Virginia Democrats lost in several key swing districts. So how did they win the General Assembly?

What to make of the new book from Bill Watterson of Calvin and Hobbes fame

Few American cartoonists are as adored as Bill Watterson, or as reluctant to embrace that adoration. In 1985, Watterson began publishing Calvin and Hobbes, his syndicated newspaper comic strip about a mischievous Midwestern 6-year-old and his best friend, who is either a talking tiger or a stuffed animal, depending on who does the looking.

President Joe Biden has yet to demand publicly that Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad release their American hostages. Nor has he described the consequences should these citizens be harmed. This makes the United States look weak.

Biden trolls Trump after election night victories: ‘We haven’t stopped winning’

At a Thursday fundraising event in Chicago, President Biden trolled Republicans after Democrats secured several victories on election night. “Democrats had an incredible night once again,” Biden said at the event, touting Democrats out-performing Republicans, citing wins in Kentucky, Ohio, Virginia and Pennsylvania. “What happened on Tuesday is not unusual,” Biden said.
