kentucky State Senate District 37, Democrat Gary Clemons has won with a staggering 72.5% of the vote, defeating Republican Calvin Leach, who received 25%.
Harris won the district by 6, so Clemons outperformed the 2024 results by roughly 42 points.

On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

Out of the 39, Nigeria is also the country most heavily impacted by the ban on non-immigrant visas. Excluding the COVID years, from FY 2015 to 2024 an average of 128,000 Nigerians were granted nonimmigrant visas each year. These were primarily tourist and student visas, which are now barred.

NEW: President Trump is expanding the previous 19-country travel ban to a whopping 39 countries (plus the Palestinian Authority), and appears to expand a block on legal immigration to now include spouses, children, and parents of U.S. citizens, who were previously exempted.

One reason the GOP is repeatedly terrible at managing the economy is that they believe public sector jobs aren’t real jobs, & they demonize/defund the govt - at both the state & federal levels - every time they hold power. Only difference this time is how wildly illegally they’ve done it via DOGE.
Federal government employment is down more than 270k since the start of the year amidst DOGE cuts—that's nearly 9% of the Fed workforce
The large drops in recent months are caused by many workers who've been on deferred resignation becoming officially unemployed
