Turnout was down 75% in Middle TN U.S. House special election, particularly in GOP strongholds • Tennessee Lookout Turnout in the special election primary for Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District race was down compared to the 2024 General Election.

If you are a Democrat in the Tennessee 7th, you have a chance to do something incredible starting tomorrow as to the special election on December 2nd

The Republican Party appears to be collapsing there, perhaps in part because it is trying to starve everyone

A real president does this.

Thank you to every veteran who’s worn the uniform and carried the weight for the rest of us — just respect 🇺🇸

They bent the knee to Trump and said f/u to their constituents and to the Americans who benefit from the ACA.

Not pro-life.

Now THAT’S a Project I can support!! 👊

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

This is what class looks like.

If you refuse to see it for what it is...you don't belong with the grown ups.

Trump's National Guard deployments aren't random. They were planned years ago President Trump and several others now high up in his second administration have been talking about using the National Guard to help with mass deportations — and possibly invoking the Insurrection Act — for years. Now, those plans might be playing out.

The pentagon has green lit the transfer of Tomahawks to Ukraine, the decision is solely on Trump to approve them. For reasons best known to himself and the Kremlin, he is refusing to sign them off.

Opinion | The White House's sweeping overhaul of ICE is creating a Frankenstein force The recent wave of ICE senior official reassignments has a clear motive.

www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
"... It isn't ICE. It isn't CBP. It's a Frankenstein force, stitched together from multiple agencies but loyal to none. Its purpose is to create a community response designed for social media clicks, rather than to keep communities safe..."
This is fascism

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ.

We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights.

Help us win this fight by chipping in at katforillinois.com/legal

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

In Portland, protesters have started putting up flyers with photos and info of right wing influencers showing up at rallies. They list names, social media handles, and arrests tied to recent events. It’s not harassment — it’s a warning to the community about people who travel city to city filming, provoking, and twisting chaos into viral content. Reports from Oregon Public Broadcasting and The Guardian show these influencers have built large followings by showing up at left wing protests, recording moments of tension, and pushing it online as proof of “antifa violence.” Some have ties to far right networks and even connections with government officials. They have freedom of speech, but protesters have every right to protect themselves. Transparency like this keeps people safe and keeps the focus on the message, not the agitators trying to profit off division.

Ben Meiselas calls on those with standing to act: seek an injunction to halt Trump’s White House ballroom. Argue fraud—Trump claimed he’d pay and not alter the structure—and use the damage to the East Wing as the emergency basis. Demand discovery now.

The Trump ICE regime troops attacking American civilians

here’s more context to the videos DHS is putting out from Chicago.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Fascist republicans have confirmed idiot MAGA lunatic Herschel Walker as US Ambassador to the Bahamas for no other reason than to give yet another deranged unqualified cultist a title with fancy taxpayer funded salary for a job he doesn’t give a flying fuck about.

The Fear Factor The right and the left both use fear to drive politics, but the difference in how is striking

These are scary times, and it’s okay to feel afraid. The challenge is learning how to respond instead of retreating. This piece offers insight into managing that fear and transforming it into courage, understanding, and tangible steps forward.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Remembering the horrific events that ended this young man's life. So sad, so needless. RIP, Matthew
