In the election for mayor of Cincinnati the Republicans put up JD Vance’s half-brother against incumbent Aftab Pureval. The Republicans got absolutely crushed — Pureval got more than 80% of the vote.

The Tea Party never reached the magnitude of No Kings. Yet it was covered as if it represented “real America,” just like MAGA today. Those are not empirical assessments, but articles of faith – ideological claims about the world that are widely shared in the American mainstream discourse.

The Trump shutdown is now officially the longest government shutdown in American history, with no end in sight.

If you have Republican representatives in Congress, let them know you're not impressed with the self-imposed vacation they're taking as Americans suffer. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Ihrer Weitsicht, ihrer durch nichts zu erschütternden Menschlichkeit und der Gabe ihre Gedanken in klarer Sprache ohne Groll und Wut zu äußern,verdanken wir eindrucksvolle Worte der Warnung vor einem wieder auflebenden Faschismus

And this from last Friday @sicherheitspod.de.
Although, to be clear, we don’t have information from Brussels on whether the sightings there point to a nefarious actor rather than just a stupid hobby drone pilot.

That'd be THIRTEEN flips; the chamber is 51/49 right now.

Dieses Land hat wirklich Probleme bis zum Abwinken und trotzdem bewirtschaftet die CDU monatelang Scheinprobleme wie die Migration, noch dazu auf eine Art und Weise, die man nur als menschenverachtend und abstoßend bezeichnen kann.

Für eine Regierungspartei ist das in jeder Hinsicht zu wenig.

Abigail Spanberger will be the first female governor of Virginia.

Mikie Sherrill will be the first female Democratic governor of New Jersey.

I’m looking forward to seeing these strong, dedicated leaders deliver a bright future for their states. 🎉

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.
