The President of the United States unilaterally levied a tax on all of us and is redistributing our taxes to a core segment of his supporters.
Trump: "I'm delighted to announce this afternoon that the US will be taking a small portion of the hundreds of billions of dollars we receive in tariffs ... and we're going to be giving and providing it to the farmers in economic assistance. We love our farmers. The farmers like me ... $12 billion"

Trump is completely owned by the AI tech broligarchs who openly say they want AI to take your job and they want us all to be transhuman cyborgs. They’re quite literally anti-human and they’re building a permanent blackmail database on all Americans.

The number of convicted criminals in immigration detention is about 1.8x what it was when Trump took office.
The number of people with no criminal record whatsoever — who are detained solely for immigration reasons — has shot up **25.5x**

Oof. This is the sort of misleading claims Trumpian conspiracy theorists used to foment questions about 2020, or discredit results in WI or MI by talking of "statistically unlikely" odds of Milwaukee or Detroit counts. (Built on a false claim of that 99% means "99% of precincts," which it doesn't.)

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.
Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.
Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

Exactly. This election let us see what the GOP defense looks like against a rising blue tide, and it showed that the blue wave might be bigger than anything we’ve seen to date
For additional context here, these are the relative turnout levels of each of the congressional special elections we've had this year
This race got super nationalized - relative turnout ended up being huge
But to me, that makes this the most encouraging special for Ds so far

It is good news
High turnout and big over performance is damn good news. Dems need to hold onto this energy and figure out how to ride it efficiently but the blowout energy is there
14% swing from 2024 when all is said and done? Pretty good considering just how high-profile the race became in the last week
Turnout is currently *93%* of 2022, and it's also a 14% swing from 2022 despite similar turnout levels

Another House GOP retirement.
This time it’s Troy Nehls of #TX22.
Nehls should have easily won reelection, is only 57 years old, and has only been in office since 2021.
Not the profile of someone you’d expect to leave.
The rats are fleeing the ship.
