Jerry Seinfeld. “What is the DEAL with gerrymandering? I don’t mander. Never mandered. You mander?” George: “No mander!” Elaine: (wipes off glasses) “oh…I mander”

Hindsight is 20/20: NC Republicans could have easily drawn a 9R-5D or even a 10R-4D map that would have withstood a blue tsunami (by drawing one more safe Dem seat in the Triad). Instead, by trying for a 11R-3D map, they're on track to end up in a 11D-3R hole.

Buddy you are outnumbered by three pastors lol
🚨What happened last Tuesday was shocking and historic. It calls for a historic response. Christians need to gather and seek the Lord. I’m going to host a time of fasting and prayer for the nation on Tuesday, December 15 from 12 to 1 at the Capitol. Meet me there!

Scott Colom entering the Mississippi Senate race:
NEW: Sen. Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.) says she won’t support the nomination of Scott Colom to be a district judge in Mississippi. This could prevent his nomination from moving forward with Democrats maintaining need for home-state support on district picks. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law…

Real Gs move in silence like lasagna
. @AnnieAndrewsMD’s victory was supposed to surprise you. But more importantly, it was supposed to surprise national Republicans. Smart insight from @JoshuaKarp on how his team advised the campaign on managing the attention economy. onbackgroundcomms.com/p/on-b…

Currently diving into State House and State Senate-level data for @AnnieAndrewsMD’s win, and when you look at some of the places she won, Republicans are very, very lucky the tide didn’t sweep away a bunch more House members. For anyone who knows SC well, the data is WILD

SD 36 (Calhoun, Clarendon, Orangeburg & Sumter) held by first term Republican Jeff Zell 2024: Trump 50.8%-48.1% 2026: Andrews 57.5%-40.8% These three I’ve listed are the most obvious Dem targets in 2028, all traditionally D seats. They swung back hard in 2026.

Young Black women in rural Mississippi are trying like hell to make sure no ballot gets thrown out unfairly in the Scott Colom race. They are DMing friends and chasing down people who need to verify their IDs. My story (gift link) on the phenomenon: wapo.st/4AbqTpg

Unsolicited advice to all the Democrats who won tough seats this week across the country: have the best possible constituent service operation you can. I won and flipped my first state house district in 2016 by 323 votes the same night that Trump won my seat by 12 points. My team was relentless in solving constituent cases because I believe that we can connect with residents regardless of party in this way. We still work this hard at casework. The proof it works? This comment from a constituent this morning on my Facebook page:
