I'm endorsing Gov. @KathyHochul because she's someone willing to engage in honest dialogue that delivers results.

Along with the movement that powered our campaign, it's how we secured a historic agreement on childcare. And we're just getting started.

Sen. Collins can get MAGA credit for voting for and actively facilitating the rollout of Trump’s least-popular policies across the country while at the same time being given an exemption from them that protects her own constituents from their effects.

I promised myself I wouldn't spend today watching bad people deconstruct society for profit.

This whole immigration issue is: making money off of misery, from hunting, holding, storing and deporting immigrants, a profit engine worth HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS.

Two things can be true: we’re a competitive authoritarian state with all sorts of efforts to put a thumb on the scale of who has power AND we have sufficiently free and sufficiently fair elections that every month we see the party in power lose.
JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.

Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.

With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.

Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

Where the hell is the "Board of Peace?”

Over 500 Palestinians have been killed since the “ceasefire.” This comes days after the IDF itself admitted the Palestinian death toll is over 70,000. 

The use of American taxpayer-funded weapons makes us complicit. 

Stop the slaughter.

For the doomers constantly saying “they’re going to cancel the elections,” they had an election in Minnesota yesterday. If the concentrated operations in the Twin Cities didn’t stop this election, there’s no way they can stop them in November.
Couple of special elections in very blue districts in the Twin Cities area tonight, though only one is contested. It's a +71 Harris seat, so hard for Democrats to overperform when the margins are already so lopsided, but we'll see.

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers.

Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024.

And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary.

The system is rigged.

Just over the past 72 days, two non-white Democratic members of Congress have been attacked, one of them by a Trump supporter who threatened him with deportation.

Does JD Vance have anything to say? After all, the GOP VP is always so keen to attack "left-wing" political violence.
