JUST IN: Polls closed in France. Exit polls show surprise: —Left coalition (New Popular Front) projected first. (!) —Far-right (RN) has lost its bid to take power. Anti-RN front appears to have worked very well. —No bloc close to majority. Follow this 🧵 for results and more:

Biden’s getting the Claudine Gay treatment from the NYT, but it only worked because Gay was shanked by donors and trustees. Dems seem eager to do the same.

Still crazy to me that the left gets branded as “out of touch” by the pundit class whenever college students protest a transphobic phrenologist speaking on campus but they gloss over how many establishment conservatives want to ban the pill
I really don’t think most people realize just how hard the boot will come down if Trump and the Republicans win the election. Most people have never experienced the totalitarian surveillance state with the power to reach into their homes and minds at will they are telling us is their plan.

People love repeating I Have a Dream, but it's really the Letter from a Birmingham Jail that I find myself tapping the sign over and over for folks. MLK had deep, meaningful thoughts that apply today and the strongest ones I think came up in that letter.

'Mothers in Gaza are so malnourished themselves that they cannot breastfeed, and so babies are dying, literally starving to death, because they cannot get the vital nutrition that newborns need.' Yes, but does it meet the definition of genocide that I made up? news.sky.com/story/newbor...

Orange Man Bad explains far more than many comparative politics PhDs care to admit
"viewing Trump as something like a fascist leader foresaw the violence of January 6th as a live possibility, while its critics mocked the notion as mere hysteria. Whatever its shortcomings, “Trump as fascist” remains the best guide to what Trump will try to do next"

Average GOP podcast appearance: “we must begin an era of national cleansing, and just so no one in the woke media misinterprets that let me just state that I am a huge fan of Hitler” Average Dem Podcast appearance: “I ❤️ Credit Cards”

Still amazed that the right has voluntarily driven itself insane via its own deranged propaganda and convinced themselves that this power grab is necessary because they honestly believe Joe Biden is a Maoist

Thousands of people saying Biden has the opportunity to do the funniest thing fundamentally misunderstand that he is being burped by Jill right now. The president is spitting up soup on his bib

Pretty clear that the Federalist Society project to take over the courts for the far right is the most successful and consequential political effort in history. Only took them a few decades. Meanwhile, Dems are like "Let's not be hasty, blue slips serve an important function in preserving comity."

While I don’t doubt that they endorse this view, the court did just strike a blow to the J6 prosecutions so a more accurate summation would be that law just doesn’t apply to conservatives.
Shorter Supreme Court this term: criminal law is for little people.

The conservative majority wouldn’t have manufactured this precedent if they didn’t believe they would be back in control of the executive branch very soon
