I just feel gross about how “our country” (really one man) is disrespecting hundreds of dead friends who went halfway around the world after my city was attacked.

The number of times I saw non-American flag draped coffins in Afghanistan was not insignificant. The ignorance some display on X regarding what allies have done for the U.S. is embarrassing.

Those seats would be in play in a neutral national environment in 2028 if that’s what we end up with.

If you don’t think NY-03, NY-04, NY-06, NY-17, NY-18, NY-19 & NY-22 could be in play in the first midterm of a Democratic president in 2030 — all of which voted for Trump or for Harris by less than 8 points in 2024 — you are out of your mind. We have the power. Let’s use it.

Look, Tuesday was awesome. But anyone who is convinced Dems don't have a Jewish voter problem, I strongly urge you to dig around Newsday's precinct level results, and compare down-ballot overperformance: newsday.com/news/region-stat…
How Long Island voted: Blakeman lost support in GOP strongholds, Hochul gained in Democratic areas...

Democratic strongholds with large immigrant populations turned out in higher numbers for Hochul.

Since many seem confused - I’m not talking about the Persian Jews in Great Neck who are already as republican as it’s possible to get but usually dark blue reform and conservative neighborhoods

Holy shit, I didn't realize Scott Colom was denied a federal judgeship because Cindy Hyde-Smith blocked his nomination by lying about his connections to George Soros hahahahaha If she hadn't done that he'd be a district judge and instead he's going to beat her in a Senate race and become the first black Senator from Mississippi since 1870. Nobody has ever been owned this hard by poetic justice The mills of God grind slowly/yet grind exceeding small

Political scientists love to say, don’t draw lessons from the Virginia governor’s race, and then every midterm it’s like huge lessons should’ve been drawn from the results in the Virginia governor’s race.

I want to highlight one thing from the NY Times EXCELLENT breakdown of how demographic groups shifted. Because I think it speaks to the right way for armchair analysts to parse early voting numbers. 1/n

The Times is showing huge advantages for Dems with people who didn't cast a ballot in 2024 or 2022 because we actually turned out our infrequent or uncertain voters while the GOP didn't. And at the same time you had a D+9 electorate from people whoa actually did vote in 2022. 6/n

The detailed actual turnout for the last week made it obvious that a blue wave was coming in NY. So if you are tempted to do early voting analysis in two years, go back to those factors I mentioned above. Baseline, infrequent voters, changed method of vote for past voters. -30-

So this summer, when I spoke to a few reporters on background about NY17, I said I thought Cait would win by 4-6. Everyone was shocked. Turns out I was a pessimist.

My office is monitoring this issue with scanners in Westchester and is in touch with the state and local Boards of Elections as they work on a solution. Westchester voters can still safely fill out and turn in their ballots at their polling locations. Your votes will count.
