So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out
The message of the Right reacting to Virginia is the same as the message of "2020 was rigged": no victory by anyone but us is ever legitimate. We are the only ones allowed to win.
These people are cartoon villains entitled to no respect and no trust. Rabid dogs.
Never stop talking about the #EpsteinFiles. Never.
But the bubbles! I loved that part.
The right gambled, tried to rig the election, lost, and now it’s excuses and tears.
Thanks for everything, Virginia. 🙏🏽
The people of Virginia have spoken.
While Trump and Republicans try to rig the midterm elections, voters are stopping them at every turn.
Tonight is a victory for the American people and our democracy.
Let’s keep fighting.
EARLIER: Virginia voters approve a Democratic redistricting plan that could allow the party to pick up as many as four new seats in the midterm elections.

Me too! We are kind of a purple state, but Republicans make us miserable a lot. They use guns as a wedge issue.
So happy!
Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
My most liberal idpol radlib take is that I think it's pretty bad that
right wing forces are actively intervening on behalf of the Klan with the full weight of the state legal apparatus
#PierceBrosnan honouring #RobinWilliams who acted together in #MrsDoubtfire,. Pierce said he never felt so comfortable and laughed so much as he did on this Film. This is in Deauville, France. ♥ 📼 #filmsky #moviesky 🔄
The SAVE AMERICA ACT is a VOTER SUPPRESSION ACT and all Americans should know the truth!!!
For all the handwringing Dems interviewed by NPR yesterday claiming this was a bad idea because it failed some self-imposed purity test, welcome to realpolitik.
Governance by social media sucks.
one of the ways the mid to late 20th century political world has distorted the historical memories of even sophisticated observers is in the idea that you can achieve major transformations of american political life through something like bipartisan consensus
AP called it Yes at 8:49. It was damn close. The right spent a lot of money trying to confuse voters.
Well done!
Gaslit Nation listeners organized postcard writing for Virginia in our Monday salons. This victory belongs to every volunteer who got out the vote. My 80 year old parents drove from my Mrs. Orwell book launch in NYC to early voting in Virgina. A five hour drive. That's how I knew we would win.

No kidding. I hate cheating.
Trump telling TX & NC to redraw maps without their voters consent was definitely underhanded. Everything Republicans do is underhanded.
Surprise (for me) Yes counties so far are Charles City, by about 40 votes & Greensville.
Kornacki is calling it Yes for VA!
I saw a no sign today that was identical to a yes sign w/ Gov Spanberger’s pic. Seems underhanded.
Well Botetourt lol’
All eyes are on Virginia tonight and it brings me back to my favorite thing: national news folks who have no idea how to pronounce things in this dang state.
