he gets a lot of shit on here but credit where credit is due: @mattyglesias has been hammering the need for social moderation over and over and basically every successful Senate candidate listened to him

On judicial nominations, massive Democrat takeover of Senate means:
1. Trump will not be able to appoint any justices or judges during his last two years in office (absent one-sided deal in favor of Dems).
2. If a Republican is elected president in 2028, that president will not be able to appoint any justices or judges until Republicans regain the Senate. Given the deep hole, that might not happen until 2033.
3. I'd be extremely surprised if any justice announces resignation now (for end of term) in hope of lame-duck confirmation of successor. Among other things, it's highly doubtful that Rs would have the vote to confirm. If Sherrod Brown wins Ohio seat, he gets sworn into Senate in early December, so Senate becomes 52R-48D. Collins and Murkowski would be unlikely to support anyone Trump would nominate. John Cornyn, Thom Tillis, and Bill Cassidy aren’t going to be eager to do Trump any favors. And there are other senators—e.g., John Curtis of Utah—who would be leery of anyone Trump would be eager to push through.

It's funny, on my feed today I'm not seeing the usual idle chatter about the terminal decline of the United States.

It is possible that Republicans lose every seat they gerrymandered for themselves.

Tech bros will quickly denounce their love of MMA, new found interest in mega yachts and doomsday bunkers. Ultimate political-economic chameleons.

Ben Rhodes remains completely out of touch. No one cares about the war or foreign policy, they care about its domestic effects.
And why should the Democrats be an anti-war party? They should be the party of strong national defense.

Over the last 2 years, Elias Law Group has litigated and won scores of voting and election cases. Tonight, we saw the results -- Democrats won free and fair elections.
In the days ahead we will protect these results from DOJ and GOP attack. When we fight, we win.🗳️⚖️💪

To all of the people I pleaded with in Europe and Asia over the last two years do not write off America yet, I told you so.
I know , we have a long ways to go. Trump is president for 2 years. But the Trump era is winding down. The possibility of American renewal is swelling.

CASTOR is up 6% with more than 95% of the vote in.
This is a seat Republicans redrew in redistricting. It was designed for a Republican to win.
JARED MOSKOWITZ, another seat drawn for Republicans, is up 8% with 82% in.

The SS Einsatzgruppen shot so many Jewish people in Eastern Europe (at least 1.3+ million) that there are still hundreds of mass graves that have not yet been found.
(Soviets denying permission to search for these graves is also a reason many graves are only found now.)
A matzeivah has been erected over the mass grave of 241 kedoshim murdered by the Nazis in Grodzisk Dolny, near Lizhensk in Poland, more than 80 years after they were buried in an unmarked site.
Descendants used ground-penetrating radar to locate the graves, and kaddish was recited there for the first time since the Holocaust.
