How you can tell the shutdown is getting to Trump now

We're at the point in the government shutdown where the entire Democratic congressional delegation from Colorado is urging the FAA to please let their state's biggest airport use its own funds to pay air traffic controllers.

This goes so far beyond creepy. “‘Rest easy, king,’ read the final message sent to his phone. ‘You did good.’”

Elizabeth Warren tells me the clear message from Democrats' sweep in Tuesday's elections is that people want affordability and for Dems to fight for that -- not fold in, say, a high-stakes fight to extend soon-to-expire health care subsidies for millions of people. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

The story is that Trump made up stuff to try to take credit for falling food prices at Walmart, but also, this image our team made 😂 www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

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...

New: The most significant part of Tuesday's results may be the Latino vote shift -Cements Latinos as the key swing voters of the '20s -4 highest % Latino counties in VA saw biggest shifts to Spanberger www.huffpost.com/entry/desper...

holy shit -- one of Trump's toadies just passed out and the White House event is brought to an abrupt end

For the first time in Bucks County PA history, Dems won both the District Attorney and Sheriff offices, and will hold all nine row offices and the board of county commissioners The ousted longtime Republican Sheriff Fred Harran drew fire from voters for his willingness to work with ICE.

My little CT town didn't just flip, Ds decimated Rs. Long serving Rs were booted from their seats. It wasn't even close.

The shift in Connecticut tonight is seismic. Possibly unprecedented. Loads of towns flipped from Republican to Democratic control. A partial list: Ansonia Bethany Branford Bristol Brooklyn East Granby Ellington Enfield Farmington Milford New Britain New Fairfield Norwich Plymouth Rocky Hill

Everyone read this to understand the scope of Dem wins. It was everywhere, from hyperlocal elections all the way up to 2 gov seats and a state wide proposition.

Great thread. Spoiler: Moms of Liberty lost.

Holy crap. MAGA diehard Danielle Jurinsky lost her city council seat in Aurora, Colorado. She more than anyone is responsible for ginning up the false claim that Tren de Aragua had "taken over" the city. She also repeatedly tried to dissolve the city's groundbreaking public defender office.

Democrats chalked up massive wins on Tuesday night in governor's races, with the CA ballot initiative, in the NYC mayor's race -- but some of their most astounding victories played out down lower on ballots www.huffpost.com/entry/democr...

On a call with reporters, DNC chair Ken Martin responds to JD Vance claiming Dems only won big last night because races were in blue states. "Well that's bullshit. We won in red counties, blue counties, purple counties," Martin says. And it was all "a rejection of Trump."

Fresh off of big wins last night, Schumer and Jeffries demand a bipartisan meeting with Trump to end the shutdown

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

Georgia Democrats had not won a statewide race that wasn't for a federal office since 2006. They won two races tonight, both against GOP incumbents. The margins? 62% to 38% in both.

A few days after the presidential election one year ago, we went to Fordham Road in the Bronx. It was a little different last week.

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

really obvious now why trump and the republican party have been working so hard to prevent fair elections lol they know

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...

He is proposing five municipal grocery stores

this result sticks out as deserving more attention!

AND Dick Cheney died.

California voters fired the first return shot from Democrats in a mid-decade congressional redistricting push by Trump, passing a ballot measure Tuesday that will enable the state legislature to redraw congressional districts before the 2026 elections. www.huffpost.com/entry/califo...

Mamdani cracks 1M votes, the first NYC mayor to do so since John Lindsay in 1969

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

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.

Populist Dems won. Moderate Dems won. We won in blue states. We won in purple states. Maybe the take is that (a) people think Trump is out of control; and (b) people like Dems when we're taking a stand and fighting for what we believe in - as we have been for the last month.

Trump's first response to Dems' big sweep tonight:

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.

Mamdani wins www.huffpost.com/entry/zohran...

So far, Dems cleaning up tonight. Chuck Schumer already calling tonight's results "a repudiation of the Trump agenda." "The cruelty, chaos, and greed that define MAGA radicalism and are skyrocketing costs were firmly rejected by the American people."

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.

My dad knew Cheney since he was fords chief of staff and would always say “i liked him then. Idk what the hell happened” In the run up to the second Iraq war my dad wrote an article comparing it to the gulf of Tonkin and Cheney himself made sure my father was fired from his gov job Anyway he’s dead
