I appreciate @msnbc.com interviewing all these people standing in line to vote...and also I think hours long voting lines are an affront to democracy. It should be easy to vote.

AOC: "This is about, do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And they assignment is to come together across difference no matter what."

Democratic women have made history tonight:

Abigail Spanberger will be the first female governor of Virginia.

Mikie Sherrill will be the first female Democratic governor of New Jersey.

I’m looking forward to seeing these strong, dedicated leaders deliver a bright future for their states. 🎉

I used to say this trial was a waste of taxpayer dollars, but I think it’s totally worth it.

Remember: if you share numbers when less than 50 percent of precincts are in and the results haven’t been adjusted for what’s still coming in, you are part of the problem.

Holder: The Supreme Court is a broken institution. And it’s something that has to be part of the national conversation in ’26 and in ’28.

If there is a Democratic trifecta in 2028—and I think the possibility of that is pretty good—Supreme Court reform has to be on the table.

YES PLEASE

Opinion | Trump’s ‘Great Gatsby’ Party Did Not Accept SNAP

What the fork is this?!?

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 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.

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”
- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

This is flat out false. SNAP cannot be used for that. It’s not permitted under federal law and no states have an exemption for it.

Karoline Leavitt officially announced the "Launch of a large-scale investigation to find the people behind 'No Kings.'"

I've saved her some time.

Excerpt from NY Times article: They said their vaccine skepticism was not shaken at all by the measles outbreak in West Texas this year, the largest in the United States since 2000. Hundreds were infected. Two young girls died. Instead, parents spoke of their belief that a financial motivation must be behind the number of required vaccines, echoing Mr. Kennedy. “You used to trust the government’s science — in my opinion, it’s all money driven now,” said Gianni Amato, who is married to a nurse and wonders if his son became autistic as a result of being vaccinated.

Of all the anti-vaxx arguments, this one is IMO the stupidest. There aren't a large number of childhood vaccinations because pharma makes money on them, there's a large number of childhood vaccinations because there's a large number of childhood diseases. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/27/u...

This is so fucked up.

For the record, Melissa's main targets of Jamaica, Haiti, Cuba, and the Bahamas account for, respectively, 0.016%, 0.0089%, 0.064%, and 0.0038% of the global annual total of CO2 emissions.

I wonder what happened in January? Anyone anyone

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

wow, which common vaccine was it?

Don’t laugh at this. Don’t dismiss it. They’re serious. Prepare for it. And get ready to fight against it.

If Joffrey Baratheon grew up to be an American president, this is pretty much what it would look like.

"nearly half..." ???

it's an open book test.

This is such an insane thing to say.

Hoodline: "San Francisco Crime Rates Plummet Amid Joint Law Enforcement Efforts"

📉 San Francisco is on track for the fewest number of homicides and street encampments in decades
📉 Crime rates are down across California
✅ State and local partners are using increased funds to hold drug traffickers accountable

We're getting the job done on public safety.

No Kings Day 2 proved America is still great - just badly in need of adult supervision.
