The next push to protect trans rights needs to be:
- Passing gender identity protections in state constitutions
- Repealing anti-trans laws where we have the numbers
- Calling in the Dems that got scared and flinched on sports and surgeries
- Challenging the laws in the new left-leaning state courts

Midterm results don't mean Trump is over. Wounded animals are more dangerous. Abused spouses are most likely to be murdered when leaving. Narcissists losing ground frequently decide that if they can't have something, no one else should have it either, becoming ever more destructive or transgressive.

For starters: Replace Schumer and Jeffries, undo anti-trans, anti-lgbtq and anti-DEI bills, reinstate USAID, tax the shit out of the billionaires, regulate AI, a moratorium on data centers, nationalize Space X. Then roll up our sleeves and get to work for the next several decades cleaning this mess.

A Democrat trifecta in 2028 doesn't really change the long-term calculus for Canada. We can't afford to trust the Americans the way we used to. Ever.

My hot take:
I think it's hard to know whether any US midterm result will have a significant short-term impact on Canada-US relations.
I don't think any result changes anything about the long-term questions for Canada.

Update: A measure to stem the flow of dark money spending in Montana—and potentially beyond—has passed.
It could be the key to undoing Citizens United.

Sen. Warnock was just asked on CNN if Dems will focus on costs *or* corruption, and he responded "We can walk & chew gum at the same time." Hell yes, that is the message.

A wild data point: Democrats in North Carolina won every state Senate district that Trump had carried by up to 10%.
But the GOP has gerrymandered the state so aggressively that this is not enough for them to win the chamber.

Great piece & IMO, we stay on all their necks until we:
expand the SC
undo Citizens United
Medicare for All
protect trans folks
tax the rich (esp billionaires)
abolish ICE
shore up voting rights
yeet private equity into the sun
real regulation on tech, AI, surveillance
anti-trust a real thing again

Court reform should very much be on the agenda for Democrats this term.
As I noted in this piece, a lot of Democrats have drawn the wrong lessons from the history of FDR's court-packing plan.

THIS. Gerrymandering blocked Dems from gaining unified control over state government in GA, NC, TX, and maybe OH.
Nearly 1 in 5 Americans live in those states.
Many House races remain uncalled, but my very prelimiary estimate is gerrymandering cost Dems 2 dozen seats—only NC’s map fully fell apart

I said this on @nativelandpod.bsky.social but I'll repeat it here: A dangerous narrative is going to be "the GOP gerrymandering didn't work."
NO. It worked GREAT. We just OVERCAME it. But we'd have even MORE seats, and different candidates could have won those seats, without the gerryamndering.
