I'm seeing a lot of people cite Texas as a counterexample, and I'm sure many, many voters were passionate about that issue. But it was just not nearly as important than the fact that diesel prices doubled between 2025 and 2026

Guys, if you are pointing to K–12 education as the issue that drove voters to chuck out every Republican except Abe Lincoln — in a six-year midterm, under a freakishly unpopular president who is waging an unsuccessful war amid inflation he vowed to end — please just listen to MJ

DeSantis, who comes out of this week in the best position of any '28 Republican contender, just retweeted a long list of his conservative policy wins. None relate to K–12 schools, parental rights, the war on woke — it's like 2022 never happened

It's been swamped by Adam Hamilton's once-in-a-century win, but the wider Democratic wave in Kansas is amazing. Democrats will hold the governorship for a third consecutive term and have won the AG's office for just the second time in a half-century

One detail from Tuesday that I feel hasn't gotten enough attention — Democrats appear to have ousted Kris Kobach as Kansas Attorney General
