NEW: Senate votes to display Jan. 6 plaque after House GOP refuses to hang it at Capitol www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Here is the fundraiser for Renee Good’s wife and son, from a very trusted source.

This is the only correct position, and the inevitable response from knee-jerk centrist reactionaries of "it won't work" is not a valid objection. Every member of Congress has a duty to say that what Noem has been doing is not acceptable.

For months, Trump’s DHS has wreaked lawless havoc in our neighborhoods. Tear gassing infants, families, and police. Firing their weapons at peaceful citizens. Killing innocent people. It’s brutal, unconstitutional, and out of control. It must stop. Kristi Noem must go. Now.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

ICE orphaned a five year old today

Some really great work from NPR and @tomdreisbach.bsky.social here: apps.npr.org/jan-6-archive/

The official plaque is not on display at the Capitol, as is required by law. Its whereabouts aren't publicly known, though it's believed to be in storage. https://to.pbs.org/49cNpC4

And the final-for-now MAP of 1,581 #Jan6 criminal defendants per 1M pop. by US House Districts as of Jan. 2021 (117th Congress), with then-House "Freedom Caucus" (HFC) member districts and rate of J6ers per 1M noted (7.49 per 1M in HFC districts vs. 4.77 per 1M for USA).

I will never forget this tragedy for the Wilson family and the J6er responsible for the fatal crash...

"No stroke of a pen and no proclamation can alter the facts of what took place on January 6... When others in the public eye are not willing to risk their own power or popularity by calling out lies when they hear them, the records in this courthouse will be available to those who seek the truth."

I've confirmed that San Francisco, Bridgeport, Baltimore, Chicago and Philadelphia hit the lowest levels since before 1970 this year. New Orleans tied 2019 for the lowest since 1970. Still waiting on data from the other cities but likely to check out.

Fewest murders in Chicago since...*1965* "The number of murders in Chicago decreased from 587 in 2024 to 416 last year, a nearly 30% drop...shootings had fallen 35% from 2024, robberies were down 36% and aggravated batteries had dipped 11%, police data shows."

WHOA. "We estimate that from the mid-2000s to 2022, exposure to the opioid epidemic continuously increased the Republican vote share in House, presidential, and gubernatorial elections." This is absolutely nuts. #politics #news

This is the best pundit analysis you’ll find of the Democrats’ situation in 2025. Happy New Year! No more McClellans in 2026!

30 Point Democratic Overperformance I expect a lot of Republican retirements in January & February.

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

Thread on important new work in Demography. Local law enforcement cooperation with ICE increases Latino/white segregation. (I'm editorializing but there's good evidence that was the point of cooperation).

🧵on our newest paper in Demography on mass deportation and Latino segregation

"...restrictive policies toward immigrants shape residential patterns not only by facilitating deportations but also by increasing economic vulnerability, inciting fear and anxiety, and eroding trust between Latinos and other groups." Policies that divide communities literally divide communities.

NEW AT DEMOGRAPHY: We use difference-in-difference approach using applicant vs. implemented counties w/ 287(g) ICE agreements 2000-2020 to identify a plausibly causal effect immigration enforcement leading to sizeable increase in Latino-White segregation. OPEN ACCESS PDF doi.org/10.1215/0070...

Trump is weak.

Good on Indiana! bsky.app/profile/meid...

BREAKING: In a powerful reproach to Trump, the Indiana Senate votes against advancing the state’s GOP-led congressional gerrymander that would have handed Republicans both of Indiana’s blue districts.

BREAKING: Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been released.

🚨Judge Xinis finds that, incredibly, Mr. Abrego Garcia was never ordered deported in 2019. She notes that every since this saga began all the way back in March, the government has NEVER been able to produce any evidence that the immigration judge actually issued a removal order.

The Indiana GOP's new congressional gerrymander failed by a vote of 31-19. 21 Republicans joined the 10 Democrats in voting no.

Avg swing in specials to Congress is 17 pts left since 2024. But bc they've been so low-turnout, the data b4 last night suggested a 100% turnout (relative to the past midterm) special would have swung closer to 6-7 points. So TN-7 (13 pts) is updating priors about the share of swing that's turnout

Before tonight, the average Dem overperformance in special elections was 13 points. Aftyn Behn matched that figure almost exactly. If anything remotely like this holds next year, GOP hopes of holding the House will be very slim. Track all these races with our special election Big Board →→→

59 special elections 49 Dem over-performances 27 of 28 Repub-held districts were Dem over-performances 6 R=>D flips 0 D=>R flips 0 D under-performance by>7 36 R under-performance by>7

What was once a long-shot bid to flip a R+22 district in TN has turned into a tight race, with progressive Aftyn Behn, within two points of her GOP opponent, telling me that she can feel the "Republican eye of Sauron breathing down my neck." www.salon.com/2025/12/01/a...

So I’ve made it official folks: I’ve filed the paperwork to run for Governor of Alabama. It’s time to remind this state of who we are and what we can accomplish together. #DougForAlabama

🚨We analyzed 138 million geocoded property tax records to quantify how municipal boundaries spatially overlap onto economic segregation in every US metro area—creating disparities in localities’ ability to fund public goods. And we made an interactive map of our results! [1/16]

6/🧵 Why does conventional wisdom miss this? We confuse electoral swings with attitude changes. Gen Z shifted 6 points toward Trump in 2024, suddenly pundits say they're "the most conservative generation in 50 years." Only 42% of Gen Z voted. We mistake turnout shifts for ideological transformation.

Deportations actually _increase_ housing prices because they shrink the construction industry. The reduction in new houses being built swamps effects from lower demand

No one thought that Democrats would retake the Senate this time in 2005.

#Breaking Centrist Reform challenger candidate and west side resident Marsha Judkins has clinched the race for Mayor of Provo, 4th most populous city in Utah, after the final batch of votes were tabulated and reported.
