Glad that someone has finally taken responsibility for the appalling assault on democracy that was the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Slightly confused that it's the Director-General of the BBC, but what do I know?

A big win for people more outraged by a silly edit at the BBC than by a man impeached by Congress for literally inciting an insurrection being back in the White House. Pathetic.

the right winger who was appointed to lead the BBC in the hope of appeasing right wingers has been driven out by right wingers for not appeasing right wingers enough and the BBC has the chance to do the funniest thing ever

In 'How They Broke Britain', I do a pretty good job of detailing the depth & breadth of Tufton Street/Tory/Murdoch/Mail attempts to scupper the BBC, even as I castigate some presenters for going too easy on precisely the people who seek the Corporation's abolition. But I should have done more. 1/2

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

When you’re trying to look the other way but it’s kinda obvious what’s going on…

CHARLAMAGNE: “Van, shut the f*ck up forever.”

He gives van jones the “DONKEY OF THE DAY” 🫏 award for calling Zohran’s speech “divisive” — as @mehdirhasan.bsky.social reminds us Kushner’s buddy Van once said “tonight, Trump became president” after a Trump speech.

It got drowned out in all the good news from last night, but Boston Mayor Michelle Wu became the youngest person to be reelected in the city's history.

She ran unopposed because her opponent--Patriots owner Bob Kraft's son--withdrew a few months ago after realizing he had no hope of winning.

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."

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history.

Now let’s get to work.

Jeffries: "Abigail focused relentlessly on affordability and driving down the high cost of living in VA. Mikie Sherrill focused relentlessly on affordability & dealing with some of the escalating prices in NJ. And of course Zohran focused relentlessly on affordability. That's the connective tissue"

AOC: "This is about, do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And they assignment is to come together across difference no matter what."

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

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.

MSNBC calls Virginia for Spanberger

Zohran kneeling, smiling and giving the thumbs up, next to a chalking on the sidewalk that says "Have You Voted Today" and "Make History, Vote Zohran, Nov. 4, 6am to 9pm"

Well have you?

A tweet from Face The Nation (@FaceTheNation) quotes Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA): “‘I wish they would have got up and walked out of the damn room,’ Sen. Mark Warner says of his Republican colleagues who received a classified briefing from the Trump administration on U.S. strikes on alleged drug boats, while Democrats were excluded. ‘My Republican colleagues, many of them afterwards said, “Oh yeah, that was not really good,” Warner says. ‘Everyone knows partisanship should not be involved in these national security matters, particularly when we are putting our soldiers and sailors in harm’s way.’” Below is a screenshot of Warner speaking on Face the Nation.

We need a functioning Republican Party that believes in Congressional oversight, not whatever this is they have become.

Obama: They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and D.E.I. For every problem under the sun. You got a flat tire? D.E.I.. Wife mad at you? D.E.I..

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more.

That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs.

It looks a lot more like preparation for war.

Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.
