Katie Wilson is leading in the Seattle mayor's race!

LFG! He’ll immediately be one of the best members of Congress, if not the best. New York City friends, please get plugged in and do what you can for his campaign!

The people demand more shutdown time! (From yougov)

I've said it before, and I will say it again. We need courageous leaders that put working families at the center of all they do. 8 democrats caving to empty promises is an indefensible leadership failure For the sake of our country, Schumer needs to resign.

Hey Seattle friends, take a minute to click this link & make sure your vote got counted! The mayoral election is gonna be CLOSE, like possibly a-few-dozen-votes close

Now is a great time to call Schumer and demand he resign from BOTH minority leader and his senate seat. Schumer has proven that he is not capable of doing his job. Time to make way for someone else who can. ☎️: (202) 224-6542

When my cartoons become reality. #chicago

I feel like we're in a weird world where the average Dem partisan, engaged voter is better informed than most of their representatives

Schumer rightfully getting a lot of flack. But Durbin should be getting just as much flack. He's the Senate whip. His job is to whip votes to hold the line. Yet he just voted to cave to Trump and allow healthcare premiums to skyrocket. Both need to step down from leadership.

A leader would not have lost eight colleagues tonight. This happened because you let it happen or because you’ve totally lost control of the caucus in one of the most important moments since you’ve been Democratic leader. Either way, it’s on you. You need to step down. We need someone who can lead.

None of them deserve to see another quiet moment in public. Shout them down wherever they go.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Always relevant

Republicans when they’re losing: We’re winning! 💪😈 Democrats when they’re winning: We’re losing! 😫🏳️

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Matthew Macfadyen is so good in Death by Lightning, I’m totally locked in.

Idk if the reporting re: Senate Dems is accurate, but I hope they know that if they accept the mere promise of a deal, the deal makes headlines and the govt reopens, but then Rs pull something to tank the deal and premiums still skyrocket, who knows where the popular narrative will go. (1/2)

Much as I love the North Branch trail (and its relative accessibility), nothing beats biking the Des Plaines River trails I grew up riding on the northwest side

NEW: @govpritzker.illinois.gov's office says 3 masked ICE agents stopped & questioned an IL Department of Transportation employee working in Park Ridge about his immigration status & whether he had traveled to New York and his awareness of NYC Mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social before leaving.

1/2 ICE/CPB thugs tackled a nonverbal autistic man outside a Family Dollar in Chicago’s Little Village claiming he was “noncompliant.” Witnesses begged them to stop. “Why they beating up this special boy?” one worker cried. “He comes in every day for a treat. He has the mind of a child.” 🤬🤬🤬

What kind of pasta does the mafia eat while fixing the Broadway awards?

ICE grabs father by the neck—send him into violent seizure while his arms lock up around his toddler. "He's having seizure and they're trying to rip the baby out of his hands!" Agents then handcuff him—before putting in ambulance with his child. Mother is detained by agents as target of arrest.

I really disagree with this framing. The state didn’t “bail out” CTA like some kind of overextended private enterprise. They corrected a long-standing deficit of financial support for a vital public service. Fran’s whole interview on her podcast with Leerhsen was like this, and it really irked me.

Thread about the horrors in Chicago:

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

He can’t even fucking speak without slurring and drooling and he’s threatening war with Nigeria, a country of 233 million people. When will it end?!

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning. This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

Chicago’s showing off

remember all those hot takes during the primary about how Mamdani was the candidate for rich white liberals? a "champagne socialist" ? yeah, about that

@ramirez.house.gov says that ICE agents went room to room inside the daycare, looking for teachers to take in front of literal toddlers

If you are so incompetent as a politician that you can't figure out how to tell a story that includes a guy who just won 18-29yo men by Forty Fucking Points because he's a teensy bit to your left, you have no business running in a Dem primary at any level, from town dogcatcher to el presidente.

My god this is for real one of the most incredible speeches I’ve ever seen by an elected US politician: ‘And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is to dismantle the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power. This not only how we stop Trump, it’s how we stop the next one.’
