this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

every victory speech is like “to those that did not vote for me just know i will work with you”

nah dawg, we are running lib shit like it’s the four verts offense. gays everywhere. trans folks on every high school field hockey team. get on board or get smoked 42-0 at halftime.

These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

whatever you think of Spanberger, the fact that her opponent ran a campaign based almost entirely on transphobia and is on track to eat shit in the biggest blowout the state has seen since 2009 is unambiguously a huge win

Earle-Sears ran what felt like 12 billion ads about how much she hated trans kids and I didn’t hear a single pundit say she should stick to real issues that affect real people.

“Jobs are booming” is Treasury Secretary-speak for “most-announced-job-cuts-for-a-full-year-since-2020.”

“Inflation is falling” is Treasury Secretary-speak for “inflation-is-at-an-eight-month-high.”

i hope to see enterprising democrats announce their intent to retire schumer and gillibrand over the next two years.

“I do understand: you want permission... You gave one to your teacher and they didn’t notice. Your boss told you to use it after they laid off half the team and it was fine. You fed one to your kids and they liked it.”

Good points Senator

Maybe remind your colleagues who think they are negotiating with GOP Senators that this is who calls the shots. They all answer to Trump and he wont even follow court orders to feed the hungry

so how can Thune or Collins be trusted

So don't cave now

It would be good if we had a functional Supreme Court at this point.

Paterson NJ is ~65% Hispanic,
~20% Black, ~10% white.

I’m sure that’s not at all a coincidence.

Democracy literally dies in bomb threats.

DJT truth social - SNAP benefits .. will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up govt

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

This is the President openly announcing that he will violate court orders - two courts had concluded that the Trump regime withholding SNAP funding was illegal - and that the government had to pay out (at least reduced) SNAP benefits starting this week

Turning Point USA continues to carry on the sainted work of Charlie Kirk by singling out innocent high school teachers for death threats.

A more pertinent question: Why might one mayor in one city be a political liability for national Democrats, while the president, VP, various governors, and members of Congress are not for the national Republicans, let alone any GOP mayor?

How did that come to be? Who makes that happen?

Extraordinary how many establishment Democrats really wish they didn't have a talented rising new star who connects to people by talking to them and understanding what their interests are, then speaking to those interests. Like a job where the new guy makes everyone look bad simply by doing the job.

Dayanne Figueroa was on her way to get coffee before heading to work when she encountered a chaotic scene in West Town: heavily armed, masked federal agents making arrests on a residential street. People yelled as vehicles honked their horn - a sign now used to alert neighbors that immigration federal agents are in the area - and witnesses said federal agents had arrested several landscaper workers presumed to be in the country without authorization. As Figuero tried to drive through the 1600 block of West Hubbard Street on Friday, Oct. 10, an unmarked vehicle driven by federal agents collided with Figueroa's as it tried to speed away from a hostile crowd, multiple videos reviewed by the Tribune show. Seconds after the crash, agents abruptly stopped their vehicle and exited with weapons in hand pointing at Figueroa, a U.S citizen. Agents then forcibly opened her door and pulled her out of the vehicle by her legs without identifying themselves, presenting a warrant or informing her that she was under arrest. As bystanders yelled, "You hit her! We have it on video!" agents ignored the crowd and forced Figueroa into a red minivan and drove away. Her car was left behind in the middle of the road, her coffee still in the cup holder, and her keys in plain view.

Insane. Inexcusable. Illegal.

And the new normal in Trump’s America.

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.

Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.

She was later released with NO CHARGE.

A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.

You decide…

people like this get security details to make themselves feel important

Who said he was old? He’s simply ill suited for a job which requires him to be a decisive leader, a beacon for the future, an exciting and inspiring figurehead or even simply not visibly anhedonic and lethargic, particularly as the face of the party. He’s not old, he just sucks real hard at his job

It’s important to understand that the hosts on Fox are not this stupid. They just think their audience is, and they’ve been proven right for decades.

A SSRS/CNN poll showing 61% people think Trump has gone too far using the power of the presidency and 57% think he's gone too far deporting immigrants.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

you are the help of the earth

The Christian is charged to do a singular thing... and that thing is not bible bash, be weird about someone's sexuality, gender, judge, criticize, be critical, or demeaning

... we are charged to help

That's it that's all... Just help

For me the centralizing question of the faith in this moment is ...

"When did we see you?"
hungry (SNAP)
thirsty (our environment is suffering)
a stranger (we have abandoned our neighbors)
naked (we have exploited the resources to the wealthy)
sick (no healthcare)
in prison

AND ... not help you?

and when power is all you care about... perversion is the product

One time. The GOP has won more than 50% of the popular vote <one time> since 1992. And yet, every day, you are bombarded with Takes™️ from Ezra Douthglesias about how deeply unpopular The Democrats and their policy platform are, without any reflection on how the same standard applies to the GOP.

Screengrab from the NYT: 4 hours ago Tim Balk After Representative Hakeem Jeffries, the House Democratic leader, told CNN that he did not think Zohran Mamdani could be the future of the Democratic Party, Gov. Kathy Hochul took a different tone. "I don't think we can stand here today and say what the future of the party is," Hochul said, appearing with Mamdani outside a bar in Astoria, Queens. "This is the party right now."

No fan of Hochul, but she’s said the right things in the final weeks— including here, where she stood up to no less than Hakeem Jeffries (who must go).

Red Trump-style graphic with images of Donald Trump and Andrew Cuomo. At the top it says, "I'm going to pick [Cuomo]." - Donald Trump, 60 Minutes Interview, 11-2-25 Then beneath it TRUMP ENDORSES CUOMO

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo!

I know how hard you worked for this.

Woman sits in car for 14 hours to get food during New Birth Baptist church food giveaway More than 2,000 people waited in their cars in line Saturday morning in order to receive food.

Some people waited in line up for 14 hours to receive a food box from a church giveaway.

500 people volunteered to help and they still ran out of food.

Remember for every one person a food bank feeds, SNAP feeds 9.

By turning off food assistance the regime is starving Americans.
