BREAKING:
The Indiana Senate just REJECTED the gerrymandered congressional map that Trump and his allies pressured Republicans to support.
The GOP-controlled chamber voted down the map, 31-19.

Remembering the quietly captivating French film star Jean-Louis Trintignant, born on this day in 1930. Here he is, playing one of the great conflicted figures of 1960s cinema in MY NIGHT AT MAUD'S (1969), the brilliantly accomplished centerpiece of Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales series..

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and my town is flooded with cocaine now that Trump pardoned all the traffickers. But at least the State Department is using Times New Roman again.

A huge night for Democrats:
—They flip Miami's mayorship.
—They flip a state House district in Georgia that had voted Trump by 13%.
—They keep Albuquerque's mayorship, while the liberal faction flips city council.
—And they get big overperformances (+18 & +22) in 2 Florida specials.

They are great films, but one time through Haneke's "Cache" and "Amour" was enough.
Never mind movies you’ve watched multiple times, name a movie you’ve watched once and would never watch again.

BREAKING: Democrats have *flipped* a seat in Georgia's state House tonight.
Democrat Eric Gisler has won the seat, which was previously held by a Republican who resigned this fall.
This is a red territory: Trump won the district by 13% in 2024.

We have near-final results in the 2 Florida legislative special elections. Neither flipped, but quite the swings toward Dems.
—Democrats kept HD90, winning it by 28%.
(Harris won here by 11%.)
—The GOP kept SD11, winning it by 18%.
(Trump won here by 40%.)
Plus, Dems flipped the Miami mayorship.
