I’d like a Netflix series on how the guy appointed by the government to reduce waste ended up lighting $500 million of his own money on fire in the midterm elections.

Talarico extending olive branches is great: “I’m a big fan of SpaceX and Tesla. He is a great business leader and entrepreneur and innovator. I want him to stick to those things… I will work with him when it comes to technology and innovation.”

In retrospect, “Pick another protein? I’d rather pick another senator” is probably the most impactful ad of the cycle.

Hey, want me to ruin your day? Here I go. 2013 Grand Final: 17 Points down, fremantle had the last 4 shots at goal and missed. 2026 Grand Final: 17 Points up, Brisbane had the last 4 shots at goal, and kicked every single one of them.

One of the more exciting parts of this election - among many - is the return of a religious left.

I say this with no love for Ossoff or the Democratic Party, but he is correct about all of this and it is going to be a devastating message going forward. It's one of the reasons I've been chimping about our Russia policy for the last couple months—it's been objectively corrupt and disgraceful. Trying to turn Zelenskyy into a scapegoat at the end was the cherry on top.
He has that Obama elocution.

Ossoff being a minor character in Trump season one and then coming back in season 10 as a primary antagonist is such good writing

with Lindsey no longer with us and Annie Andrews defeating Lindsey's sister to turn his seat blue, this tweet hits different now
If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it.

People putting “I Voted” stickers on Alex Pretti’s memorial is exactly the kind of tribute that matters. Not thoughts and prayers. Action.

Tonight, the American people sent a clear message — they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face. These results were only possible because outstanding candidates stepped forward in every region of the country — including in areas once considered long shots. They came from different backgrounds and represented a range of political perspectives, but were united by shared values, a belief in public service, and a commitment to putting the people of their districts and states first. We also owe a debt of gratitude to the thousands of election officials and volunteers from both parties who helped ensure a smooth election and carried out one of the most essential functions of our democracy. While this administration has another two years in office, our job now is to roll up our sleeves, make changes wherever we have the power to do so, prevent further damage, and lay the groundwork for the future.

This has now happened, and it'll be interesting to see what happens when the dust settles. Worst election any party has seen since 1982 and maybe even since Watergate.
Trump has never faced a clear voter repudiation in a way that would make Republican politicians abandon him. If 2026 is as blue as polls say, you'll see a lot of Republican elected officials suddenly change their tune, because it'd be clear he's no help any longer.
