@davidaxelrod The fact he knows who Hegel is is equally miraculous

[Dave Wasserman @Redistrict]

It's nearly impossible to disentangle race and partisanship in the South, which is why this ruling could have such apocalyptic consequences for Black representation across the Deep South (more likely in '28 than '26).

[Keith Brannum @BKeith25]

@DrewSav It ended up being as interesting as I thought. The combination of spending with the VA electorate engagement was going to make this close. It ended up ONLY being 1 point closer than I wagered.

Washington Post- @ScharSchool poll: Virginia voters have shifted sharply against data centers since 2023, with most now opposing tax breaks and building data centers in their communities. Hard to recall such a rapid shift in public opinion https://t.co/12slnN9qJP

COLUMN: Democrats are obsessed with the wrong Senate races, writes @jmart.

Sherrod Brown and Roy Cooper aren’t driving the conversation — but their races are key to Dems’ “increasingly realistic, bordering on likely, prospects for reclaiming the Senate." https://t.co/Ci6HCiLQaa

@JakeSherman How can Charles II come back from the dead? Wrong King Charles

If you’re an overseas American, here is an important reminder from #USExpat @BKeith25 - a resolution that you can complete on Jan 1! And if you miss it, International Voter Registration Day is January 15th. Join #DemsAbroad and celebrate! https://t.co/QOh1rS1Yqk

It’s really important that we exercise our right to vote on the issues that matter to us as overseas Americans. #votefromabroad #Election2026

Venezuela opposition reports the so called "capture" of Maduro was a negotiated deal between Maduro and US for an agreed exit strategy. We reported in November that this would be the case. The US bombed Venezuelan service members as part of a death theatre. #VenezuelaInvasion

🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING NEWS

REP. ROB BRESNAHAN (R-Pa.) has signed the House Democrats' discharge petition, which attempts to force a vote on a 3-year extension of the ACA subsidies.

THE PETITION is now just one short of forcing a full House vote on a clean, three-year extension.

Punchbowl News: Senior House Republican says Speaker Mike Johnson will be “stripped of his gavel” and will “lose the majority before this term is out” + more early resignations are coming.

No Kings protests showed people will hit the streets

Elections on November 4 will be a test to see if that translates at the ballot box

Jimmy Kimmel's full monologue tonight

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Kimmel: "This show is not important. What is important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this."

[Keith Brannum @BKeith25]

If Trump takes the temperature up - hard to see how it doesn’t further alienate independents and moderates.

I still think it unlikely Dems manage a 2/3s majority. But it could shape up to be a 2017 moment - and galvanize broader pushback and momentum. Implications for VA 1 & 2

[Keith Brannum @BKeith25]

Would not want to be the GOP in this poll. Reflection of the following sentiments:

- federal workforce DOGING
- Trump disapprovals (58%)
- Strength of Spanberger

All pointing towards a really bad election result. What we haven’t seen is results post Kirk killing.

Can't sleep. You know what that means, I'm looking at the midnight campaign finance filings.

Republicans got outraised in almost every single competitive district this Summer.

Most stunning haul? Guzman.

The timing is interesting- defending OBBBA and doing so in mid decade redistricting must have been too much.

[Jake Sherman @JakeSherman]

MORGAN LUTTRELL, House Republican from Texas, will not seek re-election

[Sam Shirazi @samshirazim]

Final result in VA-11 w just few mail and provisional left

Dem over-performance continues as this was 65%-31% Harris in 2024

Fairfax hit hard by DOGE

So could also be sign of increased Dem enthusiasm

Tea leaves for November?

Virginia could revert back to Trump 1.0 blueness
