HUGE: Nearly 3000 people have signed up with @runforsomething.net to run for office since Tuesday night. runforwhat.net

Please say we’re finally learning our lesson from running Biden again in 2024 Time to hand the torches over to the next generation. As Tuesday proved

NEW: Keep an eye on Steny Hoyer, sources tell @axios.com The 86-year-old former House majority leader “will” retire, one senior House Democrat predicted. Another lawmaker said he “has been looking for a replacement” to endorse for his seat. More here: www.axios.com/2025/11/07/n...

Heads up to my #Minnesota, #Wisconsin and people in other surrounding states as the wind chill forecasts Sunday morning through Monday evening looks pretty brutal for early to mid November. You will need an extra layer and bundles if you’re going out. #mnwx #wiwx #ndwx #sdwx #iawx #newx

The next generation of Democrats are no longer waiting for their turn to run. They are already here

Free and fair elections are good for business. Having a stable rule of law is important to the economy. Not having people afraid to go to work because they might be beaten up or disappeared is essential to a productive workforce. Democracy is essential for a strong economy.

Want to discuss my current thinking for how I believe the weather pattern across the CONUS unfolds the next couple weeks. Thread #weather #usweather #uswx

Following Hurricane Melissa's devastation, Jamaica’s decade-long effort to build financial resilience will be tested. Its $150 million catastrophe bond, triggered by a storm’s low pressure and path, will provide quick relief. Jamaica’s model may serve as a guide for other climate-vulnerable nations.

Not since 1935 has anyone experienced a storm like Melissa. Melissa's record wouldn't have happened without climate change, which made the hurricane's winds about 10 mph stronger, according to a rapid attribution analysis by Climate Central. yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/10/cata...

Unreal

From a crewmember on yesterday's Teal 74 mission into now-Category 5 Hurricane #Melissa. As clear of an eye as you will see in the Atlantic basin.

The newest Dropsonde is absolute mind boggling, and might be the craziest Dropsonde I have ever seen in a hurricane. We have sustained winds of 163kts recorded at the sfc but not even 10mb off the surface, there are almost 200kts of winds. Even if we count this as a gust, that is ultra impressive

Something to watch out for over the next day is precisely where Melissa makes the turn to the north, as do far it continues to drift west or just south of west. The longer this continues, the farther west its landfall location shifts in Jamaica.

Hurricane #Melissa has rapidly intensified into a Category 5 hurricane with peak winds this morning reaching as high as 165mph. Absolute textbook IR and WV imagery showing a very circular clear eye with intense thunderstorm activity all the way around the core and clear UL outflow channels to the N.

Tropical Storm #Melissa appears to be the process of beginning significant to rapid intensification as the wind shear that has been keeping the storm in check begins to back off. Overall the CDO structure is much better and the UL outflow is looking much healthier now #weather #tropicalwx

This looks like it might be the last hurricane we get for this season and we might out with an absolute bang. Jamaica/Cuba/Hispaniola needs to be watching this closely. Increasing chance of a very powerful impact

About damn time

Interesting conversation with a NY Assemblyman tonight. I asked about the likelihood of NY redistricting for 2028. He indicated that the appetite for such a move might be influenced by the success of CA’s referendum. So…a big Prop 50 win may very well act as a catalyst for other blue states.

Tomorrow the Supreme Court will hear arguments in the most important redistricting and voting rights case of the term. Democracy Docket isn't just covering it for the day. It has been covering this case for years. Support its vital work to help keep you informed. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

*Spread* not speed

The Storm Prediction Center has gone ahead and added a 15% probability area for Saturday on tonight’s D4-8 outlook for Saturday October 18th. All severe risks will be possible #arwx #mowx #ilwx #kywx #tnwx #mswx #txwx #okwx

[Thread] Following along with the NE US weekend forecast & wondering why models are all over the place with the nor'easter? Here's a good place to start: notice how a potent cutoff low in the 12z ECMWF is completely missing in the following 18z ECMWF run - only 96 hours out!

We have #Jerry today in the MDR. There is some shear affecting it, pushing the LLC towards the western end of most of the convection despite an upper anticyclone. It turns out the fast easterly flow near the surface is canceling this out.

Judge Chris Taylor is an experienced judge with a commitment to ensuring everyone gets a fair shot in our judicial system. Her principled leadership has always protected our rights and freedoms. We're proud to endorse Judge Taylor for Wisconsin State Supreme Court.

BOOM 🔥: Judge Immergut issues a second Temporary Restraining Order prohibiting the relocation, federalization, or deployment of ANY NATIONAL GUARD FROM ANY STATE into the state of Oregon.

#MESen: Graham Platner (D): $3.2 million raised (in six weeks)

#TXSEN James Talarico (D): $6.2 million raised (in three weeks)

Invest #94AL forecast is a mess! Models split between US landfall or out to sea. Hurricane #Humberto's outflow and altered steering flow will either help push 94AL northwest into the Southeast coast, or pull it out to the Atlantic at the last minute. FL to Carolinas: continue watch this closely.

There is increasing confidence that #94L and soon to be #Imelda could bring direct impacts to portions of the Carolinas early next week. However key uncertainties still exist as well. Let’s discuss 🧵 #ncwx #scwx #hurricane

Highly recommend Democracy Docket

Hell yes they will

State Rep. @zackstephenson.bsky.social will provide steady leadership for the caucus as House DFL Leader. As we honor the service and legacy of Melissa Hortman, Minnesotans can be confident he will continue fighting for the progressive values that unite us and move our state forward.

🚨 Milestone: Since Trump was elected in November , more people signed up with Run for Something to run for office than in ALL of Trump’s first 4 years. 67K new sign-ups → 230K+ future leaders. The next generation isn’t waiting. Run for office.

Asked if he'd vote for Chuck Schumer to remain Democratic Leader, Graham Palmer replies: "No." "We need leaders that have vision and, frankly, the ability to fight. The things that I've seen recently don't show me a Democratic leadership that has that."

The legacy media won't admit it, but no one is providing more complete coverage of the attacks on democracy than the 20 person team at Democracy Docket. Help support their vital efforts by becoming a subscriber or premium member today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Visible satellite imagery from today is showing our nice fall cold front digging down into the eastern portion of the US, as a big upper lvl trough dives down over our big western US/Canada trough. This will continue to bring much cooler conditions and a nice early taste of fall into mid week
