I just want you to know that Zohran is really scary so you should definitely leave now that he’s won. Right away. Especially if you’re currently renting a 2-bedroom in north Park Slope or the Upper West side off the 2/3 express. So scary!!! You better break that lease fast.

Populist Dems won. Moderate Dems won. We won in blue states. We won in purple states.
Maybe the take is that (a) people think Trump is out of control; and (b) people like Dems when we're taking a stand and fighting for what we believe in - as we have been for the last month.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"
