Love him! Absolutely, love him!!

The “Home Goods” White House:

A highlight of last night I'm not seeing much today:

Spanberger, Shirrell, and Mamdani all won clear majorities of young male voters last night.

Tonight, California made it clear: we’re taking back our voice and democracy.

Here’s to proof that when we act together, we win.

Dick Cheney once had an 8-page, single-spaced cease-and-desist letter sent to us at WhiteHouse.Org, which we published but otherwise ignored. He was incensed about his wife's "Biography." I added the following, which was reported on CNN and quoted in The New York Times. #StreisandEffect

This victory speech by Gov-elect Abigail Spanberger is really damn good. Exceptional.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: “The worst thing that I just can't get over is we're not working right now. And I put that criticism directly on the Speaker of the House…It is an embarrassment to me that we're not in session.”

🔥 Big energy in Virginia! Steve Kornacki reports that Abigail Spanberger is crushing it in the Election-Day vote.

She’s outperforming expectations and showing real momentum when it matters most.

It looks like the tide is turning blue in VA! 💙🗳️ #VoteDemToday

Sadly true.

Through @caloes.bsky.social, I'm deploying highly trained @lacofd.bsky.social Urban Search and Rescue teams to Jamaica to help reach victims of Hurricane Melissa.

California stands ready to help when disaster strikes — at home or abroad.

Survivors — and family of survivors — of Epstein and Maxwell's abuse are urging Mike Johnson to swear-in Adelita Grijalva:

"Every day you stall is another day survivors are denied justice, and the American people are denied the truth. Swear in Representative Grijalva and let democracy speak."

This Man Is the Face of the Future Greg Bovino is next.

"Bovino wants the community he is embedded in to see him not as a law enforcement officer but as an occupying military commander. He has not tried to establish a working relationship with the city; he has tried to dominate it."

BREAKING: 20 Jeffrey Epstein victims are urging Mike Johnson to immediately swear-in Adelita Grijalva.

STOP IGNORING THE EPSTEIN VICTIMS!

This is a classic “I’m sorry I got caught, I’m not actually sorry,” situation because we all know he never had any plans to remove it on his own.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

He's calling for Massie to the thrown out of Congress. Come on now. That's about Epstein.

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

The forces of white Christian nationalism are ascendant all over and our newsroom leaders are not only refusing to call it out, they are acquiescing.

AOC: When one party wants the votes of another party. You negotiate, you come to a compromise and you pass a bill. That is schoolhouse rock. And that is how things should be

The OTHER Democratic Demand for Reopening the Government It’s about stopping Donald Trump and Russ Vought—and it can’t happen soon enough.

"Those who study the law and are experts on the balance of power warn that unless Congress reasserts its authority soon, we may end up unable to repair the guardrails that have held our government together for centuries." www.thebulwark.com/p/the-other-...

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

‘I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape.

The house just extended their vacation!

In a democracy based on freedom and the rule of law, we don’t jail public officials—or anyone—because of policy disagreements. We need everyone to repudiate this nonsense because a president cannot act as a prosecutor, judge, jury and dictator.

Jeffries to Lawler: "You're a complete and total embarrassment. You're embarrassing yourself and your district right now. And you're going down to defeat next year."

Schiff: "If a president in secret can put names on a list and kill them, then there is no war power still retained by Congress, and there's no check on an executive who may drag us into another war."

While the shutdown goes on, troops are in U.S. cities and the economy begins its descent, Donald Trump is focused on Amelia Earhart, the pilot who disappeared about 90 years ago. What’s next on his priority list, the Bermuda Triangle? #ProudBlue
