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.
(This is a city in the Atlanta suburbs, the 9th most populous city in Georgia.)

This is the first time the spread has stretched this high this cycle and this is a very large spread - Republicans are doomed in the House and Dems may take the Senate
New polling from Marist shows Democrats holding a 14-point lead nationally on the 2026 generic congressional ballot—55% vs 41%. (Link in reply)

Now that is irony in practice
It's a real testament to the clown-car insanity of the second Trump administration that they're getting cock blocked by the yahoos put in place by the first Trump administration. -OS

For anyone who was sleeping, major political news last night: a judge chose a new map for Utah that will deliver a seat to Democrats.
Major point in Dems’ favor that effectively neuters the GOP’s move in Missouri, much like California countered Texas.

Just now: The plaintiffs who were arguing that Utah GOP's congressional map is illegal won in court.
The judge orders one of the two maps submitted by the plaintiffs ('map 1') be used.
The ruling, if it stands, guarantees that Democrats will pick up a congressional seat in Utah next year.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."
The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.
And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Brilliant. Should be a model everywhere
I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.
