Lincoln Drive is the distillation of Philly people’s outrageous driving habits + total lack of enforcement. It’s dangerous for everyone who uses it - especially pedestrians, particularly kids. Proud to be part of the pressure from @WMtAiryNeighbor and other NW folks. #slowdown
Fed-up Lincoln Drive residents use radar guns, flags, and boulders to fight speeding cars and dangerous curves https://t.co/150mdvMtzi via @PhillyInquirer

Still not ready. When is the time? Who is the candidate? And why is misogyny still acceptable in our democracy? I'm beginning to think through what this election said about who we are as a country. One thing I know: We don't yet want a woman president. Will we ever?

Sherrod Brown *is* a progressive populist who has championed organized labor, introduced a bill to ban corporate investors from buying up housing and opposed NAFTA. He lost to a MAGA car salesman! This is my point! If all it took to win were good policy, he would have.
@ohJuliatweets That completely ignores the polling showing that people massively favor populist, anti-corporate elite policies. It’s just that there is no party pushing them. The hard right shift has been in the Democratic party leadership over the past four decades or so. Imo.

Update: Several of the migrants I’ve been speaking with say they would have voted for Trump themselves. Most are folks who crossed the border illegally in the last 2-3 years. They don’t believe Trump will deport them, because they are here to work and are “not criminals.”
I’m speaking with migrants outside Atlanta’s ICE field office about last night’s election results. “We’re fucked,” said the very first person I talked to, a woman from Nicaragua.

Trump will begin operations to deport millions of undocumented immigrants when he starts his term, campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Wednesday morning. He'll launch the "largest mass deportation operation" of undocumented immigrants on Day 1. https://t.co/O5hbjaIY0e

Big win for post-liberal politics and economics. Also for measles, mumps, polio, and tooth decay.

Or maybe many Americans are comfortable with an autocrat who makes them feel more worthy because they have the "right genes" and aren't vermin like those immigrants. When segregationists won many elections in the South, I don't think it was because of economic anxiety or the
If present trends continue, this Trump victory will swamp all the micro-explanations. Shapiro as VP wouldn't have changed this. Keeping Arab-Americans in Michigan wouldn't have changed this. It's all the big stuff -- defeat in Afghanistan, a porous border, inflation, and (yes,

The impact of gerrymandering: A state where 57 percent of voters want to eliminate government interference with abortion has a Legislature that imposed a near-total ban on abortion.

A few dozen influential Republicans could have finished Trump in 20. They thought he should be finished, wanted him finished, but thought it safer for them personally to not get involved. Their shame is eternal

Reminder that Trump would just be an angry retiree shouting at the TV right now had Mitch McConnell decided to do the right thing after 1/6. Amazing.

I really hope Trump was never serious about the across the board tariffs. I really, really, really hope he was in complete BS mode about undoing the CHIPS Act.

I imagine courts will rule that, under the Supremacy Clause and Article II, state criminal sentences are paused during the duration of a President’s term.
In 3 weeks, Trump will be sentenced for felonies in state court—where presidential pardon power doesn't apply. So it's not impossible that the leader of the free world will be governing from a penitentiary & meeting dignitaries in the prison yard. The writers are getting spicy.

Across the biggest metros—not just Miami, but also Chicago, NY, Dallas, Houston—Trump is improving on his 2020 margins by double digits. Often *more* than his improvement in rural areas. Some of these results are more complete than others, so caveat emptor, but: notable.

A truly gutting loss.
I can’t think of a public servant in recent years who has done more for the people of Ohio. Sherrod Brown is an immeasurable loss for the state and for the country. I don’t have words.

Good luck, babe!
Our story: Donald Trump is projected to become the next president of the United States following a campaign fueled by division, aggressive masculinity and xenophobia. His win sets the stage for a second administration during which he has promised to challenge the nation’s
