This is a State Senate district just outside of Fort Worth that Trump carried by 20 pts last year. If Texas Dems can get their act together and pump even the slightest amount of real money into this race (admittedly a big if), it's winnable.

Bucks County, Pennsylvania, was ground zero for the conservative takeover of school boards & anti-LGBTQ policies in 2021, on the Central Bucks and Pennridge boards.
Dems flipped both boards back in 2023.
Tonight, Dems have ousted *all* Republicans from both school boards.
Lower-profile races where Ds are doing very well are in Texas
loooow turnout and Ds are combining for 84% in the CD18 special (Harris got 69%)
+The Dem is overperforming Biden's margin in the SD9 special in Tarrant (where they don't usually do well in low-turnout races)
BREAKING: Democrat Johnny DuPree has flipped a Republican-held Mississippi Senate district in a special election.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email
Doc told me that because the pain wasn't coming in exactly the way he expected (and has never experienced) he didn't beleive it was a uti. I begged.
I get that we overproscribe antibiotics. But sometimes, we gotta fucking beleive people!
100% agree. I'm prone to UTIs. I am aware of this, have experienced many, and have other long term medical issues that will keep me prone to UTIs. Last time I had one I got lectured by the urgent care doc who almost refused to give me antibiotics even with visible blood in my urine.

you think about the scale of the Wilkes and Dunn empire and you just kind of go blank at the way they have their hands in everything www.nytimes.com/2024/10/02/m...
