This looks to be an extraordinary overperformance for Dems. With more than three-fourth of the vote in, the Dem leads by more than 20%.

Watching the opening ceremony on Peacock. Please watch with the closed captioning ON for the singing of Nessum Dorum. They are unintentionally nonsensically hilarious

Three-time Trump voter: I'm looking at this awful picture of the Obamas. What an embarrassment to our country. He is not worthy of the presidency. He takes bribes blatantly, and now he's being a racist blatantly. He's pathetic as a president, and I want to apologize for supporting this rotten man.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Looking at the precinct results in TX's 9th Senate district election and the shift is a consistent ~40 points on margin vs 2022 in the outlying areas, matching the pattern of persuasion and Republican dropoff we've seen in special elections for the 2025-26 election cycle.

Good news came in for Democrats:
The first Election Day have reported, 3K of them, and they broke for Rehmet (D) 60/40.
That was a fairly small batch, but no closing for now.

In Texas, the early vote and Election Day vote hasn’t tended to be as dramatically different as we’ve seen elsewhere. We’ll known more soon; stay tuned.

Wow, buckle up.
The early vote just came in Tarrant County, and Democrat Taylor Rehmet is up 56% to 44% in the special election for a Texas state Senate seat.
This is a seat that went for Trump by 17%. This would be a huge upset.
This is already 45K votes.

Bari Weiss learning at CBS that making TV news, while getting the ratings you need to make your bosses happy is very hard. Currently she's destroying the credibility of the one money making machine she has, 60 Minutes. But I'm sure she'll blame the staff.

Following the Kent State massacre in May 1970, a Gallup poll showed that 58% of Americans thought the shootings were justified. The night *before* the killings, Ohio's GOP governor described the student protesters this way: "They're the worst type of people that we harbor in America."

Murphy on Bovino: "That was a bone-chilling interview. I was shaking while I was listening to it, in large part bc it takes just an unbelievable amount of gall to lie to the American public. Everybody saw that video ... it should freak the public out that the Trump administration lies this easily"
