No worries! It’s a good sign that the new theme song has been absorbed so thoroughly

After years of decline, 18–29-year-olds delivered a 35-point margin for @SpanbergerForVA — the biggest for Dems since 2017.

Older voters barely moved, but young voters anchored the Democratic turnaround.

Historical perspective on Virginia election results-

Abigail Spanberger is on track to win by the largest margin of any Democratic candidate for Governor since 1961, before the integration-era party realignment.

Democrats will win their largest House of Delegates majority since 1987.

A BIG night.

Los Angeles suffered tremendously because of the wildfires. The president of the United States has wanted to make the immigrants who make the city suffer and declared war on the city. But all throughout it, L.A. makes it work daily. It’s a place where people go to make it. LA deserves this.

The Democrats need to get a hell of a lot of cameras on the White House and plaster the photos everywhere. It's not just the brazen symbol of a megalomaniac destroying national heritage; it's happening during a government shutdown when ordinary people aren't getting paid. Make every American see it.

Not to split hairs, but hummus doesn’t seem likely to have been a food option at the time of Jesus, since its origin is tied to 13th century Syria.

RFK linking Tylenol to autism is doing a solid for the man crowd who think they’ll live until 150 making babies. While the science has focused on paternal age or chemical changes in sperm, RFK wants to blame women for taking the only med available to them to alleviate intense hip pain before birth.

I see @SecKennedy was able to attend Charlie Kirk's memorial. It's unfortunate the Secretary of HHS was not able to attend the funeral of Officer David Rose who was killed in the senseless attack on the CDC, one of the agencies within @hhs.

The Aug employment report shows the strain from growth negative policies--restrictive immigration means construction job losses, trade war means mfg job losses, budget cuts mean state & local govts and health care sputter as job engines. The economy is v close to a tipping point

I don’t know how this is possible. Texas cannot control guard sent to Illinois without violating Illinois sovereignty. It must be federally controlled units, otherwise instead of a Posee Comitatus problem, we have a major constitutional crisis.

For the record, we had armed troops in LA in June, car windows were smashed and people pulled from their vehicles, and Americans were thrown on the ground and arrested for complaining, and now Trump is trying to get SCOTUS to say it’s ok to grab all Spanish-speaking manual laborers in So California.
