Even after Tuesday, there’s a movement afoot in Ohio to encourage a last-minute primary against @amyactonoh.bsky.social — who is tied or ahead of Vivek in the polls and has the highest job approval rating in Ohio — under the whispered notion that a woman can’t win. Read the room. Then read this:

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Sick.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

More about the exquisitely nefarious Gregory Bovino. Judges and Congress must stop him specifically.

Oh. So this *isn’t* about America First?

I just feel it necessary to explain that if this one line were true, what he’s saying is American consumers are paying a tax out of their own pockets to keep the global economy from collapsing.

Yes! Pack and crack the white voters in the name of political considerations and see if SCOTUS cares about race then.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

They LITERALLY campaigned on making children go hungry as a political statement and they can't figure out why they lost.

It worked so well last night.

Awesome!🙌🏾

"'They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,' [Mamdani] said in an interview with MSNBC last week." This is the message. Make it clear that these billionaires aren't just worried about losing money. They're worried about losing the ability to exchange their money for power.

Folks - let them think this. I’ve spent 25 years doing campaigns - when you think like this after a loss like last night, you are doomed to lose again.

Just the beginning. LFG

Mamdani: "Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up."

Mamdani: "We believe in standing up for those we love. Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many Black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job ... your struggle is ours too."

Democrats kicked ass last night. This is just the beginning.

Mike Johnson, probably: “what election? I’ve been extremely busy not releasing the Epstein files, I haven’t heard about any elections”

I just want to remind everyone that this is a statewide mandate, unencumbered by maps.

Trump: "Hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."

My god this is for real one of the most incredible speeches I’ve ever seen by an elected US politician: ‘And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is to dismantle the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power. This not only how we stop Trump, it’s how we stop the next one.’

None of what Trump is doing is popular and voters are telling us that

The irony is that a century ago, the exact same kind of religious bigotry that Cuomo’s embraced down the stretch — we can’t elect someone from that faith or they’ll impose it on all of us! — was aimed squarely at Catholics like Cuomo.

Someone who had been threatening to kill Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) was arrested today after trying to enter the Capitol complex after telling Garcia's office he was coming to kill him.

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans. Nero would be proud.

Literally Trump and his DOJ set free January 6 defendants who beat policemen and tried to overturn the election, while this case is being adjudicated

Americans are sick and tired of the disastrous policies of the Trump administration. With elections happening across the country, it’s time to send a message to Republicans.

Trump confirms he is weaponizing hunger

This is how politicians talk when they don’t have a plan.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

The tear gas will continue until morale improves

This is a really good thread.

Kash Patel in 2023: “I’m just saying Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

This is some disturbing ICE Gestapo footage. They point guns at citizens and threaten to shoot them. They punch a guy in the back of the head repeatedly when he’s down and already subdued, then later slam his head into the side of their vehicle. This took place on 10/31/2025 in Evanston, IL.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

someone invited people magazine to the kitchen and they brought their own knives

JFC! Kids are losing meals, parents are losing sleep, and Trump’s flexing about marble and mirrors.

This is just plain wrong, yet Jon Husted is actively voting to make it happen.

The shutdown is ultimately a legislative negotiation about a budget. Hard to resolve it when the controlling party in one part of Congress refuses to negotiate, will not re-open the House, is not in DC.

Canada says “elbows up.” I say for America, “cameras out.” Film every last one of these brutal criminals. We will need the evidence for their trials.

This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism. The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

A lot is happening right now. Make a note to yourself to remember, heading into the midterm elections in a year, that GOP senators & reps asking you to vote for them were willing to starve their constituents—your friends, family, maybe even you—for Trump.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
