The Down-Ballot Votes That Sustained The National Pro-Democracy Wave Read more here.

NEW: Few could miss that election night delivered a cascade of victories for our democracy. And while national attention understandably focused on statewide races and high-profile ballot measures, smaller contests carried an outsized impact. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Opinion | The sandwich thrower was wrong. But Jeanine Pirro was, too. To establish a forcible assault, jurors were required to find that Dunn caused “reasonable apprehension of immediate bodily harm.” That allegation was laughable.

Sandwich verdict wasn’t jury nullification. It was failure to prove the required “reasonable fear of physical injury” in a case where the agent was wearing A BULLETPROOF VEST. The only crime was the waste of resources on this case. My thoughts in @MSNBCDaily.

There are cracks in Trump’s power. We have to lean in.

Lawsuit Blasts Trump’s Bid to Keep New Citizens From Registering to Vote Read more here.

🚨BREAKING: A civil rights organization sued the Trump administration Saturday over a new policy barring nonprofits from helping new U.S. citizens register to vote. The lawsuit calls the policy part of a “broader effort to ensure that new Americans cannot exert their democratic will on the nation.”

$40 billion to Argentina. No Epstein files. Record-high prices. No SNAP funding. Health premiums to spike. Threats of war against multiple nations.

MAGA!

BREAKING: Federal Judge Immergut in Portland rules Trump admin CANNOT deploy National Guard to Oregon. Grants state & city a PERMANENT injunction, barring troops indefinitely.

Crockett: Why don't you at least try to look like you're serious about your job and look like you are doing the work of the people and not look like a petulant child and swear her in.

Crockett: When you go and you hit those booths come the midterms, think about which party decided that it was okay to literally be on vacation while people were going hungry in the streets of America.

800+ flights cancelled today because Elon took a chainsaw to the federal government and Trump won’t pay the remaining airport personnel.

Elon’s on his way to becoming a trillionaire.

Trump’s net worth has more than doubled inside a year.

Glad everything worked out for them.

How about you?

This Is What Evil People Do….

The President of the United States was ordered by the court to feed starving kids and he’s fighting it. Let that sink in.

The Trump administration has indicated it will appeal a judge’s ruling that it must act by Friday to provide food stamp benefits to the tens of millions of Americans.
What president takes food away from the people he represents and then appeals a judges ruling to provide the food. Lowest of low.

The US spent decades promising people all over the world that they could find peace and freedom in America. So the people came. And now they're being terrorized, tortured, kidnapped, disappeared, enslaved, and murdered by a Fascist State.

May the monsters who chose this never, ever be forgiven.

My father, who’s supposed to retire next year, just told me he wants to get his heavy machinery license so he can “be the first one to bulldoze the fucking ballroom” in 2029

Democrat Spanberger Wins Governor Race As Virginians Reproach Trump Read more here.

Democracy wins!

In a rebuke to President Donald Trump, Democrat Abigail Spanberger won Virginia’s gubernatorial race Tuesday. Her support for constitutional amendments on redistricting and voting rights restoration could make it easier to pass both pro-democracy measures.

Is it wrong to be elated that Zuckerberg’s stock is down 15% in five days?

Jeffries: "The Trump administration and Mike Johnson are running a pedophile protection program. That's the reason they refuse to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva."

No they are not! They are not willingly to negotiate to help the American people! They are not in session because of Johnson!

So, is MAGA Mike Johnson ever going to work again, or is he just going to keep humiliating himself by holding these weird press conferences every day? Trying to starve Americans and take away their health care to protect those in the Epstein Files certainly is a choice.

It isn’t a trusted news source at all. I agree Norah did not push back on the lies but she did keep trying to ask him questions. If you noticed they spliced some of the interview. He just lied and lied. He pardon CZ and he doesn’t know him? There are 25 million undocumented criminals??

There is hope. Senate Republicans are finally starting to stand up to Trump, passing measures to oppose on his tariffs on Brazil and Canada. We must keep this momentum going by winning the NJ and VA elections. DO SOMETHING!

I just watched The Last Republican documentary about Adam Kinzinger, produced by MeidasTouch. It reinforced a continuing thought I keep having every time I listen to him being interviewed or hear his messaging. I would

"The Last Republican" is a must-watch! @adamkinzinger.substack.com is a man of honor, integrity, and courage (even if he doesn't think so). Look for it on multiple platforms. I watched it on YT. Thanks, @meidastouch.com , for spreading the word about this.

Hey everyone - 16% of Democrats in NJ have voted so far. Let’s all check our friends here, and remind the other 84% to VOTE BLUE. Off year elections are all about the turnout.
