"Democrat Brandon Dukes defeated Republican Scott Timko in Pennsylvania’s 12th state House district. Donald Trump in 2024 carried the district by 18 percentage points, showing a total collapse in GOP support."
I live here. I can assure you that this area of Butler County is very very red.
Dukes' win was definitely a lot more than I expected.
You may remember that this is the county where the alleged assassination attempt of Trump occurred on July 13, 2024.
What I keep missing from the discussions about the Iran War is the fact that hundreds and hundreds, if not thousands, of Iranians have been killed in this war of choice, and we could add the people killed in Lebanon because Israel took our lead (which was planned) and then bombed over there, and possibly other places in the Middle East (I don't have the exact figures here). That's more important, even, than the tragic loss of our soldiers, because those people who died hadn't enlisted to serve in any war, they were innocent civilians trying to live out their own lives. It's true that our soldiers had been taken by surprise and had been killed in our bases without any warning; they weren't fighting, either. But the civilians in the other countries are completely innocent and we should want to know their names and know exactly what happened to them. We could begin with the school that was bombed by mistake, killing 168 people, mostly little girls. This should be very, very important to us, and I'm just not hearing podcasters talking about them first and foremost. Just because they're not American, we can't take them for granted at all, ever, forevermore. It was the same way with all the other wars of choice we've fought, all since WWII.

I hope that Texas keeps turning purple. People have had enough of Trump
