Never ever leaving this website

I still can’t believe this happened.

For those who missed it, the full Corey in Germantown phone call into my show on @SportsRadioWIP last night:

@TheDuhalde @adrok91 Quayle’s 2000 presidential campaign proves the point however

Crazy advice. A sitting vp hasn’t lost the nomination since 1952. Vance will never be in a better position than he is now, and every general election this century (except one) has been a margin of error race

[Philip Melanchthon Wegmann @PhilipWegmann]

On election night, @JDVance’s phone buzzed.

A confidant texted with uncomfortable advice: perhaps he should consider sitting out 2028.

Some allies now tell the VP they no longer believe any Republican can win a presidential election in two years.

It’s fun how after a big Republican victory, Democrats start in-fighting and Republicans celebrate, and after a big Democratic victory Republicans start in-fighting and Democrats also start in-fighting

I wrote hundreds of stories for Salon between 2005 and 2007. Sky was the limit, with an expense account for travel. Have fun. Push the boundaries. Break news. This was the riot that taught me how to cover campaigns, with the freedom to write like it was still the 1970s. Salon may be gone, but we all live in the shadow of what Salon showed the country about online journalism. Deeply grateful to Joan Walsh, Walter Shapiro, Kerry Lauerman, Mark Benjamin, Gary Kamiya, and all the others. Read the archive before it goes dark: https://t.co/FwOZE0lSRr

Massive hoop earrings. Purple vest (silk, I think.) Bejeweled headband. Monkey with a hat.

And these are just some of the very real fashions I spotted at the Michigan Democratic Party's election night celebration

Hitching your wagon to a presidential candidate who has no credibility while throwing shade at @AOC who fought like hell to keep you in congress? Sorry but political instincts like this cost him a lot and will continue to cost him.

Looking into this

[David Freedlander @freedlander]

Wild that this person could be keeping Dems from 57 in the Senate

[David Freedlander @freedlander]

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has

Trump yesterday: "Pretend I'm on the ballot."

[Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollins]

Trump just now, in his first post in three hours, writes: "I wasn’t on the Ballot and if I was, we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE! Thank you for your attention to this matter."

[David Freedlander @freedlander]

With the Keisha Lance Bottoms win in Georgia, as many of Joe Biden's endorsed candidates in competitive governor's races have won as Donald Trump's have

[David Freedlander @freedlander]

How is no one going to the bottom of the reflecting pool for comment?

[David Freedlander @freedlander]

Wonder how this guy is doing

[David Freedlander @freedlander]

"A black female Democratic Socialist is sort of the perfect candidate for this political moment" is a thought I can't believe I just had
