Here's the post's swing state counter: some visual interactive maps where you can take it down to county level in each state, and see number of votes, counted/uncounted:

Israel has given Iran a real scare Andy. They just took out their remaining S-300 air defence batteries in the last strike, and pointed out the vulnerability to their leadership.

That is one version of events, there are others.
I don't know what is correct, but some commentators (Alaister Crooke) saying the Israelis aborted half the mission as their planes were being tracked whilst in Iraqi airspace? And they were the ones who got a real scare.
Propaganda coming from both sides.
Let's see how Iran respond.

I follow a guy on Instagram and he put a post up on abortion from his god bothering perspective… a couple of woman commented on the issue as a health and their decision… about 50 oldish white men just attacked these 2 woman as a pack. What about our (mens) abortion rights? was repeatedly screamed at them. Farking crazy stuff.

I’m the opposite , if he does win I hope he ends wars , brings stability to the ME , MAHA , etc etc , the drill baby drill is a worry however and to accomplish what he’s promised, all in 4 years will take some divine intervention. There will be some worried individuals and institutions if he does get up . USA is in for a ride either way .

Trump only cares about trump. He's already said he wont support Ukraine... what's in it for him? Plus Putins his buddy!! Putin will go hard. Trump hates Chy-Na but probably doesn't even know what Taiwan is. And trumps a Jewish puppet so that mass murderer in Israel can keep on keeping on. Plus all that artilleryis good business for Murica. Hard days ahead.

bottom line is, changing anything to do with roe v wade is taken as a personal attack for a certain cohort...

fair enough, it is an attack on long established 'rights'

but, it seems a large majority of women are more concerned with trans nuttery, safety from 'illegal' migration, and safety in women's spaces than the confected roe v wade outrage - sasha stone for example...

but, the reality is, there is a problem around late term abortions as well - with even a majority of democrats believing so...

but, the party machine presents it all as a black and white either / or issue...

but but but... :)

when really, it is a more nuanced issue for most people, where maybe a local influence ain't all bad...

especially when you have such a broad diverse population as in across the US

fact is, technology, and a heap of things, have changed the debate from the 50 year old original argument

but the either / or crowd are having none of that...

and, frankly, it seems a heap of women are willing to prioritise other issues anyway

David Brooks been excellent on PBS. Amidst the morose liberals still trying to find a path for Harris.

Assuming trend continues, noting large swings to Trump in big cities, Dem strongholds, he’s saying something along the lines of that the results indicate class has replaced race as the big dividing line, and Trump is assembling a multi ethnic working class coalition.

New Jersey case in point. 16 point margin for Dems in 2020, reduced to 6 points now.
