Read to your kids. First night home from the hospital and every day until they can read to you, and then read more. Read Goodnight Moon and Old Yeller and Flyguy and Magic Treehouse and Harry Potter and Berenstain Bears and the Bible and biographies of heroes and more.

Please read every word of this, from Yuval.
"In one sense, the range of explanations is so broad, and the public rebuke so overdetermined, that it might make it hard to decide where and how to change course. But in another sense, the comprehensive character of the problem makes it easier to define: The problem is Donald Trump. And the way forward for Republicans must begin by putting Trump behind them and asking themselves what they have to offer the country in his wake." nationalreview.com/corner/anβ¦

Kansas last elected a Dem to the US Senate in 1932. What was important about 1932?
Republicans passed the Smoot-Hawley tariff in 1930, and in '32 voters had the 1st chance to respond to its effects. Dems gained 97 House, 12 Senate seats, 11 governorships & the presidency.
I think when they say βcandidate qualityβ they mean something entirely different from what we might mean.
Absolutely. In North Carolina voters rejected an income tax and elected a Democrat to the Senate.
As James Carville said, itβs the economy, stupid.
When we say βitβs the economyβ this is what we mean.
Coming soon to an inbox near you: "it wasn't the tariffs" and "real tariffs haven't been tried." Don't buy it.
A) It wasn't ONLY the tariffs, but the polls/results are clear: they were a BIG anchor.
B) This IS real tariffs. They raise prices BY DESIGN, fuel cronyism/carveouts, hurt smallbiz & many manufacturers, alienate allies, & cause many other problems/distortions - especially when done by executive action (which boosts uncertainty).
There's a reason these taxes have been mostly abandoned - by the US and every other rich country. The GOP should stop listening to the protectionist fundamentalists (and cronies) and abandon them too.

What a bloodbath. I can't believe they flipped *Texas*. I'm skeptical there will be any earnest soul searching, but people are clearly sick of the corruption, the inflation, the war, the abuse of power, the memes/propaganda, and the incompetence.

Thunderstorms that wake you up in the middle of the night might be one of the worst ways Iβve been awakened on Election Day.
