The turnout for AOC & Bernie was absolutely insane in Folsom, CA We were in line for over 1.5 hrs and we still never got in!! People set up on the road above the arena just to get a view. Here are some photos from when we got close enough to see.

Speaker Johnson has literally said he's "not promising anyone anything."

Might you have missed some of the depth of Tuesday's results, beyond the big headline races?
I'd been watching roughly 200 races heading into Election Day, so here's a thread of some of what you don't want to skip over!

it's true and they should say it but it's a real bad sign it's winding up in print
“A Nigerian official was told by a U.S. counterpart that, with Thanksgiving coming up, Nigeria should go quiet and wait for the president’s attention to shift, a Nigerian official said.”

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

Every single time an LLM hallucinates, I am grateful:
Grateful that I spotted it, and thus remind myself that any and all LLM output needs to be validated. You can never trust these things 100%, unless you have additional validation in place that is 100% reliable.

This has not gotten much attention, but it should.
Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE.
Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.

New — While some states have received SNAP benefits for November and USDA is supposedly pushing through all federal payments soon, that doesn’t erase the psychological terror of the last few weeks.
I spoke with 20+ SNAP recipients in 16 states about preparing for a possible future with no food:

MSNBC: Where's the urgency to end this shutdown in Washington?
JEFFRIES: That's a great question. It should be asked of Mike Johnson. Where's the urgency in actually bringing the House back into session? They have canceled votes for the last 6 weeks.

Read this thread. This is what @katmabu.bsky.social was protesting, and why she repeatedly says getting beaten up by ICE outside is nothing compared to the torture and crimes being committed inside Broadview. These thugs must be held to account.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Robert Sánchez dropped out of school as a teenager and became a fisherman like his father. The 42-year-old father of four spent his days fishing for snapper, kingfish and dogfish, and most of his income — about $100 a month — went to feed his children. He was one of the 70 people murdered by Trump.
Trump has accused boat crews of being narco-terrorists. The truth, AP found, is more nuanced
One was a fisherman struggling to eke out a living on $100 a month. Another was a career criminal. A third was a former military cadet.
