In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Thirty years ago I was on a high-volume high-aggro mailing list, and when someone lost it like this the tradition was for someone to take the text of the message, alphabetize it, paste it into a reply, and say “these words didn’t appear to be in any particular order so I alphabetized them for you”

I just want to name that people overcame this. Even against a stacked deck, the good fight is worth it. Win or lose, it's worth it. And sometimes the good guys win.

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

WELKER: Is a vote for you a vote for the Trump agenda? MIKE ROGERS: Um, I'm apologizing. I'm having some difficultly in my earpiece. But is a vote for you? I'm not sure. I'll tell you what a vote for me is. It's a great day for the state of Michigan

There's a point where it stops being "playing politics" and becomes "you just hate transgender people." This would be it.

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

I think the "no men in women's sports" position is BS too, and the politicians who pull that card are weak campaigners, but I grew up gay in the 90s and 2000s, so I understand the whole "vote for Democrats because the Republicans are objectively worse." This? Really hard to make that argument.

Are we still doing the "things that have gotten better in the last N years" topic? Because these no longer existing is a solid contender. @cpsc.gov would have had a lot to say if we had social media back in 1988.

That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.

Most billionaire wealth isn't in yachts or jewelry — that's just a few percent of it. Most is productive business capital: companies that employ people, build things, and fund research. Tax that wealth and you're taxing the businesses that employ us all. Cato's Adam Michel explains.

As much as I think Polymarket and its like should be thrown into the fires of the sun, I think as many Republicans as possible should do this before we do.

I think we need to consider the possibility he’s made a huge Polymarket bet on Acton winning the election and is actively trying to throw it

Imagine you call in Trump to campaign as a last ditch effort and he tells everybody you’re going to lose and starts talking about hot men’s asses instead

Trump on Roy Cooper: "He's going to become your senator and it's crazy" RIP Michael Whatley

This little couchfucker thinks "Oh, I didn't know" absolves him of any responsibility. And that sentiment is rampant in this administration.

This is your occasional backup reminder - if you haven’t yet, go start setting up backups of any kind. If you think you don’t need backups, delete everything you have on the device you’re using right now. If that seems like a bad idea then you need backups.

Ron Johnson blames US for Putin invading Ukraine: "The way we treated Russia after we won the Cold War, how we pushed them. I'm not defending Putin, but we said we were not gonna move NATO one inch to the east. We brought it right to their doorstep basically. What did we think Putin was gonna do?"

They had to walk 45 minutes to vote. Yes, it's amazing that they did that. Yes, their energy is wonderful. But my GOD that makes me mad.

If you ever want to know what "cheating on an election" looks like, this is it. Kids having to march from an HBCU to vote.

This is inspiring in the way that kids running a lemonade stand to pay for their friend's chemotherapy is inspiring: the kids are amazing but they should never have to do this. if this inspires you at all, let it inspire you to create a real right to vote so they can just vote on campus.

"But all of these reforms require constitutional amendments..." This is nonsense, and I wish people would stop repeating it The Judiciary Act of 1789 wasn't a constitutional amendment. It was a statute enacted by Congress and signed by the President. It can be amended like any other statute

DHS investigators not only took Ilhan’s cell phone, they took her computers, notebooks and her passport! These seem like important details. (You can tell who doesn’t read the full Wall Street Journal article: me.)
