Democrats Win Southern Popular Vote in Midterms for First Time Since 1984 (Senate) and 1992 (House)

@TheFP @mattyglesias That claim wasn’t remotely plausible on its face. The fact that you ran with it and took a day to correct it says everything you need to know about your credibility, your integrity, or both.

[Patrick Kennedy @PLKDC]

@MarcACaputo Is this the same guy who said he absolutely, positively wasn’t running for re-election to the Senate and that it was up or out for him during his White House run?

[Patrick Kennedy @PLKDC]

@denisyurchak Yeah, why wouldn’t Italy want to affirmatively attract more condescending people who repeat the same tropes? Especially since they manage to find their way there anyways.

[Cassie Pritchard @hecubian_devil]

This has to go down as the best ad of the cycle, right?

[Patrick Kennedy @PLKDC]

Got that right

@KristanHawkins @RogerMarshallMD @SFLAction Uh, how do you figure that he “ran a good race?”

[Patrick Kennedy @PLKDC]

@bresreports Huh? If they hadn’t done it, they’d be losing seats.

[Patrick Kennedy @PLKDC]

@Drealemcee And for as much as you could say the Brewers “stole” Game 2, the Rays stole Game 4. Game 1 was close but they had a clear edge, and Games 3 and 5 they were clearly better. Except for one inning it was a close, but decisive series win. There’s no doubt who the better team was.

[Patrick Kennedy @PLKDC]

This is the first time I haven’t felt bitter after a Rays playoff elimination. Every other time it either felt like a close run thing that slipped their grasp or the run was a disappointment altogether relative to expectation.

[Patrick Kennedy @PLKDC]

@Drealemcee Yeah I don’t think they’re far off at all, but in the end they were just outgunned. I think the big thing was depth. Milwaukee had it, in the lineup, rotation, and bullpen…and the Rays didn’t. Their range was more limited and they ran out of gas sooner.

[Patrick Kennedy @PLKDC]

This time, they exceeded expectations and were bested decisively — but not embarrassingly — by a better team. Can’t really complain.

[Patrick Kennedy @PLKDC]

Don’t really feel disappointment as much as gratitude to the 2026 Rays, who were the most fun team for me personally since 2008. Hope to see them win it all someday.

WORLD SERIES WHEEEEEEE!

[Patrick Kennedy @PLKDC]

Some kind of heart in this team, God love them.

[Patrick Kennedy @PLKDC]

@beyonddc They should revive the Corridor Cities Transitway before prioritizing this, at least that has some ROW secured and marginally better land use.

[Patrick Kennedy @PLKDC]

This postseason is absolutely killing my ability to be a respectable adult with normal hours. But if 2am starts are the price to pay, it’s one I’ll gladly keep shelling out for.

[Patrick Kennedy @PLKDC]

@KeithOlbermann @BillShaikin It means that they’re the best teams in baseball and would’ve met in the World Series in 1926, 1976, or 2026 regardless of postseason format.

Man I wish I were there, I miss my dome.
