It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love.

I realize virtually all indicators point to big Democratic wins in midterms.

A quite startling overperformance for Democrats in tonight's special election for a state Senate seat in Kentucky:
Democrat Gary Clemons won 72% to 25%.
He was defending a Dem-held seat where Kamala Harris beat Trump by 5% last year.

This will be go-to piece on Millerism for a long time. Most media refuse to recognize that Miller's project is divorced from any attachment to "immigration law enforcement" but rather is about a narrow ethnic nationalism.
Some highlights from our Stephen Miller piece:
First, his grandmother has written an unpublished history of some of his ancestors' immigration to the US. We are publishing it online for the first time. They were attacked in terms similar to those he uses today.

Pam Bondi and Pete Hegseth have made stronger statements about the military's right to refuse illegal orders than I did. I'm glad that the 2016 version of Pete Hegseth understood the law and the UCMJ. I'm sorry that the 2025 version doesn't seem to care.

It turns out, when you mix the 2016 video of Pete Hegseth talking about troops not following unlawful orders with the recent Democratic PSA on the same subject, their message flows together pretty seamlessly.
