Trump just got more desperate as you see in his posts this AM demanding the GOP pass "voter reform." Trump will do everything he can to rig and/or prevent the 2026 election. We need to be on even higher alert--as does every Democratic Attorney General and voting rights organizations.

More people voted in New York City’s election this year than they have in 50 years.
That’s a win for democracy, and a testament to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's inspiring campaign.
Congratulations to the next mayor of the greatest city in the world. 🗽

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.

If it really takes “weeks or months” to comply with this court order, it will be because the admin is so full of incompetent lackeys.
A proper country would be having food riots right now.
A judge told the USDA to use the contingency fund to provide reduced SNAP benefits for November. The Feds say it could take "weeks or months" for people to receive it.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Jimmy Kimmel's sudden suspension escalates what @inaeoh.bsky.social warned was a dramatic shift in Trump's ability to take down our actual culture.
"The TV, art, movies, music that, no matter how much Trump had complained in his first term, remained protected and free-willed."

The president went on TV to attack political opponents and blame them for the killing of Charlie Kirk, even though we don’t know who shot him.
If there is anything this man can do to worsen the situation, he will do it. Despicable.

“The Left won’t stop unless it’s forced to.”
Influential figures across the right have decided to use Charlie Kirk’s death to promote their fantasies of war and retribution against Democrats and leftists.

Understand that Trump voters will see every House seat Trump steals via gerrymandering as a legitimate MAGA gain, and every House seat Republicans *lose* through gerrymandering as "stolen."
The effect of this is that there's a good chance Trump orders Mike Johnson to not accept the midterm results.
