What to Expect From a Blue Tsunami (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With only six weeks to go until Election Day 2026, the Democratic Party is running against history. If Republicans ever once had a hope of meaningfully contending for another trifecta, it is now long gone, sunk somewhere at the bottom of the Strait of Hormuz. Despite all of their efforts to lie, cheat, and outright rig the elections this year, the backlash to the incumbents and their failed policies has grown far too large for them to manage or survive. As things stand, quantitative models have
2026 Senate Ratings: Iran Makes the Boss Call (opens the original)
Read excerpt
(Credit for the voiceover for this article goes to the great Samuel Lipson)For the past week, I have been thinking constantly about someone who I do not know the name of.

Across the whole span of the political spectrum, from the most arrogant Republican operativ

(Credit for the voiceover for this article goes to the great Samuel Lipson)As hard as it may be to believe, it is true: the 2028 presidential election cycle will begin in earnest less than three months from now. As things stand, we are a long way from knowing how this race will go, who it will be contested between, or even what its most important issues will be. But there are two things that we can say with absolute certainty: a) that it will be framed in absolutely existential terms, and b) tha
