Lot of the midterm story can get written as more complex than it really is, but the environment going from "bad" to "disastrous" for the GOP can really be captured in one plot.

They said how politics in America used to be so different, and that they were learning about Obama in history class and they watched a clip of him debating Romney it was like a different world

And I was like, what do you mean history class

So I am at the lock conference and it has been probably about two years since I actually picked a lock open (all my tools are in my storage unit), it took me a hot minute to get the feeling back to it, but I still have some skill (yes I know it’s a master 3, shut up about it)

chat is it good if leaders in a nuclear power are posting like this after a 3hr security briefing
Guillaume Lacroix
@Lacroix_PRG
Translated from French
I’ve just emerged from nearly 3 hours of briefing and discussions with the President of the Republic and the intelligence and security services. At the age of 50, I have rarely felt such vertigo. Vertigo at the gravity of the situations in the Middle East and Ukraine, at the predatory madness driving the world toward chaos. Vertigo at the risks and consequences for our security, our economy, our purchasing power. Vertigo at all these candidates who dream, unrestrained, confident in their certainties and their posturing, of governing France in this historical and grave era and situation. Our democracy, our country must already face up to it today and will have to stand firm tomorrow. More than ever, I will fight, in my modest role, for France not to surrender its destiny to delirious egos, to armchair warmongers, to fake pacifists, and to those who submit to ease and fear. France must more than ever be strong. We must all contribute to that. The advantage of vertigo is that it reminds you not to fall. @PartiRadicalG
