Thank you to those who have served our nation in the armed forces. Today and every day, we honor your courage and your sacrifice. #VeteransDay 🇺🇸

👀 WOW — “Speaker Johnson is stalling Grijalva until Van Epps gets there to cancel out her vote?”

TN-7 nominee @aftynbehn.bsky.social tells us Johnson plans for Van Epps to help him cover up the Epstein files. (His weak answer to NC5 is another clue🕵️ )

Trump tries to build a fake wall of inevitability around everything he does.

Today, voters - literally from sea to shining sea - broke through all that, and this is just the beginning.

Zohran Mamdani wins with >50% of the vote.

Clean sweeps in statewide races in New Jersey and Virginia.

Pennsylvania retains all democratic Supreme Court justices.

California passes prop 50.

This is the best possible outcome that could've happened tonight.

Virginia just flipped the governor's seat from red to blue. Congratulations Abigail Spanberger!

New Jersey, it is the honor of my life to earn your trust to become this great state’s 57th Governor.

I promise to listen, lead with courage, and never forget who I serve.

Legal experts agree that the indictment against me and five others is politically-motivated. Thank you @legaleagle.tv @lizdye.bsky.social for bringing attention to this case.

It’s Election Day! Before you step into a polling booth, be sure to know your rights.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Trump DOJ Indicts Congressional Candidate for Protesting ICE She and five other protesters face up to eight years in prison if convicted.

The regime’s attacks on dissent are escalating. Trump’s goal is to silence opposition through fear, but the American people will never submit to his corrupt rule. The best way to protect our rights is by continuing to exercise them.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Politicians are not bystanders to the affordability crisis. We can lower the cost of living and make life easier for New Yorkers in real and meaningful ways.

FOOD BANK DIRECTOR: “For every meal a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides 9. There’s no way we can meet that gap. We were not built to do this.”

(@TNDemocrats are imploring @GovBillLee to fund SNAP with the billions in reserves as other states are, but he refuses)

Trump let George Santos out of jail just to make it clear that if you're loyal to him, you can get away with anything. This isn't a democracy if one man decides what's a crime and what isn't.

Time for everyone to wake up. This moment is more serious than many want to believe.

The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.

one category of show prep material for TRMS staff is something we've always called "subway reading".

it's something that's not exactly current events or new reporting... but nevertheless relevant food for thought given the news we're in.

Burgundy graphic with text "Military troops shouldn’t be policing civilians." Above the text is an image of the boots of federal forces walking through a street.

President Trump is trying to normalize the use of the military for domestic law enforcement. But as the Constitution makes abundantly clear — turning troops on civilians is an intolerable threat to our liberties.
