Jesse Jackson, civil rights icon, dies aged 84 A fixture in Democratic politics who ran for 1988 presidential nomination, Jackson was once close to Martin Luther King Jr The Rev Jesse Jackson, the civil rights campaigner who was prominent for more than 50 years and who ran strongly for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1988, has died. He was 84. “Our father was a servant leader — not only to our family, but to the oppressed, the voiceless, and the overlooked around the world,” the Jackson family said in a statement. “We shared him with the world, and in return, the world became part of our extended family. His unwavering belief in justice, equality, and love uplifted millions, and we ask you to honor his memory by continuing the fight for the values he lived by.” Continue reading...

Jesse Jackson, civil rights icon, dies aged 84

It’s a crowded field, so 34% is more than enough to establish yourself as the frontrunner.

I hope that’s the case, and that there’s not a rush to coronate the nominee like there usually is from the Dems. A competitive primary will do them some good.

…the goodwill of being VP to a popular president, and was pretty well-liked. Neither of those things apply to Harris.

I think what will happen is that people will be reminded why she had to drop out before the Iowa caucuses in 2020, and she won’t make it very far.

The counter argument is obviously that Biden flamed out quickly in 2008 and then won in 2020, after serving as VP. But the difference is that he had…

Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas is just a delight on every level

The late mail would probably help Mejia though, right? Or at the very least, it wouldn't be enough for Malinowski. Because it's obvious that late deciders have broken heavily for Mejia.

But those would probably be good for Mejia. Given how much she's been cooking in the E-Day vote, the late ballots would probably be good for her.

From what I’ve heard, and I haven’t verified this by any means, it’s mostly provisional and late mail-in ballots left to count, right? If true, Malinowski is likely cooked.

Third for me. Lacy Clay in 2020, and Katie Wilson in 2025.

Holy comeback!

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.

If you support ICE at this point, you don't get to condemn political violence.

Representatives Henry Cuellar, Vicente Gonzalez, Jared Golden, Laura Gillen, Tom Suozzi, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez & Don Davis have the blood of innocents on their hands.

4 of them have primary challengers. We have a moral duty to oust every rep who voted for the Kidnap Our Children Act.

AOC excoriated Vance here.

Let’s see how the American public responds to Vance's “we believe young mothers should be shot in the street” political slogan.

After this week, that line will forever and always be JD's rallying cry.

that likely wraps up DSA's first race of 2026: Queens Democrats have given their nomination to Diana Moreno, DSA's choice, to replace Zohran Mamdani in the Assembly

Per reporting- US officials confirm that the United States launched military strikes on Venezuela, these bombings serving as a hideous extension of the regime’s illegal murders at sea.

This is the funniest way of saying that he got over 50 percent of the vote but by a smaller margins than normal. Like over 50% of New Yorkers voted for him

An absolute tragedy.

Indiana gerrymandering absolutely clobbered

PRIMARY WIN/LOSS RECORD: 37 wins, 15 first-place advancements, 9 second-place advancements, 40 losses GENERAL WIN/LOSS RECORD: 51 wins, 50 losses

folks, it is now official because of Stephanie Telles' victory: DSA will end the year with a greater than 50% win rate. it ends the year with 51 endorsed wins, and 50 endorsed losses.

this is the first time it has accomplished more wins than losses in an off-year election cycle.

Stephanie’s win flips control of the city council from Republicans, and solidifies a solid progressive block that will have wide leverage to affect city politics over the next few years. Incredibly proud of the work my chapter put into this campaign.
