If liberal Catholics can learn to deal with their political/moral values being inconsistent with Church doctrine, so can conservative Catholics. Telling the Pope he doesn’t understand the religion he leads is quite a move.

@poozer87 60% is usually the top of the ticket threshold that means it’s a strong year for Democrats in NY. 50-33 is a good place to be if undecideds break for the Dem, which seems plausible given the national environment right now.

Not enough words to describe the impact @SenGianaris has left on New York. He never shied from taking on the powers that be-whoever they were-and won more often than not. Grateful he saw something in an Astoria kid in local politics and brought me along for an epic journey.
Sen. Mike Gianaris@SenGianaris

I have decided not to seek re-election this year. Thank you to so many who have been on this ride with me throughout the years. It has been an honor to serve my community. My full statement below

This endorsement means so much to me. Jerry Nadler has set an incredibly high bar for decades for smart, principled, progressive leadership on issue after issue. I’m honored beyond words to have his support.
Jerry Nadler@JerryNadler

I’m proud and excited to endorse @micahlasher for Congress. He’ll bring a sense of urgency, creativity, and fearlessness to Washington.

@lukeradel That’s not it, and regardless the district lines don’t explain several decades of electoral trends from the precinct-level on up. Now Rep. Mannion originally won a Senate seat that WAS gerrymandered to benefit Republicans yet became competitive over time because of these shifts.

Central NY’s slow but steady shift to the left over the past few decades should be studied. For a while as it transitioned, ticket splitting between Presidential Dems and House/state leg Rs was common. Now it’s pretty reliably Dem.

The days of #NY22 being a swing district are over.

It looks like in 15 of the 18 Suffolk County Legislature seats, the Democratic nominee performed at least 5 points better than in 2023

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.
.@GregTSargent

These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are alive and well: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs likely to lose 2026, and Trump is very unpopular, not a magical exception.

@Elmazzzzzz You are a more talented scroller of county BOE websites than I am, but there appears to me a major Dem overperformance across the board north of the city.

As damaged as the national Democratic brand might be, the party allows candidates to distance themselves from that brand and run locally-tailored races. Trump is the GOP brand and demands absolute fealty, putting Republican candidates in swing areas in an impossible position.

After tonight, half the Dems are going to say “look at New York, we have to run more socialists!” and the other half are going to say “look at VA, we have to run more moderates!” and the answer is yes to both. The answer is a big-tent positivity that embraces both.

Unanimous ruling in favor of even year elections. All the Republicans who lit taxpayer funds on fire to bring this no-shot lawsuit owe a public apology to their constituents.
Jon Campbell@JonCampbellNY

NEW: NY state’s top court upholds law moving local elections (outside cities) to even years. Republicans challenged it. Court of Appeals ruled unanimously. Judge Garcia — a Republican appointed by Cuomo — wrote the opinion.
