"When I walked outside on this beautiful fall morning, I heard birds singing — even the mourning doves sounded a little less doleful. And then I heard it: neighbors laughing as they walked their dog.
Neighbors laughing. I realized I hadn’t heard that on our street in a long time. Maybe for a year — or thereabouts.
As the leaves fall here in the Virginia suburbs, hopes rise again for American democracy."

"The election was a rebuke of Trump and not only because he has failed to deliver economic relief. … The margins matter as an indication of where things are heading, namely, voters do not want Trumpism to reign unchecked."

"Bret Baier—on Fox News, to Fox & Friends—had to explain to his audience how bad it was. 'It’s a big loss,' he said. Not just the results, but 'the spreads are surprising.' …
When the votes came in, Fox News had to explain to its own audience that Republicans lost. Badly. Not in spite of Trump’s power, but because of what Trump’s power is doing to people."

"The sheer magnitude of these wins, and the massive surge in (Democratic) turnout that produced them, shows that people are furious about what Trump and MAGA are doing. And it shows just how badly we were misled by poll-driven takes declaring that Americans supported Trump’s cruel mass deportation plans."
