Last year after the election, I reflected: "When we fight, we winโ€”but sometimes the fight takes awhile."

Last night, we saw Democratic victories across our nation. I am so proud of these enthusiastic, principled, inspirational leaders who will continue to fight for our nation, ideals, and progress.

Just left the latest hearing in Jim Comey's criminal case. It did not go well for DOJ

The magistrate judge scolded them for an "indict first, investigate second" posture and ordered them to turn over reams of material โ€” including all grand jury info โ€” to Comey's team

Mamdani: My message to I.C.E. Agents and to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate the law, you must be held accountable.

Oh, you simple-minded, wheezing gargoyle . . . you were very much on the ballot. You are blamed for the shutdown. You are blamed from SNAP shutting down. You are blamed for a bad economy. And numerous people interviewed last night mentioned that seeing the East Wing destroyed motivated them to vote.

speaks volumes that Trump's response to tonight's resounding defeat is to demand Republicans redouble efforts to rig elections

That Texas gerrymander isnโ€™t looking so smart anymore, now is it?

If your government thinks the Pope โ€œdoesnโ€™t know what heโ€™s talking aboutโ€ when he defends migrantsโ€™ dignity, the world should see the warning sign. The US is no longer leading on human rights. Itโ€™s suppressing them.

Of course the risk of doing radical mid-decade gerrymandering for Rs in midterms always was that they weakened a lot of formerly safe Repub districts by moving R voters into Dem districts, which would backfire spectacularly if you have a blue wave scenario - making it a tsunami.

Democratic party leadership has been on autopilot for ten years, they weren't losing to fascism, fascism isn't popular enough for them to lose to fascism, they were allowing it to fill the void where their leadership should have been. Tonight we're seeing that we have other options. They should too.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. Itโ€™s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. Weโ€™ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Everyone should pay careful attention to the Maine voter ID ballot measure (Prop 1). It is on track to lose -- thereby proving that the GOP claims that voter ID laws are overwhelmingly popular is a lie. Perhaps now the legacy media will stop repeating that nonsense.

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.

It didn't matter.

Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

Consider this. A judge ordered a president to feed hungry children. The president doesnโ€™t want to do that. He was ordered to do that.

What happens when you distill 2025 into a single social media post?

This.

This is what you get.

Attn Pennsylvania voters: Reports are coming in of signs near polling places reading โ€œNo Kings, No Retentionโ€ with a crown-slash logo. These signs are fake and misleading, part of a disinformation push. In Pennsylvania, you should vote YES to retain the Supreme Court justices on the ballot.
