A million more FL voters voted for the abortion initiative than voted to reelect Gov DeSantis in ‘22

Across the biggest metros—not just Miami, but also Chicago, NY, Dallas, Houston—Trump is improving on his 2020 margins by double digits. Often *more* than his improvement in rural areas. Some of these results are more complete than others, so caveat emptor, but: notable.

Reminder that Trump would just be an angry retiree shouting at the TV right now had Mitch McConnell decided to do the right thing after 1/6. Amazing.

A few dozen influential Republicans could have finished Trump in 20. They thought he should be finished, wanted him finished, but thought it safer for them personally to not get involved. Their shame is eternal

I imagine courts will rule that, under the Supremacy Clause and Article II, state criminal sentences are paused during the duration of a President’s term.

Good luck, babe!

A truly gutting loss.

Big win for post-liberal politics and economics. Also for measles, mumps, polio, and tooth decay.

Or maybe many Americans are comfortable with an autocrat who makes them feel more worthy because they have the "right genes" and aren't vermin like those immigrants. When segregationists won many elections in the South, I don't think it was because of economic anxiety or the

Sherrod Brown *is* a progressive populist who has championed organized labor, introduced a bill to ban corporate investors from buying up housing and opposed NAFTA. He lost to a MAGA car salesman! This is my point! If all it took to win were good policy, he would have.

Still not ready. When is the time? Who is the candidate? And why is misogyny still acceptable in our democracy? I'm beginning to think through what this election said about who we are as a country. One thing I know: We don't yet want a woman president. Will we ever?
