In 1955, the Corsicana, Texas newspaper included a wild article from a tourist just back from Alaska. She spent time at Fairbanks' Flame Lounge where she said people drank "Ever Clear Punch," three parts Everclear to one part champagne. #alaskahistory #alaska

I don’t know this for a fact but I would bet that a *significant* percentage of the GOP has had their brains so utterly pickled that they genuinely did not see last night coming and are walking around in a shellshocked haze of desperate cope today and that makes me happy

I will add this is also what Michelle Wu did— she’s not going to get as much attention tonight but that’s in part because she crushed her opponents so hard in the preliminary that she ended up uncontested tonight. Moral clarity and standing up for your neighbors is what wins.

I am no longer employed so I'm not blogging Zohran tonight but I can just repeat exactly what I said in June :-)

he won on the back of a pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class campaign. and also: Dem pundits are full of shit

The Democratic Party Needs to Learn from Zohran Mamdani's Guts and Backbone

Zohran Mamdani did something different, and it made all the difference.

Zohran Mamdani proves that proudly and genuinely standing up for trans people (along with all other oppressed and downtrodden groups) is not just morally necessary, but a winning strategy

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

JD Vance's brother is losing by SIXTY points for mayor of Cincinnati.

He's getting hammered so badly I thought he was Pete Hegseth at a 10AM meeting.
