Voters soundly reject Trump's plot to rig the next election On Tuesday, Democrats passed new congressional maps, defeated GOP attempts to make it harder to vote, and protected pro-democracy judges.

Last night was huge rejection of Trump's plan to rig midterms:

-CA passes prop 50, giving Dems up to 5 new seats

-VA elects Dem gov & leg, boosting redistricting chances

-ME voters defeat voter suppression initiative

-Dems retain majority PA Supreme Court

The Wildest Democratic Wins You May Not Have Heard About Elections for school boards and public service commissions aren’t as sexy as a governor’s race, but they matter — and Democrats swept them everywhere.

um. you ok?

You know how they say, "It's funny because it's true"? I wish this weren't so damn funny. But it is. It really, really is.

Zohran Mamdani ran on freezing the rent in NYC.

Abigail Spanberger ran on supporting fired federal workers and lowering the cost of living in VA.

Mikie Sherrill ran on lowering utility bills in NJ.

Ensuring people can afford to live a decent life is the path forward.

Trump Humiliation Worsens as Fresh Info Reveals Scale of GOP Losses The results showed that Democrats don’t have to choose between attacking Trump and highlighting the economy. In fact, they are often inseparable.

The dramatic repudiation of Trump this week wrecks a number of absurd narratives the media has pushed lately. In the runup to the election, NYT pieces kept telling us Dems were overly obsessed with attacking Trump.

That dumb idea now lies in ruins. 1/

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Man @gavinnewsom’s team doesn’t mess around

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Republicans are throwing a tantrum because Californians stood up to Donald Trump's election-rigging scheme.

Cry harder.

Trump's economy is a failure. It demonstrates his commitment to greed and grift rather than the well-being of our country. While billions are sent to Argentina and opulent parties are thrown, American families suffer.

I urge the U.S. Supreme Court to stand up for the rule of law.

Every day this year has been a further reminder that Nancy Pelosi only made it look easy.

The Social Security Administration used to have an incredible communications arm, including even a film unit. This was crucial in helping people understand the program, and how it would work. From 1936, 1939.

Donald Trump's planned ballroom, for which he had the White House's East Wing demolished, could actually help Democrats, according to a conservative who opposes Trump.

EXCELLENT. The last thing we want Congressional Republicans doing is taking last night's results seriously.

Mike Johnson doubling down warms my heart.

He is soooo pathetic.

In a tiny town in NC, the citizens voted out the incumbents and now has a complete new board. Not claiming this as a blue wave victory but, when board members' egos get in the way of working FOR the people, they lose.

Mississippi famously a blue state.

Trump's little Johnson needs to explain Mississippi's results

🤣😅🤣
What a fucking moron!

I'm wondering, if republican politicians enter this ballroom will they finally grow some balls? If they do, perhaps your next project should be a spineroom.

I've little doubt that Riley Gaines will be on TV today blaming a transgender pee wee football player in Bonners Ferry, Idaho for Republicans losing every single major and meaningful election last night.

Hmmm....

Holy crap! Can you tell I'm psyched this morning? I stayed up until all results were in 😆 My issue is that the media didn't publish ALL the results - like THIS one Mississippi Mississippi Mississippi LET'S GO!

No one likes a sore loser – but Cuomo declines to bow out gracefully

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

Trump won in 2024 by 1.5%pts and the press acted like he got a mandate to be god-emperor, can’t wait for them to be dismissive of victories in places the Democratic Party hasn’t won in 20 years
