Brand new data:

Republicans blamed for the shutdown (+12) and for health care premiums going up (+28!!).

These are stunning numbers. Republicans aren't immune from the pressure this creates.

Time to press our advantage. Stand for what we believe in.

Snapshot: What a Night for Democrats and Democracy Big wins in Virginia, New Jersey and New York send a clear message

BREAKING: Three Democratic justices on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court have all won another 10-year term in a retention election. The Court’s 5-2 Democratic majority will remain, giving Democrats the chance to continue using it to protect voting rights. More to come.

Congratulations to Mary Sheffield on her historic win to become Detroit’s next mayor, and the FIRST woman to ever lead the city. Mary’s leadership in Detroit and commitment to our community is inspiring.

So proud to celebrate this moment for Detroit, for women, and for the future of Michigan.

Blumenthal: We’re going to continue finding more of the ballroom donors who evidently didn’t want their names revealed. And let me name them: BlackRock, Susquehanna International, Nvidia, OpenAI, Vantive, and Extremity Care.

And so, we will use every possible resource to expose this corruption to

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.

Meanwhile in California β€” this is the line at LMU of young people waiting to vote for PROP 50 to balance out Trump’s seat-stealing in Texas.

Everyone should pay careful attention to the Maine voter ID ballot measure (Prop 1). It is on track to lose -- thereby proving that the GOP claims that voter ID laws are overwhelmingly popular is a lie. Perhaps now the legacy media will stop repeating that nonsense.

Mind you the same thing happened in the November 2024 elections. At that time, the calls were traced back to Russia.

The media barely batted an eye over it. The government never addressed it and now here we are again.

Trump said he’d be β€œthe jobs president.” Turns out he meant job cuts. Nearly a million Americans out of work, and he’s bragging about marble bathrooms and his gilded ballroom.

My law firm is currently litigating 13 redistricting cases and an additional 50 voting and election cases. 63 lawsuits and those numbers are growing. While this is a lot for a firm with fewer than 60 lawyers, I am proud that we helping to defend free and fair elections and democracy in court.πŸ—³οΈβš–οΈπŸ’ͺ

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

This performer at Trump’s Great Gatsby party should clear up any suspicions about whether or not he’s in the Epstein Files.
