County election turnout maps (choropleths) for West Virginia.
Good coverage by @bradmcelhinny.bsky.social on early tea-leaf-reading in WV. Dem's filed candidates in most races - a signal about national level prospects. But in the state, midterms are super low turnout elections.
Save the post. Hundreds of workers at the Washington Post stand to lose their jobs in layoffs, which could render The Post unrecognizable amid some of the most severe staff cuts the newspaper has ever seen. If you value The Post and care about its future, we ask that you join us in person in our call to #SaveThePost. Feb 5, 2026 @ 1301 K St. NW 12:00-1:00pm

This week's cocktail comes from Scotland. Its OLD and perfect for Argyle weather. But disrespect it, and like a muscular Scot, it'll throw you down a well. This is the Atholl Brose. πΈπΉ #cocktails
