Via Rep. Kenyatta:

MAJOR!! Dem James Malone FLIPS a state senate seat in #Pennsylvania!

This was a ruby red Trump +15 district in November.

@GottaLaff For a heart fluttering moment I read that as a seat in THE Senate.

@christineburns Hey, this is how it starts. @GottaLaff

Great news! Every reason to celebrate down ballot wins.

This one isn't minor.

One of the reasons - beyond all the criming - that the malign grifters have to gain authoritarian control is that this is likely to be a pattern from now on. Deep red seats may flip as the abject incompetence and plain ol' malevolence of the Trump admin hurts more and more people.

Indeed. May it also be how it continues. Here's to hoping and working for better things.

@SuneAuken @GottaLaff It's a pattern that I'm hoping even the less politically-fluent will be able to see.

COVID, though a disaster, could happened to any sitting President (though, undoubtedly, Trump's lack of leadership and chronic scientific incuriosity made it worse). But what's going on right now is absolutely a "No-one, literally nobody, Trump: 'Let's just make everything worse because I got my understanding of economics from the back of a cereal box'" situation, and I'm hoping even people who got their understanding of economics from budgeting fast food vs. mortgage payments can see it.

Well put, sir.
