Here's a wild idea in politics: what if the nice guys win, and the mean guys lose? (gift link below).

I've been saying! vox.com/politics/473801/elon…
I’ve come to think @elonmusk ended up doing Dems and progressives a huge favor by turning this place into a fetid swamp of feral right wing freaks where the most prominent members of their coalition post like cartoon movie villains and think it makes them look cool.

🧵 The midterm results speak to why our podcast is premised on charting our post-Trump future.
In removing Trump from the center, we were able to see several factors that shaped this week's winners and losers -- but also 2028 and beyond. We were also much closer to the electorate, cause they're sick of talking about Trump, too
Here are some of the episodes that speak to the results:

If you want to read about Senator-elect Adam Hamilton, and the way he became the first Democratic senator from Kansas in nearly 100 years, I have the piece for you:

For @voxdotcom, I wrote about how governments in India, Israel, and the United States are using forms of denaturalization as threat and what it says about their larger projects

"If Hamilton, and a handful of other candidates of faith in nearby Iowa and Texas, win, it could signal a shift in US politics — or at least a tremor in one of its most rock-solid certainties." From @realcpaz vox.com/politics/507577/kans…
Thrilled for this @voxdotcom x @kylascan collab! Here's the trailer for her new show, Best of Luck with Kyla Scanlon. youtube.com/watch?v=62aBuDKs…

There are real limits to what we can accomplish in a world where people believe nothing they do really matters.
My book (!) is about how we wound up in a place where millions of people feel like spectators in their own lives. And how we course correct. Because we can.

We’re adding a second America Actually episode each week until the midterms!
Today I’m talking to @mehdirhasan at 1230 on @Substack live. On Trump’s press ban, media credibility, and how the public opinion change on Israel has affected both parties.
In audio and on @voxdotcom YouTube later today

If Collins loses, abortion rights groups will say it serves as proof that the issue still moves voters even if it doesn't top their lists, and as a warning to all Republicans running in 2028.
If she wins, the explanations for why Collins is unique are already getting prepared
Abortion has faded nationally as a major midterms issue, but it's a top focus in the Maine Senate race, where Democrats are banking that Collins's Kavanaugh vote will cost her in a way it didn't back in 2020.

“America, Actually,” a new offering from Vox, is trying to talk about politics without talking about the President. Is that even possible? newyorker.com/culture/podcas…

First @Substack newsletter: The story of the Democratic primaries since the 2024 election isn't about the rise of the left, but the credibility collapse of the center.
+ a talk with @SamuelJRob -- Michigan 🐐 and a reporter for the state's oldest Black newspaper, the Michigan Chronicle, on if El-Sayed's issues with Black voters are more perception or reality.
Some takeaways 🧵
