The renewed bout of Mueller-worship (provoked by Sessions’ resignation) at the other place is driving me batty.

Rashida is my Congresswoman, and I’m very happy about that.

Of the Dem gains in the House, how many came from GOP-controlled states?

What’s your criteria for GOP-controlled? Majority of state offices like governor, assembly, attorney general, etc…? Or both US senators? Or a majority or incumbent House members?

GOP in control of the electoral process was what I was mainly thinking of.

I’m trying to figure out how much was successful resistance of redstate voter suppression vs how much was dumping GOP reps from blue states.

In her “victory” speech last night at the DCCC—an organization so out of touch and self-indulgent that they were reportedly blasting “Fight Song” before the returns came in last night—Pelosi had the gall to call the blue trickle a “new day in America,” a phrase which, on Wednesday morning, was true only in the most literal sense. Things did not improve from there: Pelosi vowed to “strive for bipartisanship” and, even worse, hyped something called the “bipartisan marketplace of ideas.” This is the next House Speaker’s idea of a victory speech; this is the elected official charged with leading the Democrats into battle once more. Trump and the Republicans will continue to stoke white America’s fear of a black and brown country until they stop drawing breath, but at least we’ll be armed to hilt with uh, the “bipartisan marketplace.” We could all find ourselves in one internment camp or another and there will be Nancy Pelosi, still asking for civility and compromise in this moment of adversity. It’s nice to have one singular thing to count on from her, and it’s obvious that she’s not the person who should be in charge going forward.
