And to almost all, a good night!

 Suddenly nobody is talking about the poll where Trump wins all the swing states.  The experts are busy trying to explain what just happened.  Is Joe Biden not too old anymore?  How can we both-sides this?

Andy Beshear won a second term as governor by insisting on his support for women's right to choose.  Now he has to persuade Kentuckians to finish the job by giving him a Democratic legislature.

Ohio voted to protect abortion rights in the state constitution.  Also, legal weed.

Virginia flipped the House of Delegates to the Democrats and flipped the bird to Glenn Youngkin and his presidential aspirations.  Abortion was an issue there, too, and the "parental control" scam that cripples schools and assaults libraries.  Albemarle rejected Meg Bryce, daughter of Antonin Scalia, for the school board.  It looks like Karl Frisch was re-elected in Providence.

In Mississippi Brandon Presley narrowly lost to Tate Reeves, probably because he is not pro-choice.  So the candidate usually described as "Elvis's cousin" has no one else to blame.  Read the room.

One of the more satisfying results was in New York, where Yusef Salaam was elected to the city council.  Salaam was fourteen when he and four other men were convicted of assaulting the woman know to the tabloids as the Central Park Jogger in 1989.  All were exonerated when the actual rapist confessed, to the displeasure of a certain real estate scamster:  "I want to hate these murderers and I always will," wrote rapist Donald Trump, although no one was murdered.  "Bring back the death penalty and bring back our police!"  (I remember when New York fired all the police -- what a day that was!)  Even after the exoneration he continued to rage at the five, because he is never wrong.  So as the Trump empire teeters on its rotten foundations, Dr. Salaam (below) will have the last and best laugh.

It's remarkable, and a little sad, that in 2023 we still have to acknowledge the "first Black ___," but Rhode Island elected its first Black Congressman, Gabe Amo.  He worked in the Obama White House and for Governor Gina Raimondo, now Secretary of Commerce.

Excited by their success when voters failed to show up for school board elections, Moms for Liberty ran MAGAs all over the country.  And lost big, because it's dawning on Americans that there's no such thing as an insignificant election anymore, even in an off-year.  Zoning boards, utility boards, small-town councils had better brace for next year, with plenty of pens and ballots and nice people who tell you where to vote.

Ivanka knows nothing, which is even less than her brothers.  She is not an accountant.  She can't recall.  Was it something to do with buildings?  Again, she is not an accountant, and she doesn't think the court should have torn her away from her children for an entire day, leaving the nannies and the maids to cope alone.  She knows so little that she may not be able to find her way home.  Do you like her hair?

Tonight in Miami, the big Republican debate happens.  Do you think Hugh Hewitt, Kristen Welker and Lester Holt will ask the candidates about last night's ass-kicking?  Neither do I.
