After church today, discussing Trump and last week's dismal election today with a conservative friend, he sighed, "I hate to agree with David French on anything, but I guess there's just no getting away from 'character is destiny'. Eventually, it proves out."

A 🧵 of people in town for Penn State at @UW_Football discovering the beauty that is @GreatestSetting. This tweet ⬇️ is it’s own nice thread to boot
A few thoughts from yesterday:
First and foremost every Washington fan we interacted with was great.
Secondly the views were incredible, if you sit up high enough on the home sideline you can see Mt. Rainier and the Space Needle.

Hugh Hewitt has been doing this “Trump will pivot to being an adult any time now” thing for over a decade and at some point you just have to laugh

Just so I understand: You're suggesting that Republicans, who have controlled every statewide elected office in Texas for more than 30 years, rigged an election against themselves?
If you say an election was stolen, they'll come after you. I'm saying it. I'm saying that everyone at least needs to know it wasn't stolen, or you lose the country. Can we at least look into these irregularities? WE MUST.

Steven Miller's immigration policy has taken arguably the GOP's best issue and made it a liability. He, second only to Trump himself, is responsible for blowing up the multiracial coalition that elected Trump in 2024 and sparked the GOP's dream of a multiracial working class coalition. He's also probably the single most despised person in American politics. So of course, Trump appointed him Chief of Staff after getting humiliated at the polls. It's so perfect.

This is great. A testament you never know the long tail of how you show up. I have my own stories where I know - years later - how I impacted someone’s life for the positive because how I chose to show up in a given moment. Glad @jonstewart got to hear this from @SarahLongwell25
In which I get to tell @jonstewart about the moment he changed my life.

⬇️ ended up being prescient of a huge wave. Democrats out-performed their polls in 2025 in NJ (& VA), including as communities of color reversed course hard on their ‘24 shift toward Trump, giving Democrats huge margins. ‘26 then took it even further in NJ, & nationally.

And btw, this is simply a fact, not an ideological agenda or anything. El Sayed posted the least impressive performance given the partisan makeup of each state + the outcome.
The Democratic party might infer something from the respective strength of their senate candidates to determine a new policy agenda.
The strongest battleground senate candidate: Talarico. The weakest: El Sayed.

.@CoryBooker ran for President with a message of love in 2020. He didn’t lose. He was simply ahead of his time.

.@JamesTalarico: We didn’t win by alienating our neighbors, or by shaming our neighbors, or by ridiculing our neighbors. We embodied a new kind of politics. A politics rooted in a deep love — for our state, for our country, and for all of our neighbors.
My faith teaches me that orce in the universe.
Love is not passive. Love is not neutral. Love is not weak. Love requires that we stand between the bullies and the bullied. Love requires that we look evil in the eye and not blink.
Love can heal what’s broken in America.

Elon Musk moving to Texas to get away from Dems, becoming the biggest partisan megadonor in history, then spending around a half-billion dollars to have his own state go blue immediately in the next election — with data centers the top gov issue — is pretty impressive
