Bob Casey is a really good person and this is a tough loss for the country. Please join me in thanking him for a lifetime of honorable and effective public service. He’s a good egg. What a bummer.

AOC comes out swinging against a Nancy Mace for targeting Sarah McBride.

"They're doing this so that Nancy Mace can ... fundraise off an email. They're not doing this to protect people. They're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kinds. And everybody should reject it. It's gross."

A Democrat should leak the Gaetz report. Trump and MAGA invited a violent insurrection against our election and refer to the traitors as freedom fighters and political prisoners.

This is nothing. Leak the report. Americans deserve to see it.

We shouldn't have to hope the ethics report gets released, then hope the Senate reads it, then hope they take it into account during the confirmation process.

We shouldn't have to hope they will stop a sex trafficker from becoming the chief law enforcement officer of the nation.

But here we are.

Analysis | Mandate? Fuller election results increasingly show GOP gains were small.
A holistic look — down to the state legislative level — reinforces that early Trump and GOP claims to a huge “mandate” were overblown.

Also note this is a distraction technique, same as they're exploiting McBride's success. Where she pees is nowhere near as consequential as Trump's efforts to loot the government, but now the right wing is looking only at the former, aided by lies that she started this fight.
the lesson of the election isn’t “we should give up on trans rights,” it’s that the GOP took an issue that negatively impacted almost no one and made it a headliner. why would it help to surrender on an issue if they can create a grievance from thin air?

I already see a bunch of "this is just a distraction" punditry, but try to remember that distractions that are hate crimes are still hate crimes. If someone hates crimes you, it would feel pretty shitty to have a bystander be like "just ignore that, it's a distraction"

Out of roughly 153 million votes cast in this election, the presidency was decided by 230k across the three states of Wisconsin (30k), Michigan (80k) and Pennsylvania (120k). That's 00.15%.

This remains an extremely closely divided nation. Any agenda viewed as extreme is likely to face backlash.

If Trump wants to deport undocumented migrants, they will still need a hearing before an immigration judge.

The next available final hearing date, based on current backlog of 1,478,623 asylum cases pending, is in 2029—after Trump has left office.

They haven’t though this through. Shocking.
