Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.

Whenever some sanctimonious Dem announces that America needs a functioning Republican Party, I always think “I’d settle for a functioning Democratic Party.”

How do we stop the rise of autocracy? In the latest episode of Politics In Question, host & New America Senior Fellow @leedrutman.bsky.social is joined by @staceyabrams.com to explore what it takes to build a resilient democracy in today’s political climate. 🎧 Listen now: https://apple.co/4qRq9lm

Each new statement is dumber than the last.

It is fucking insane to me that senate democrats bailed him out

“We’ll see.” We’re supposed to accept that Democratic leadership allowed this caliber of strategist to negotiate a deal with the most diabolical, mendacious group of politicians in American government.

My question for the caving 8 and their enablers: is anyone thanking you for your vote, besides Republicans?

I saw the Washington Post editorial on redistricting today and this is my official response.

but I think folks in blue states or mostly purple states need to start listening to the voting orgs on the ground in super red states IMMEDIATELY because voting activists down here have been dealing with cheating since... well I mean they've never NOT been dealing with (racist) cheating.

Elon Musk, an uncharismatic swindler, says Zohran Mamdani is a charismatic swindler.

🚨BREAKING: The North Carolina election board on Thursday announced a raft of new hires with backgrounds in Republican politics — the latest sign of the GOP’s partisan takeover of the board as it prepares for next year’s election. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

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"

Has New York Democratic Party chairman Jay Jacobs resigned over Mamdani yet? I hope he hasn't, so that he can instead resign over *improving Republican margins over Trump 2024 in an anti-Republican wave election*. Trump won Nassau by just 4%—now look at this bloodbath

Sean Dunn, aka DC Sandwich Guy, speaks outside court after his not guilty verdict: “I am so happy that justice prevails in spite of everything…. “That night I believe I was protecting the rights of immigrants… Every life matters, no matter where you came from, no matter how you got here…”

Morning. ☕ ICYMI: Don't sleep on all the down-ballot victories that Democrats just pulled off. They're not as sexy as governor's races or the NYC mayor's race, but they matter -- and they were some of the most astounding wins of Tuesday night. www.huffpost.com/entry/democr...

From the top rope

Fair Fight is proud to congratulate our endorsed candidates for stepping up to run for office – and a special congratulations to those who won their races! 🎉 Thank you for standing with us in the fight for free, fair, and accessible elections for all. 💜

There, my friends, is an urban-suburban-rural, multiracial coalition.

"Trump canceled your flight" is about as easy as messaging gets.

This Election Day was a resounding affirmation of coalition and courage. Read my reflections: bit.ly/3WCuVVZ

The “Home Goods” White House: @governor.ca.gov

This is news to me, a Jew who doesn't feel like I have lost anything because of Zohran's victory. My goodness. Imagine showing everyone how much your brain is just absolutely pickled in fear and bigotry.

This result is siesmic: first statewide non-federal wins in 20 years!!!!! Just amazing 🎉

i’d also say that the GOP’s obsession with this gives candidates an opportunity to articulate and stand up for their values. “i refuse to make anyone feel like they don’t belong in my [state/city/community]. and i want everyone to live the best life they can achieve [insert policy slogan]”

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history. Now let’s get to work. transition2025.com

We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

"The results, then, are a marked contrast to the accommodation, capitulation and outright surrender of prominent individuals and institutions in the face of Trump’s demands." YES! Thanks @jamellebouie.net (gift link 🎁) www.nytimes.com/2025/11/05/o...

And good morning to Mississippi Democrats! They BROKE the Republican Supermajority in the State Senate 🤯 A reminder why you don’t throw the towel in on organizing in the Southern states. We are worth investing in, even if it yields small gains

UPDATE: Dems lead every city council race in Aurora, Colorado - and could flip a 7-3 GOP majority into a 6-4 Dem edge - including what would be a shocking upset of MAGA media star Danielle Jurinsky, whose claims of a "complete gang takeover" led Trump to call Aurora "conquered." #copolitics

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

BREAKING: Democrats just broke the GOP supermajority in the Mississippi Senate! In a stunning victory, Democrats gained seats in court-ordered special elections and will now head to Jackson to represent and fight on behalf of their constituents.

Savor this moment, friends. They couldn’t buy their way to a win. They couldn’t racist their way to a win. There are more of us than them, and we fucking beat them. And we can keep beating them.

Georgia had a very unsexy Public Service Commission race with 2 Dems running against R incumbents. D’s hadn’t won in 25 years - until tonight. If we can do it, the country can. Fight back. @peterhubbardga.bsky.social #AliciaJohnson 💙🍑

AOC: "This is about, do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And they assignment is to come together across difference no matter what."

BREAKING: Democrat Johnny DuPree has flipped a Republican-held Mississippi Senate district in a special election. DuPree was previously the mayor of Hattiesburg. His win imperils the Mississippi Senate GOP's narrow supermajority. www.mississippifreepress.org/democrat-joh...

Every talking head is going to try to sell you the idea that @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's win was a fluke. But working people are sending a message: they WANT a politics that prioritizes them, not the billionaires.

BREAKING: Maine voters reject a sweeping Republican-backed anti-voting ballot measure that would have created a new photo ID requirement for voting, eliminated programs that expanded access to absentee ballots, ended the state’s permanent absentee voter list and more. Story to come.

CONFIRMED: Georgia Democrats have won their first statewide elections for non-federal offices since *2006.* The two Dem challengers, Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard, have ousted two GOP Republican commissioners on the state's utility commission.

Republicans who think your seat is safe: no it's not

Big news from Georgia: Dr. Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard have been elected to the Public Service Commission! They said what Georgians are all thinking - “the power bills are too high!” We’re thrilled they’ll be working for Georgians and supporting affordable, clean energy.
