#Labourleadership predictions: Corbyn is a disaster but he stays until 2020 and the Tories win by more than 2015

by ensuring the decline of US hegemony the american voting public has proven itself to be the greatest anti-imperial force in the world

[Scott Lemieux @LemieuxLGM]

Just amazing that the rapid development of a COVID vaccine was the only good thing the Trump administration did, and the response was for the entire Republican Party to turn into anti-vaxx crackpots

@Miyhnea He’ll propose a “government rule 69” or “government rule 34”…

Their rulings are now fundamentally corrupted due to basic conflicts-of-interest

Everyone's mocking Musk for being the co-chair of a committee that is intended to reduce US govt bureaucracy.

Everyone's ignoring that he'll be overseeing those parts of the US government which regulate his companies & their competitors

@Psythor Why do you think that ethics rules apply anymore?

Blossoms look like they're about to be wrongfully arrested for a pub bombing in the 1970s

This is the rub. If the Trump admin shuns NATO, clashes with the EU over tariffs, climate, twitter/tech, the EU is not going to align with us on China. They will hedge. We will be the ones isolated.

@APHClarkson TBF, you’re assuming that would be a negative for some of Trump’s backers…

[David Weigel @daveweigel]

Still seeing "Harris couldn't turn out millions of Biden voters," and the count in swing states says that's not true.

In Wisconsin, Harris got 37k more votes than Biden. The most votes of any Dem candidate since Obama in 2008.

She lost bc Trump added 77k more votes since 2020.

[Philip Klein @philipaklein]

Looks like Gen X delivered the White House to Trump.

[Kharg Island Margaritaville @canderaid]

Here’s the problem for the left: the message here is that Biden was wrong to do fiscal stimulus, and that instead what voters want is an economic policy that keeps service worker wages as low as possible, at all costs, because voters will not tolerate higher prices

The biggest winners of today are Benjamin Netanyahu and Vladimir Putin.

@Psythor Has the postcode proposal been rejected?

[Scott Lemieux @LemieuxLGM]

MIssouri voters voting for abortion rights, an increase in the minimum wage, and paid sick leave, and a senator and a president who strongly oppose these things is where we are in a nutshell

[Phillips P. OBrien @PhillipsPOBrien]

Hate to do this, but European states must act now like there is a very good chance that the US will no longer guarantee their security. @edwardstrngr and I wrote this sketch plan of what needs to be considered in just such a case. https://t.co/FX5uRSXz70

Just under four hours left in Nevada and Clark County, where Dems need to drive up turnout, already has exceeded its 2020 final Election Day number.

[Matt McDermott @mattmfm]

Getting some very early numbers out of Indiana, where polls are now closed. About half of Fort Wayne in, the second largest city in the state: 52-47% Trump. It was 55-43% Trump in 2020.

@Miyhnea Yeah, it’s matchday 4 of the new Champions League format
