Hopium

I don't know how good Larry's crystal ball prediction ever is, but there it is.

HOUSE: 239 at least Leans Democratic, 196 at least Leans Republican (D+24)

SENATE: 53 at least Leans Democratic, 47 at least Leans Republican (D+6)

GOVERNORS: 28 at least Leans Democratic, 22 at least Leans Republican (D+4)

The D Senate seat flips are:   Maine, Ohio, North Carolina, Kansas, Texas, Alaska. No R flips.

Journalism

The final chapter was fun, but we shouldn't forget that there was precisely zero reason for the deep thoughts of Haley Stevens to be top stories on CNN and NYT for days.

Stevens was never a prominent Democrat. She was not an incumbent senator. She was a backbench member of Congress who lost a primary and such people are usually forgotten immediately.

She was only a story because many journalists are as Islamophobic as she is and were happy to platform her to get their own digs in.


Shooting The Dead

Important to understand everybody relevant in politics and journalism knew she was like this and yet somehow never said anything.



Sure Why Not

There a few buildings left standing in Gaza and the missiles are in them.

IDF officials assess that Hamas currently possesses hundreds of rockets, aided by smuggling from Israel. The developments come amid a diplomatic stalemate in Gaza, with officials saying Trump has lost interest in resolving the situation

Better safe than sorry! 

Please Don't Let Me Hit The Ground

I won't claim I don't eye the polls, but I have detached myself from the emotional rollercoaster of them. As the election is tomorrow, here's some hopium.

Democrats Show Strength in Final Days of Race for the Senate, New Polls Find

On Their Own

I don't know if this is good or bad, by design or incompetence, but it does seem that, more than I can remember from past elections, Dem midterm candidates are out there doing their own things without some sort of unifying party message.

Just a mild observation, not a criticism of anything.

Morning

Sunday funday. 10K race for me.

 Top of CNN. Live updates!

Fierce fighting has broken out between the dominant pro-genocide wing of the party, and its anti-genocide rebels. Pro-genocide state media is very concerned and is doing its part to smash the rebels.

Happy Hour

Week over.

WHEEEEE

Maybe the tech guys should get back to doing what they do best - reinventing the bus.

No Fair

I suspect this will be the last time this is allowed to happen, though I could be wrong!

Taibeh, Israel —  For decades, many Palestinian citizens of Israel stayed away from the polls, refusing to legitimize a system they say has oppressed their people, sidelined their concerns, and failed to represent them.

But this time felt different: after four years under the most right-wing government in Israel’s history, hundreds of thousands of Arab voters decided they could not afford to sit on the sidelines.

They turned out in record numbers – nearly 80% – to vote on Tuesday, compared with 53% in the last elections, according to the Mossawa Center, a civil society organization promoting equality for Palestinian citizens of Israel. That turnout gives Israel’s Arab parties unprecedented political sway with 19 seats in the 120-seat parliament.

 I get why many boycotted, though it definitely served the interests of their oppressors to do so.
