I got a notification of DM response from an old friend I haven’t spoken to in a while He’s since gotten married, so I’d messaged him to say congrats His message as shown in the notification : “TAAARAAAAAAA!!!!!” I waited till he was done sending messages and opened our chat

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

Morning stretches to start the day ☀️ #cats #catsky #catsofbluesky

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

something good has officially happened

Mamdani: My friends, we have toppled a political dynasty. I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life. But let tonight be the final time I utter his name.

GOP: “the voters gave Trump a clear mandate” Voters 11 months later: “fuck you”

A seeming bit of history tonight as Ghazala Hashmi becomes the first Asian American to win statewide office in Virginia - and the first Muslim woman to win statewide office *anywhere* in the United States.

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50. California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections. Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

Quite a world when a federal judge has to call in a federal official to specifically tell him he can't use tear gas on children in Halloween costumes

Specifically, USDA can deploy contingency funds and prevent a disruption of SNAP benefits on November 1.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

…

Hope people are realizing that rigging the 2026 and 2028 elections have always been the plan.

They Were So Afraid, They Erased the Words. Yesterday, I spoke truth about what happened in North Carolina. About democracy being stolen in broad daylight. About rigged maps and broken promises. About betraying every sacrifice ever made for the right to vote. Then something extraordinary happened.

I’ve been thinking about how hard the founding fathers cooked with the Third Amendment. Imagine being forced to house ICE. I can’t imagine they wash their hands. They’ve never done laundry in their lives. They’d break your stuff if you didn’t cut the crusts off their sandwiches.

The best thing about the NYC mayoral election will be electing a pro-affordability mayor. The second best thing will never having to hear Cuomo talk again after his concession speech ends.

Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."

SNAP benefits expire in one week.

Join us tomorrow, 10/23 to stand for fair maps!

Today at 1:00, join Repairers of the Breach to take the next steps in fighting for fair maps for NC communities. #ncpol #ncga #fairmaps #resist breachrepairers.org/get-involved...

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government. She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her. So I confronted him.

🚨BREAKING: North Carolina on Wednesday became the latest state to enact a gerrymandered congressional map at the request of President Donald Trump – a redraw designed to create an additional Republican seat in Congress, at the expense of Black voters. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

If North Carolina enacts this new map, it will be sued. I don't bluff and I usually win.

“.. It’s not his house. It’s your house. And he’s destroying it.” @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

A Bug’s Life (1998)

He needs to be treated like Hitler is treated by Germans. No names. No statues. No pictures in government buildings. No nothing. Give him absolutely fucking nothing.

First thing we do is rip his name off of every federal building anywhere it was placed. Straight into a dumpster.

I am now ready with a take: It is good when negative things about candidates come out before people vote rather than after they vote.

The person whose comments on the Floor today moved me to tears was @michaelgarrett.bsky.social So grateful for the recording. Thank you for your representation, Sen. Garrett. ❤️ #ncpol #nc #gerrymandering #ncgop youtu.be/r2bK5kmr1tM?...

A proposed new Congressional map continued to work through the General Assembly on Tuesday, even as dozens of Democrats took the chance to decry its impact on Black voters in northeastern North Carolina. www.wunc.org/politics/202...

NEWS: Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes and Rep.-Elect Adelita Grijalva have SUED the U.S. House of Representatives in federal court in Washington, D.C. over Speaker Mike Johnson’s refusal to swear in Grijalva. Grijalva would be the 218th vote for the Epstein Files discharge petition.

🚨BREAKING: A federal appeals court Monday all but cleared the way for President Donald Trump to deploy National Guard troops into Portland, Oregon. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Raskin: "Speaker Johnson described the exercise of 1st Amendment rights across the country by 6 or 7 millions Americans as part of No Kings as a 'Hate America Rally.' The Hate America Rally happened on January 6 ... there were more than 140 police officers who were wounded."

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.   During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

This means we have to do it again. Soon. And then frequently.

This is the first I’m hearing/seeing of this. Goddammit

🚨BREAKING: North Carolina became the latest GOP-controlled state to announce it will gerrymander its congressional map to please President Donald Trump. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

“That is such bullshit” @mizzwelch.bsky.social isn’t having it when @corybooker.com tries to blame Democratic failures to stand up to Trump (including his own vote for Kushner’s dad) on a “circular firing squad” Full @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social ep: youtu.be/HLfzsOVjlxc?...

The is literally nothing more American and patriotic than declaring: No Kings.

North Carolina GOP Plans to Rig US House Map for Trump #ncpol #ncga www.commondreams.org/news/north-c...

I gotta admit… a month-long break from social media was the greatest decision ever. 10/10. Highly recommend.

@thebulwark.com the new guy — @jackcocchiarella.bsky.social — is phenomenal. Great takes. Well-spoken. He’s also a beautiful human so that’s always a bonus. Very attractive guy 😂 I also appreciate the weekend content. Take care of yourselves! 💕💕💕

Maybe putting a podcaster and a Mar-a-Lago groupie in charge of the FBI wasn’t the best plan.
