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.

Some of the brightest former CIA, FBI, and NSA minds are about to deliver a blunt assessment of the threat we face. I’ve had Steven Cash (He was awarded the CIA’s Medal of Merit for his work on a sensitive project) @steadystatevets.bsky.social on my podcast...he’s the real deal. Stay tuned.
Tomorrow, we release the Steady State’s assessment of American democracy—written by former national security officials using the same tools once used to evaluate authoritarian regimes abroad. The conclusion is clear: We are facing an existential threat of growing autocracy here in the US.
