Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

We just want to take a moment to thank all the poll workers today. It’s been a hectic day, and we know everyone is working hard to keep things running smoothly! 💚

I would just like to ask the Republican Party to please put Stephen Miller in front cameras as much as possible from now until the midterms because he is such a likable & charismatic person with so many amazing & popular ideas for people who aren’t white Christian nationalists.

Cop out. He’s in the Epstein files bigly.

We voted at 11am today Allegheny Cnty and the poll workers said the turnout that early was already so high it even surprised them.

On the one hand she’s clearly trying to cynically sanewash her entire life.

On the other hand this is also a clear rumbling that she sees major cracks in the MAGA foundation & is trying to get ahead of it.

President Trump says he won’t fund the food aid program until the shutdown ends, contradicting his own administration’s decision a day earlier—and potentially violating a court order in the process. trib.al/53ZgA8R

Rep. Tim Moore R-NC ignores shouts by Democrats from the floor and quickly adjourns the House. Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva D-AZ was elected on September 23 - six weeks ago - she's still waiting to be sworn into office.

Aside from the fact that both Trump and Leavitt constantly lie, it's possible they have no idea how elections work. Every ballot is attached to a single, specific registered voter. No one can "print them up." The only way to cheat is to steal another voter's ballot and hope they don't try to vote.

The Supreme Court will hear arguments in the tariffs cases tomorrow. @cato.org filed a brief explaining why Congress never authorized Trump's tariffs. The Supreme Court should strike them down.

Every last one of these ICE officers belongs in prison for this. Hold them accountable!

JUST IN: 11th Circuit politely tells Judge Aileen Cannon to get moving on motions seeking to unseal remainder of Special Counsel Jack Smith's final report. Basically, gives her 60 days to act or appeals court will take further action. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

DHS Agreement Reveals Risks of Using Social Security Data for Voter Citizenship Checks A recently released agreement gives the Department of Homeland Security access to hundreds of millions of Americans’ Social Security data. It contains alarmingly few provisions to ensure accuracy and privacy, experts say.

NEW: DHS used to only have information on immigrants who’d had contact with the agency.

Under a new data-sharing agreement, the system added information — including full Social Security numbers — on millions of Americans not in DHS databases.

This is insane.

The Trump Administration is trying to get in the way of businesses having compassion for their own customers.

The cruelty IS THE POINT.

This Small Rust-Belt City Holds the Secret to Democrats’ Latino Woes Latino voters shifted dramatically toward Trump in the last election. Reading, Pennsylvania offers a clue to how Democrats can claw them back.

FWIW I've tried to wrestle w/some of this. I spent some time reporting out why Latino vote shifted toward Trump in the small city of Reading, PA and came away persuaded that cost of living + Trump's cultural/info penetration were big factors. Ross handwaves them away.

His girlfriend is an Amazon infotainment bot? Bet she’s always real nice to him. 🙄

Syrian leader to get more time with Trump than Congressional Democrats.

How many “tricks” did the do to get her appointment?

Among the many opportunities to make a small donation let me urge everyone to join me in supporting this exceptional group who tirelessly support our rights and our Constitution:

We are seeing not just a merging of different parts of the armed forces; we are also seeing a deprofessionalization. Competent people are fired. Those willing to break the law are hired. Normal practices are abandoned as the new force becomes more responsive to the demand for quotas & brutalization.

Bondi, Bessent and Trump want to sweep Epstein under the rug. I’m not going to let them. The banks protected Epstein, and now the Trump administration is protecting the banks. More to come.

Smells like a Russia “hoax”.

Turns out the sweetheart deal that Trump's former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta gave Epstein back in 2008 was even worse than we thought. Epstein's emails show Acosta tanked an investigation that had Epstein dead to rights on money laundering, and other financial crimes.

The person who is currently running our country has lost his mind and it’s time we start talking about it.

Homicide by proxy, his fantasy realized.
