Veterans Day 2025 anntelnaes.substack.com/p/veterans-day

I love history…….. department.va.gov/veterans-day...

November 1919, President Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day. On June 1, 1954, November 11th became a day to honor American Veterans of ALL wars. Months later, on October 8th, President Dwight D. Eisenhower issued the first #VeteransDay 🇺🇸💙✌🏽 #SheShed 🇺🇸💙✌🏽

People understand that the Democrats can’t stop every bad thing from happening. But they’re also scared and angry and want leaders who will stand up and fight with everything they’ve got. That’s the bare minimum we deserve.

BREAKING: In a sweeping victory for voters, a Utah judge struck down the GOP’s latest gerrymander ruling that lawmakers violated the state constitution. This restores a voter-approved ban on partisan gerrymandering and enacts a fairer map for 2026.

Today the Supreme Court granted review in an important case for the outcome of the 2026 elections. At stake is the fate of tens or even hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee my law firm has filed to intervene to defend the new California congressional map from attack. www.democracydocket.com/cases/califo...

"We’re done waiting for Dems to find their spine. We can’t afford a weak & cowardly Democratic Party while the authoritarians invade our cities, terrorize our communities, & threaten our democracy. We get the party we demand, & we intend to demand a Democratic Party that fights.” — @indivisible.org

“After a year spent organizing to try to convince the Democratic Party to unify and oppose this regime, here’s where I am: The time for convincing is over. We need new leadership.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social Demand that your Dem senators call on Schumer to step aside: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Sat down with partners, @milkeninstitute.org, Amcham Brasil, climate investors, and private sector leaders to discuss deepening international partnerships in clean energy and economic growth. California is proud to lead by example in providing market stability and spurring innovation.

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run. We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader. If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

Honored to represent the Golden State in Brazil today — proof that clean energy and innovation strengthen our economy, communities, and planet. While Donald Trump is busy handing the future to China, California continues to build and invest in it.

Jeffries is whipping NO votes in the House on the shutdown deal. From Jake Sherman at Punchbowl:

Since 2020, I have been fighting for mail-in voting and the GOP has been fighting against it. A critical court case is now going before the U.S. Supreme Court. I can assure you that I will be there fighting hard to ensure every lawful ballot counts.

Language buried in this shutdown “deal” allows 8 GOP Senators who tried to throw a coup, sue to get millions in taxpayer money—because Jack Smith got their phone records. THEY TRIED TO THROW A COUP. There is no excuse for any Dem supporting this. This is absolutely wrong. Full stop—Period.

These are dark times to be sure. But I believe future generations will look back on this scourge and see not just what was destroyed but also what was born. Many of you are now sowing the seeds of fundamental reform. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/a01JFFB_aE4

Brilliant new ad campaign I just spotted at the Southwark tube station in London.

With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

Prop 50 blowout: Newsom’s fight-fire-with-fire wins big

Beautiful!

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

Last night, Mainers protected their fundamental right to make their voices heard at the ballot box.

Zohran Mamdani ran on freezing the rent in NYC. Abigail Spanberger ran on supporting fired federal workers and lowering the cost of living in VA. Mikie Sherrill ran on lowering utility bills in NJ. Ensuring people can afford to live a decent life is the path forward.

True leadership means standing up for what’s right—even when the path forward isn’t easy. Speaker Pelosi has shown that courage time and again, taking on the gun lobby and helping pass the first major federal gun safety law in a generation. @pelosi.house.gov

So let’s talk about additional local wins we probably aren’t paying enough attention to! Just a quick reminder that local elections are equally important and at the end there’s a quick reminder we have one more election this month in OK we need to support!

NEW: Billions of pounds of food are imported to the U.S. each year. The FDA inspects foreign producers to ensure what we're eating is safe from pathogens and dangerous manufacturing practices. But now, after Trump's drastic staff cuts, these inspections have plummeted to a historic low. 🧵/

I had the honor of covering Nancy Pelosi pretty much daily for 8 years and she’s without doubt the most consequential woman in American 🇺🇸 political history and one of the top 5 Speakers of all time: www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

NANCY PELOSI IS RETIRING www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Think back to how you felt a year ago when Trump was reelected. Now think about how you feel after last night's election. You volunteered. You went to protests. You didn't check out. You put in the work required for our democracy — and it's paying off. Remember this.

Do not cave Democrats!

“This is something I experienced as a woman, but it is something that all women in our country experience,” said Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum. “If I do not file a complaint, where does that leave all Mexican women? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

AI pioneers claim human-level general intelligence is already here on.ft.com/3JERVRg

In their nationwide election drubbing this week, Republicans got a glimpse of the future that scares them most: a future in which the coalition President Donald Trump built for them falls apart when he is no longer there.

IRS Direct File, the electronic system developed during Biden’s presidency for filing tax returns for free, will not be offered next year. It faced criticism from Republican lawmakers and commercial tax preparation companies, which have made billions from charging people to use their software.

This is absolutely shameful!

As Democrats are riding the high of several notable electoral victories on Tuesday, the outlook for 2026 appears a bit tougher.

CEOs are taking hard stances on AI, remote work, and DEI "woke-ism," urging employees to obey or exit and signaling a shift in leadership dynamics.

A handpicked article read aloud from the latest issue of The Economist

Economic discontent helped deliver election wins to Democrats in the New York City mayor’s race and in the governor’s races in New Jersey and Virginia.

“I can't, for the life of me, figure out why we are still so rigid and moderating everything when we have nothing to lose for the first time,” a Democratic digital strategist tells WIRED. www.wired.com/story/do-dem...

Two of the media organizations that have really "met the moment" in national coverage are Teen Vogue and WIRED. Along with student-run college newspapers in general. And scores of local start-ups. The main hope for journalism (in its dark times) is the next wave of journalists.

Teen Vogue and WIRED are both part of Conde Nast. If they've cut the politics coverage at Teen Vogue... it makes me worried they'll cut Wired as well. I hope not, but...
