The Independent Variable

Politico

Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill cruised to double-digit victories in Virginia and New Jersey. Two Georgia Democrats flipped seats on the state’s Public Service Commission, the first non-federal statewide wins for a Democrat in nearly two decades. Democrats flipped a pair of Republican-held state Senate seats in Mississippi, cracking the GOP supermajority in a deep-red state. And a successful California ballot measure delivered five additional seats for the party’s House margins ahead of the 2026 midterms, offsetting Texas’ redistricting push.

Finally some good news for once. Although, it kind of makes me even angrier at the lack of turnout from democrats in 2024. We knew exactly how bad things could get and still, people stayed home out of laziness or protest against Democrats, knowing full well that another Trump term would bring devastation.

The New Republic

And the media, with its long-standing bias toward treating Republican grievances as more legitimate than Democratic ones, follows the lead of whichever party is making the most noise. Republicans scream about “deplorables” for weeks, so it becomes a story. Democrats shrug at Trump’s latest attack on blue America, so it doesn’t.

Trump and his administration (and minions) are all guilty of basically everything they accuse democrats of doing. They’re the biggest snowflakes there are.
