CONFIRMED: Georgia Democrats have won their first statewide elections for non-federal offices since *2006.*

The two Dem challengers, Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard, have ousted two GOP Republican commissioners on the state's utility commission.

It hasn't sunk in to folks yet how truly remarkable it is that Mamdani won. It's absolutely incredible.

There are more of us than there are of them.

Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer.

Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss.

'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.

I mailed my ballot in a little over a week and a half ago. Hoping it made it on time but I don’t expect to know until several weeks after Election Day.

Yes. This is definitely a negative aspect of living here. Everywhere else I’ve lived has been so much friendlier and easier to build relationships.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

I’m so sorry and disappointed to read this. Your excellent reporting has been invaluable.

Trump Regime to Pay 50% of SNAP Benefits - SNAP Monday, 11/3 | Matthew Cortland Get more from Matthew Cortland on Patreon

Trump admin agrees to partially fund SNAP But the administration refuses to use additional funding that could allow for full payments, as widespread economic uncertainty and hunger spread.

My understanding is that USDA said they’ll release the full contingency fund amount & the contingency fund doesn’t have enough $ to fully fund SNAP for Nov. They are so far still refusing to use additional legally allowable $ to fully fund SNAP for the month. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If you’re in the Edgewater/Rogers Park area, we need people with their whistles on visibly out on patrol. Even if it’s just a walk on your lunch break or while you walk your dog, it matters. This is an all hands on deck day. Whatever you can do. ICE is heavily present in the area. Hope I see you.

Out on patrol. ICE very active on the far North Side including Edgewater and Lincoln Square. Multiple abductions. Vulnerable folks should get off the street if they can. Street vendors should be bought out, landscapers warned. If you’re in Chicago and you’re not ICE watch trained, pls get trained.

Neighbors! Have you been hoping to run your own whistle training in your neighborhood or on your block?!

A group of organizers has set up a resource website, including links to the scenarios the Mpls trainings have used.

If you’re running trainings and needs whistles, DM us!

Thank you! Any idea how welcoming the staff/school is for LGBTQIA+ students? The bias and consistent misgendering in their current school is appallingly bad.

If you are willing to share, I would love to hear your thoughts on MPS Online. Looking at middle school options. Thanks!

I think if she was truly committed to keeping St Paul boring she would have quashed the misleading attack ad put out by a newly formed PAC last week.

We’re aware federal employees, including ICE and border patrol agents, are converging in the Twin Cities ahead of Kristi Noem’s speech today in Minneapolis. Though we aren’t aware of planned enforcement activity, I understand and share concerns about what this could signal. Remember you have rights. We encourage everyone to review the following information for what to do if you are stopped by federal law enforcement, how to safely and legally document proceedings in progress, and who to call for legal assistance. Visit stpaul.gov/immigration-resources. As a reminder, Saint Paul police officers will always identify themselves. They wear clearly marked SPPD uniforms, display their badges, and, when relevant, produce a warrant. Our officers will help de-escalate situations when possible. And they do not wear face coverings.

We’re aware ICE and other federal agents are in the Twin Cities ahead of Kristi Noem’s speech today. Though we’re not aware of planned enforcement activity, I share your concerns. Reminder SPPD will not participate in immigration enforcement.

Summit Avenue bike lane feud runs through St. Paul mayoral race Neighborhood activists just sued Mayor Melvin Carter’s administration, while challenger Kaohly Her, who lives on Summit, won’t pick a side.

Regular reminder that “not taking a position” on the Summit Trail in fact IS taking a position. It is opposing it.

Projects either happen or they don’t. If you don’t support it you are saying you don’t want it to happen.
