On February 21, a trial was held in Superior Court in and for the County of Los Angeles. The Reverend Jonathan Whirley was found guilty on two counts of attempted murder, kidnapping, arson, obstruction of justice, and tampering with public utilities.

One of the most satisfying phrases to say in the English language...

Seattle now has a Mayor-elect, and they chose the right person. Congratulations!

From SNL's classic Last Days Of Richard Nixon skit ...

Yes, it's been quite a news week so far.

My vote: @chrismurphyct.bsky.social for Senate (Democratic) Minority Leader!!!!!

🎀🎀 youtu.be/jj7Dwu2BukI?...

NEW: “Around 80% of MoveOn members that the group surveyed said that Schumer should quit his leadership position.” www.axios.com/2025/11/10/s...

🎀🎀

Dems calling for Schumer to be replaced: - Ro Khanna - Mike Levin - Seth Moulton - Marc Pocan - Delia Ramirez - Rashida Tlaib

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult. A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates. When will party leadership learn this lesson?

I have an inferiority complex, but it isn't a very good one.

Notes on the town of Boring, Oregon...

If Chuck Schumer was a stronger leader, he would have been able to convince most of these senators to hold the line. I’m terribly disappointed in him.

Tonight was a very bad night.

I stand with @sanders.senate.gov. This is not about politics, but about real people. It's not about securing a vote for show, but preventing premium hikes for Americans who are scared of what that will mean for them.

A federal judge has permanently barred the Trump Administration from deploying National Guard troops to Portland, following a long back-and-forth battle. Oregon leaders are celebrating the decision, but DOJ lawyers are already discussing an appeal.

Maybe it's a little early for Christmas music, but I love this song.

Some of their bodily organs are worth quite a bit on the open market.

So I was thinking about Darth Cheney's death, and this great song popped into my head.

Thank you, Minneapolis! While this wasn’t the outcome we wanted, I am incredibly grateful to every single person who supported our grassroots campaign. I’ll keep fighting alongside you to build the city we deserve. Onward.

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.

No decision on the Seattle Mayor's Race yet.

This is disappointing, but at least last night brought all sorts of good news.

After Zohran’s win, if Dems reorient their party back to New Deal-style populism and genuinely combat the corporations and billionaires ruining everyone’s lives, then this moment of discontent across the country could have staying power — and be a positive force.

Surprise upset here in Saint Paul. It could be a good thing.

Today was so fun I ain't going to sleep till 6 in the morning.

I'm really in the mood right now to watch Dana Carvey do impressions of prominent political figures. He's so good at it.

Americans are speaking up — loudly and clearly. The sleeping giant of America is up and roaring. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-sleeping-giant-awakens

First round goes to Frey, but will the second?

Seems so!

With 98% of the vote in, it's clear this is going to ranked choice voting:

Zohran Mamdani has won over 1 million votes. That's more than any NYC Mayoral candidate since 1969. When candidates run grassroots campaigns and push a popular, working class agenda, the people turn out.

Current state of Minneapolis Mayor's Race as of 9:26 pm. Still a lot of votes to count. Since there's ranked choice voting, Fateh can win this. I highly doubt we'll know the victor tonight.

You just don't mess with the Zohran! Congratulations!

Still a classic! youtu.be/wvymC4siBoE?...

This old skit speaks for itself.
