Note to future self: Sleeping through the bad didn't make it less bad, although it did reduce the overall length of the bad by a few hours.
I'm seeing a lot of “now is not the time for arguing over what went wrong,” and while this may be true in the sense that we're all terribly exhausted
Today in class we talked quite a bit about what Trump cabinet would look like, especially the national security positions. Like many, I find comfort in a retreat to the analytical. It's a fascinating situation, because Trump obviously regrets the approach he took in 2016; several of his selections were actively obstructive and most of them ended up on the other side of this election. The Trump team has had a lot more time this go around, but is suffering under a new restriction; unless Trump can change the Constitution, somebody else has to run for President in 2028. Folks appointed to prominent cabinet positions (especially Secretary of State) become potential competitors with JD Vance for the 2028 GOP nomination, a situation that probably doesn't bother Trump, although it does complicate his choices.

On the lighter side of the news, the Air Force is giving some thought to giving up on its sixth-generation fighter:
Much like in 2004 and 2016 (emotionally this election feels like the former, although in terms of legal and physical vulnerability it resembles the latter) folks are talking about abandoning these United States for fairer shores abroad. I don't like this kind of talk, whether as emotional eruption or serious intention. I worry that it suggests an unwillingness to fight the fight that needs to be fought; moving abroad can be a form of taking one's ball and going home. It leaves the fight to the people who can't leave, and makes them weaker for the abandonment. American citizenship is a great privilege but it is also a responsibility. We need you here, with your money and your vote and your voice affecting the course of the world's wealthiest and most powerful political instrument.
Object lesson on why we need to wait for results to cohere before forming the circular firing squad: As Dan noted, this is pretty far from a landslide. The story of “15 million Democrats just didn’t show up” is clearly wrong, notwithstanding how things looked a few days ago. Overall turnout will be down slightly […]
President-elect Donald J. Trump is expected to name Senator Marco Rubio of Florida as his secretary of state, three people familiar with his thinking said on Monday, as Mr. Trump moves rapidly to fill out his foreign policy and national security team.
I mean, turning Odysseus' return to Ithaca into a Liam Neeson style revenge flick COULD work…

Governor Andy has thoughts on how to rebuild the Democratic coalition. What I offer instead is a way forward.
Not gonna shock anyone here to learn that the national security team is looking very, very bad. A president picks cabinet members because he needs to pay off factions within the party, draw upon reserves of legitimacy, take advantage of real administrative talent, or because he just gets along with them personally. When the cabinet fails the President fails… which is something that Donald Trump is fully aware of and has enunciated repeatedly in public!
