NBC projects all three Pennsylvania Supreme Court justices will keep their seats. Republicans had hoped to oust them and undercut Dems' majority on the court.

Obviously, that didn't work. www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

Alicia Johnson (D) and Peter Hubbard (D) have both defeated their Republican incumbent opponents in the special elections for Georgia Public Service Commissioner.

In a rebuke to Trump, Democrat Abigail Spanberger wins Virginia’s gubernatorial race, becoming the state’s first woman governor. Her support for constitutional amendments on redistricting and voting rights restoration could make it easier to pass both measures.

This is what we are rejecting, through today’s vote and moving forward, until the fascists are off our streets and facing official inquiries.

Update: Polls in Chester County, Pennsylvania have been extended until 10 p.m. due to earlier voting-book issues.

We're seeing some large gaps between the governor's race and the attorney general race in Virginia, as expected.

In the five counties/cities that are reporting at least 40% of the vote, Dems are doing better by a net 10%, 16%, 8%, 8%, and 7% in the gov race.

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans.

Nero would be proud.

A seeming bit of history tonight as Ghazala Hashmi becomes the first Asian American to win statewide office in Virginia - and the first Muslim woman to win statewide office *anywhere* in the United States.

That was fast

You found $40 billion to bail out Argentina.

But refuse to provide a dime to keep American children from going hungry.

Show some leadership, get off the golf course and reopen the government.

GOVERNMENT’S MOTION TO DISMISS COMPLAINT The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, by its attorney, ANDREW S. BOUTROS, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, respectfully moves this Court to dismiss the complaint in this matter. Dated: November 3, 2025

FACTS SUPPORTING PROBABLE CAUSE 4. On or about October 3, 2025, at approximately 9:15 a.m., I observed Border Patrol Agents (BPAs) with United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Enforcement and Removal Officers (ERO) with U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE), Special Agents with Homeland Security Investigations, and other law enforcement clearing the road into and out of the Broadview Service Staging Area (BSSA), an ICE facility used to process individuals apprehended for being unlawfully present in the United States, and surrounding areas in Broadview, Illinois. 5. I was present on scene and observed many protestors in the area of South 25th Avenue at Harvard Street, blocking and crowding the intersection as law enforcement officers were clearing a path for the exit and entry of law enforcement vehicles onto Harvard Street, which leads to the BSSA, in the performance of their official duties. 6. I also reviewed body-worn camera footage from Border Patrol Agent A regarding various arrests made on October 3, 2025. In the video, at approximately 9:23 a.m., Border Patrol Agents encountered SHERIDAN in a grassy area near the entrance to the BSSA parking lot from Harvard Street and 25th Avenue in Broadview. In the body camera video, I observed that the Officers in contact with SHERIDAN wore vests clearly marked with the words “Police” and either “U.S. Border Patrol” and/or “HSI” on their vests.

7. At approximately the 16:04 minute marker on the body-worn camera of Border Patrol Agent A, I observed a tall Caucasian male with red hair (later identified as SHERIDAN), wearing a white helmet and a white multicolored respirator, as well as with a black shirt and black pants, standing with his hands across his body. BPAs, specifically Border Patrol Agent A, are heard in the video directing SHERIDAN to move back. In the video, at one point after Border Patrol Agent A attempts to move SHERIDAN back by nudging his elbow, SHERIDAN responds by picking his hand up and putting it back into the crossed position in a shrug manner and does not move back. 8. Based on my review of Border Patrol Agent A’s body-worn camera, Border Patrol Agent B specifically instructed SHERIDAN to move back several more times. Border Patrol Agent B and other BPAs provided verbal commands, with Border Patrol Agent B saying, “Move back or you’re under arrest.” 9. While others followed the agents’ direction, SHERIDAN is seen in the video not moving and is heard on the recording saying back, “There are people behind me, you fucking idiot.” 10. Border Patrol Agent A is then seen in the video putting his hand on the chest area of SHERIDAN in an attempt to move him back. 11. Border Patrol Agent A stated that SHERIDAN did not obey commands, appeared to lock arms with other protestors on scene, and from his peripheral vision looked like he took a swing at Border Patrol Agent B. Border Patrol Agent A further stated that he witnessed SHERIDAN push Border Patrol Agent B back when Border

Patrol Agent B attempted to push SHERIDAN back. Border Patrol Agent A stated that he further witnessed Border Patrol Agent B falling forward and assisted Border Patrol Agent B with the arrest of SHERIDAN. 12. Border Patrol Agent B stated that he recalled SHERIDAN as a protestor around 9:30 to 10:00 a.m., to whom he provided verbal commands to several times to move back as he was attempting to clear the entry and exit way into Harvard St. and South 25th Avenue., leading to the BSSA. Border Patrol Agent B stated that Law Enforcement Officers were attempting to clear a path for the safe entry and exit of law enforcement vehicles, to secure a safe environment. 13. Border Patrol Agent B stated that SHERIDAN was actively resisting verbal commands and physical attempts by law enforcement to move him back. Border Patrol Agent B stated that he then physically attempted to move SHERIDAN back with his hands. Border Patrol Agent B stated that SHERIDAN pushed him back, and that is when Border Patrol Agent B and other Law Enforcement Officers brought SHERIDAN down onto the ground and placed SHERIDAN under arrest. Border Patrol Agent B recalled that the arrest took place on a grassy area near Harvard Street and South 25th Avenue in Broadview. Border Patrol Agent B stated that SHERIDAN did not actively swing at him but pushed back and resisted him. 14. SHERIDAN is also seen in the body-worn camera footage being brought to the ground by Border Patrol Agent B, assisted by several other officers, and placed in custody.

Good morning. Federal prosecutors have moved to dismiss another case stemming from protests outside Broadview's ICE facility — this time involving an alleged attack on U.S. Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino.

The feds recently sought extra time to indict in this case.

“Donald Trump is Dick Cheney’s Legacy”

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.

SNAP benefits will be gone, small businesses will suffer, insurance premiums will double, air traffic will be delayed/halted: All of these things are happening because when the gov't shutdown ends, the Epstein Files get released.

WOW. A federal judge says he's going to issue a Temporary Restraining Order requiring ICE to make changes at the Broadview facility in Chicago, a facility that until January was only for stays under 12 hours "absent exceptional circumstances," but has become, in Judge Gettleman's words, "a prison."

Grijalva’s name is now known to millions.

The press needs to keep running MAGA regret stories through next November.

IF YOU THINK YOU LOVE FREEDOM BUT YOU DON'T CARE IF IT APPLIES TO EVERYONE, WHAT YOU ACTUALLY LOVE IS PRIVILEGE

This is a classic form of voter intimidation—making people feel like it’s not safe to go to the polls. It moments like this where we need to summon our courage & vote anyhow. Vote in the tradition of the people who marched in Selma to secure the right to vote.

This is a fascinating statistic for a lot of reasons, some hopeful, but also, 57% of Americans can’t get behind the idea of “No Kings” 😳
