"And there’s a lot of time between now and November. But based on the track records of the parties on special state legislative elections over the past 16 months, I’d rather be us than them any day: The two wins yesterday in Florida bring the total seats flipped by Democrats since 2024 in special legislative elections to 30.
Republicans have flipped zero."
"I am trying to think of a period in my long lifetime when so many things in the United States were completely off the rails, and the country itself was being held at gunpoint by a racist, heartless, and gutless political party so intent on inflicting pain and hurt on its citizens rather than helping them."
"And here:
We are at war.
Gas prices are skyrocketing.
Consumer prices on things like food, clothes, and healthcare are soaring.
A crooked president’s goon squad is murdering people in our streets.
Our airports are being controlled by those goons, and clogged to overflowing."
Noting that the election of a Democrat in the district in Florida representing Trump's Mar-a-Lago adds confirmation to the expectation of a blue wave in the coming elections, D. Earl Stephens writes:
"Let’s start here today, patriots:
Republicans are in charge of the House.
Republicans are in charge of the Senate.
Republicans are in charge of the Executive.
Republicans are in charge of the Supreme Court."
"We’ll need to unpack this after the smoke clears, but this result is consistent with a national pattern showing independents are deeply unhappy with Trump. ...
Special elections aren’t necessarily indicative of what will happen in the midterms."

"Our government has been attacked by billionaires and is unable to meet the needs of a public who pay the bills with their hard-earned taxes.
Clean air and water are under attack by corporate vultures."

A #Florida #Democrat secured a stunning #election victory in Trump’s backyard.
Democrat #EmilyGregory won a Florida special election Tuesday, flipping a #state #legislative district that is home to #MarALago, the Palm Beach estate that #Trump counts as his residence.
Trump had endorsed Gregory’s rival, Jon Maples. In a social media post Monday, he urged voters to turn out, saying Maples was backed “by so many of my Palm Beach County friends.”
