“.. in a group Signal chat, .. he wrote in part: ‘I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.’” @reuters.com #Chicago www.reuters.com/world/us/bor...

This!

Trump’s argument that he’s making groceries, gas and other ordinary household necessities easier to afford has failed to take hold, an exit survey of voters suggests.

Way to go, Jimmy!

When did he learn to spell affordability?

Not surprised

“New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and, as of tonight, led by an immigrant,” Mamdani said. “So hear me, President Trump, when I say this: To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.”

Dems: Last night was great. Keep pushing and don’t get cocky. And DO NOT CAVE ON THE SHUT DOWN!

If you don’t know Lina Khan, now is a great time to know about her. She’s now on Zohran Mamdani’s transition team. She’s also the former FTC Chair, only 36, & committed to leveling the playing field for everyday Americans. She is an absolute star. This is what hope feels like.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Zohran Mamdani ran on freezing the rent in NYC. Abigail Spanberger ran on supporting fired federal workers and lowering the cost of living in VA. Mikie Sherrill ran on lowering utility bills in NJ. Ensuring people can afford to live a decent life is the path forward.

Do not give in. Do not give up. We're in this for the long haul. And we will win.

All the pearl-clutching about Zohran Mamdani--by right-wingers who elected a half-senile old TV star president--is very amusing. For once the shoe is on the other foot.

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.

If you fought for the baby to be born, but you WON'T fight for it to be fed, your arguments are invalid.

Don't become complacent. Don't think your job is done. Celebrate today but tomorrow get back to work. November 2026 elections will be here before you know it. We have a lot more work to do.

Virginia and New Jersey have spoken 💙

If anyone needed another reminder of how deeply unpopular the trump-MAGA Republican agenda is, tonight was the night. But we cannot relent and we cannot become complacent. The midterms are right around the corner. Robert Reich

In the race to be mayor of Cincinnati, Aftab Pureval (D) has defeated Cory Bowman (R), who is the half-brother of JD Vance, whose name may not be recognizable because JD Vance changed his name almost as often as he changed his political views.

Texas has a special election for Sylvester Turner's seat (TX-18), a full seven months after he died, because Abbott capriciously delayed it. A simple, long overdue reform would be for Congress to mandate by federal law how soon after a vacancy special elections have to happen.

Let's do some math. Amazon: Front-line warehouse workers earn ~$18–$20/hr. CEO Andy Jassy earned roughly $40+ million last year. UPS: Loaders and unloaders earn ~$18–$22/hr. The CEO’s compensation? Around $24 million. Both companies have announced major workforce reductions.

Release the trumpstein files!

We're waiting

Detroit’s first woman mayor. Damn! About time! And she’s a dem. Go Detroit!

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us: “The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

Maryland Governor Wes Moore has announced that $62 Million will be released to ensure full November SNAP benefits for the people of his state. That’s the kind of leadership I want to see. 💙👊

Truth

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.

A big THANK YOU to California voters!

If your government thinks the Pope “doesn’t know what he’s talking about” when he defends migrants’ dignity, the world should see the warning sign. The US is no longer leading on human rights. It’s suppressing them.

What we know, final edition of the night: [Now in 3 parts] —Prop 50 wins —VA Dems flip Gov, LG, AG —Dems gain leg seats in VA, NJ, & MS —Dems defend NJ-Gov —Dems win NJ+VA trifectas —Mamdani wins —PA Dems win state supreme court —ME anti-mail voting measure loses —GA Dems flip 2 statewide offices

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

Always remember this: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Really worth reading the entire 60 minutes interview transcript but admit this part got me laughing out loud.

The trump tariffs imposed and scheduled as of Nov. 1 will cost the average U.S. household $1,200, according to a new report from the Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan nonprofit focused on tax policy. In 2026, that figure will rise to $1,600.

Agree 💯

An American president was ordered to feed Americans. He's fighting it. Let that sink in. Then ask yourself what are you going to do about it.

SNAP spending increased between 2020 and 2023 because of the pandemic. Trump's statement is not only false but distracts from the fact he's breaking a court order to put millions of families at risk of going hungry as a political pawn.

If I can vote with the debilitating disease known as the Man Cold, you can vote too. Get out there and make your voices heard. No excuses!

Just voted! But I didn't get a sticker. I guess they were out.

Pretty please! 🙏🤞
