Pretty wild that we just went through an election where a top foreign adversary aggressively tried to stop Democrats from voting — including calling in bomb threats to swing state polling locations — and there’s zero media interest in learning what Trump plans to do about that.

Chin up, team. Take some time. Take care of yourself. Take care of your loved ones. Take care of your community.
There are a million ways to make a difference—get back in the fight when you’re ready.
And know that, whenever you are ready, I’ll be ready to get back in with you.

RT @itszenakeita: When people used to fail open-book tests in high school, I used to be genuinely confused.
I get it now.

Eight years ago this night, my son asked me: "What do we do now?"
I answered,
"We walk to the bar, strike up the band, and sing The Marseillaise."
These past few months, my plan for 2025 was to retire from political journalism.
Seems I'll have to make new plans.

"This is PRECISELY the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write... That is how civilizations heal."

In the coming days there's gonna be a lot of opining about what the Harris campaign did wrong, but this election was not an indictment of Kamala Harris. It was an indictment of America.

As an American who's lived in Europe for some time, America has never seemed further away.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

BREAKING: In the first suburb of Georgia to cross 90% reporting, Kamala Harris is running 7 points ahead of President Biden. This is huge.
