Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

BREAKING: the Supreme Court has granted Trump administration’s request.

Remember Rev. David Black, the Chicago pastor who was shot in the head with pepper balls? If you haven't heard him speak yet, listen to this. To ICE: "You can repent"

Maths... If you make $100,000 a year (not bad), it will take you 10 MILLION years to earn a trillion dollars. If you make a million dollars a year (wow!), it'll still take you a million years to earn a trillion dollars. Tax the rich.

1) Tying opponents to unpopular Trump is effective 2) Anti-trans ads are played out 3) Progressive ideas are popular Above all, stand firm. There’s absolutely no reason to abandon any group or position.

I keep waiting for a credible report to come out on how the environmental costs of generative AI have been overstated but every article is like "lol no it's much worse than you imagine."

NEWS — The Oregon Department of Human Services has issued 100% of November SNAP benefits, per an alert on their website. I've received reports that the funds have already hit recipients' EBT accounts. www.oregon.gov/odhs/news/Pa...

“More nuanced” is AP-speak for “Trump was lying to justify bloody murder of innocent people.”

There had better be trials. And not just for the low-level thugs carrying out these orders, but for everyone up the chain of command. If we get past this, the solution isn’t to pretend it never happened and invite Stephen Miller to Harvard’s Institute of Politics. It’s trials w real punishments.

Chris Rufo/Ron DeSantis overhauled New College and made it "the most financially inefficient school in the university system" Degree yield is 19%, 2nd-worst in Fla. Operating funds per student at New College: $83,207 Same category at Univ of Florida: $45,765 www.heraldtribune.com/story/news/e...

NPR's data analysis shows that the DOJ has tended to fire judges with immigrant defense backgrounds in its recent rounds of dismissals. n.pr/47uKYeQ

Think of the quote in the photo below as you listen to this young man.

The Trump administration is now literally *fighting* to deny food to 42 million people, more than a third of them children. Read that again. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...

Elon Musk is a mass murderer.

The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121. #epstein

Remember DNC, it doesn't matter who you run, Fox news will call them a socialist. You could endorse the corpse of Ronald Reagan and their first segment would be "Extreme socialist Reagan picked by Soros to destroy America" Stop caring what fox news says, and listen to your base. It clearly works.

Republican politicians can commit all the crimes they want and victimize as many people as they want because right after they are convicted Trump pardons every single one of them. Every Republican politician is above the law and can do whatever they want. Total immunity.

🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

For the Netroots community, for everyone who knew @arjunjaikumar.bsky.social when he was a guy posting on DailyKos and SSP as "brownsox" who loved writing about elections, today is a joyous day as he's been elected to the Cambridge School Board with the strong backing of the local teachers' union.

CHICAGO — U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis said Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino admitted to lying about whether a rock hit him before he used tear gas on Chicagoans in Little Village last month. @wttw.bsky.social #Chicago #ICE @brendannyhan.bsky.social news.wttw.com/2025/11/06/f...

Ladies and gentlemen, start your pastrami slicers!

Darden/Red Lobster will tell you selling your own buildings to become a tenant is the beginning of the end.

It's absolutely WILD how routinely self-avowed superfans of hard science and modern technology IMMEDIATELY default to magical thinking, and don't consider that a red flag at all. "Excited to see what CHatGPT thinks about-" IT DOESN'T THINK!!! It's not a mind!

The whole idea that there’s an official government website, that people must visit to get access to discounted drugs, that’s named “trump.rx” is sickening.

By this time next week, the estimated deaths due to the illegal destruction of USAID and the shuttering of its aid efforts will breach 400,000. More than 260,000 will be children. Source: www.bu.edu/sph/news/art...

57% of all ad spending by Republicans in the Virginia governors race was on anti trans ads. Just an incredibly mismanaged campaign. Anti-trans politics are a losing issue.

Was just gushing to someone that one of the absolutely best short stories I’ve read came from @karawynn.bsky.social. If you haven’t read her stuff, do so.

Raids inside day cares had been off limits until this year, when, on his first day in office, President Donald Trump removed that protection. The arrest reportedly took place in front of children. 19thnews.org/2025/11/chil...

Attention DNC: Your 2026 campaign ad is ready.

ICE-loving sheriff loses his election in Bucks County, PA, to a young progressive candidate. Apparently, people really don't like it when their neighbors get kidnapped and disappear. buckscountybeacon.com/2025/11/buck...

“The FIFA Peace Award?” Just put it in terms everyone will understand: Donald Trump Wins the World Cup of Corruption

What's happening in TX-18 is more obscene than not seating Grijalva during pro formas. Turner died in March. Abbott delayed the special election until yesterday, and now it goes to a runoff early *next year.* Congress can and should require special elections to be held within 90 days of a vacancy.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

If it can happen in Mississippi, it can happen in Missouri.

People are already ignoring the most important thing.

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

It’s the rule.

The solution to the male loneliness epidemic is attending a local Democratic Party canvassing event.

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC. It didn't matter. Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

Can we all just agree right now that no one will ever again waste one second worrying about what Ross Douthat thinks?

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

Politicians should probably get on Bluesky to get better in touch with the American electorate.

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

I can’t believe they called prop 50 the moment polls closed. That tells you something. Most of these races were called within 45 minutes. It’s a BLOWOUT, y’all. THAT is what we call a MANDATE.

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger. Gen Z women aren't playing around.

Trump is hanging these losses on Mike Johnson. Johnson will either completely agree, or claim he’s never heard of Mike Johnson.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed. The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

Please, Republicans. Keep telling Donald Trump his numbers are the “best ever” and keep doing exactly what he says rather than what people want. It’s working out great for you.

Looking forward to tomorrow’s interview in which Mike Johnson explains that he’s never heard of New York.

Every single county in Virginia shifted Blue.
