Its extra funny today (TN7 election day) to hear Trump musing about getting rid of the income tax and funding the federal government solely on tariffs, since that is functionally equivalent to the USG forgoing the fiscal capacity of high-density America as the source of internal transfers.

JUST IN: Democrats have flipped the mayor's office in Roswell, Georgia, in tonight's runoff.
GOP Mayor Kurt Wilson conceded earlier tonight to Mary Robichaux, the Dem challenging him.

Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

In counties that appear fully reported:
Wayne: Trump won by 77, Van Epps wins by 70
Decatur: Trump+69, Van Epps+60
Benton: Trump+65, Van Epps+56
Houston: Trump+58, Van Epps+47
Perry: Trump+69, Van Epps+55
Consistent with a Van Epps win of 10-12 pts. But much depends on Davidson

RESULT: James Solomon will be the next mayor of Jersey City.
Solomon, running on a more progressive lane with WFP support, has easily defeated the establishment candidate Jim McGreevey, the former governor who resigned in scandal two decades ago.

Montgomery County is the largest county reporting any votes so far. Behn (D) is outperforming Harris there by 21 points. Assuming the Election Day vote is redder, that's not a great sign for her. (Remember, she needs to outperform by at least 22 to win.)

Hungarian healthcare isn't doing well after a decade of underfunding. This winter, the heating in most hospitals stopped working. A father complained about his son freezing in a hospital on facebook.

JUST IN: we have the early vote from Roswell, Georgia.
GOP Mayor Kurt Wilson trails Dem challenger Mary Robichaux, 58% to 42% so far.
That's out of 8,949 votes counted. In November, the early vote was roughly half of the ballots, and (as you'd expect), the GOP was stronger on Election Day.

here's Trump's full racist rant about MN's Somali community: "Somalians ripped off that state for billions. And they contribute nothing... Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren't people that work... They come from hell & do nothing but bitch. We don't want them"
