I hope you're happy: Alan Dershowitz has been forced to issue a statement on the fake Post headline

Tweet from Alan Dershowitz
@AlanDersh

A fake headline is circulating saying that I promised "to blow my brains out on live tv" if Momdani wins. I will contribute $180 ( chai) to Momdani's reelection campaign if anyone can show I actually said it. I did not. I will continue to oppose Mayor Mamdani's anti semitic and anti Israel bigotry, but I will do it with my brains intact.

Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”

Hashmi said she first became motivated to run for office “by Trump’s travel ban on seven majority-Muslim nations. She said she wanted to prove that she and other members of her faith belong in the United States, despite the message sent by the administration’s policy.” 19thnews.org/2025/11/virg...

Virginia makes history with first Muslim woman elected to statewide office

Trump’s travel ban inspired state Sen. Ghazala Hashmi to first run for office. Years later, she said fighting bigotry and the “chaos” of Trump’s second term is top of mind.

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

Another often overlooked but important election.

Loudoun County Public Schools has been ground zero for targeting by the Trump administration over trans students, and chose to protect their students.

Pro-trans candidates Chandler and Svenson are winning, and anti-trans Munoz-Melendez is losing.

Dems winning in Virginia will directly lead to thousands regaining the right to vote.

Spanberger can reverse GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin's reinstatement of a Jim Crow-era lifetime voting ban for felonies.

Dem lawmakers can also put a constitutional amendment on next year's ballot to permanently end it

WHOA. Via @decisiondeskhq.bsky.social, it looks like Democrats just flipped BOTH *statewide* Public Service Commissioner seats in Georgia.

That seems...significant.
