I've looked at all the details of this deal to end the shutdown reached by a small group of Senate Democrats. I've talked to a number of friends on the Hill to see if there's anything I'm missing. Sadly, I am not.
This is a shit deal. It's a betrayal. It's cowardice.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Everything went the Spirit's way, except the scoreline. Louisville had basically no possession, Emma Sears has fewer than 10 touches, they've created chances and a tight VAR call disallowed a goal. Everything is going well, just need the ball in the back of the net!

Affordability. Good schools/no vouchers. Chaos/anxiety
No one ever mentioned hearing about trans issues - and that was GOP's dominant issue

For @msnbc.com I wrote about how Tuesday's election gives Democrats the blueprint for overcoming Republican anti-trans attacks and how thus should settle all the talk about throwing trans people under the bus.

Opinion | Democrats’ election wins showed they don't need to hide their support for trans rights
Republicans repeated Trump's anti-trans strategy from 2024 and lost big. This should be instructive for Democrats.

Looks like wipe out for Virginia House of Delegates Republicans
Dems on track to get at least 60 seats, if not more
GOP had 66 seats in 2017 before the elections then
Now will be below 40 in second Trump era
Will have full break down tomorrow

Historical perspective on Virginia election results-
Abigail Spanberger is on track to win by the largest margin of any Democratic candidate for Governor since 1961, before the integration-era party realignment.
Democrats will win their largest House of Delegates majority since 1987.
A BIG night.

Jason Miyares was terrible. Good riddance.
The AP has called it for Jay Jones in Virginia, so Democrats have ousted the GOP attorney general of Virginia.
It's not looking particularly close either, he's up 5% with 91% reporting.

Loudoun County, in northern Virginia, was the sign of apocalypse twelve months ago for Democrats.
Most of the vote just came in. (AP estimates 79%.)
Spanberger up 26%. (And Jay Jones up 15%.)
Four years ago, McAuliffe won it by just 11% on his way to a 2% loss.
