NYC, WTA dubs. We need to codify norms as they have been eviscerated.

The bread loaf I made has an unusual resemblance to Peter Boyle’s head in young Frankenstein.

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

Mamdani voted for himself on the Working Families Party line and Sliwa voted for himself on his "Protect Animals" line, which means none of the candidates actually voted Democratic or Republican.

Support redistricting while pushing for federal requirements for independent commissions. Keep the moral high ground but don’t unilaterally disarm

Donald Trump became a lame duck tonight, officially.

Zohran will end up with a higher pop vote than POTUS so he must have an unassailable mandate, right???

Everybody gets that Bloomberg is the main reason Cuomo is still afloat, right?

CONFIRMED: Georgia Democrats have won their first statewide elections for non-federal offices since *2006.*

The two Dem challengers, Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard, have ousted two GOP Republican commissioners on the state's utility commission.

Let's return to a world where shame and consequences are administered _where deserved_.

I engaged in a lot of schadenfraude earlier this year but relearned my empathy for many who are genuinely suffering due to (you know who's) policies.

Ackman, however, is an exception.

OTOH I don't believe he's capable of suffering, only grievence.

I truly believe there is a _wide_ range or ideological Dems that can win if they can communicate well and authentically.

People will listen if you speak to their concerns _even if they don't agree with everything you believe_.

Information silos are not perfect.

Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

He was so low-energy this campaign I can't imagine him coming back unless they wheel him in.

"Jobs are booming", if true, is something a Treas Sec goes on _every Sunday show_ to announce.

If not, it's not true.

I'm not a _fan_ of Newsome and don't want him in charge but I'm fine making common cause with him and congratulate him if he gets prop 50 over the line.

Apparently all you needed to do to predict the NYC election results was read that one N.K. Jemisin novel.

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.
