Existential Crisis Barbie

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Hearing this kind of righteous language directed at a right-wing government from the left should be a powerful thing for people disheartened by the ongoing media equivalence of "Christian" with "deranged bigot."

Will we see any acknowledgment whatsoever that the media's massive shift to the right doesn't reflect where the country is right now?

hahahahaha Jesus no

AOC should absolutely primary Schumer in ‘28.

Has a Republican won a race that was seriously contested so far tonight?

Actually asking!

The fascists are not inevitable. They're not unstoppable. They're not all powerful. They want you to think that, but millions turned out last month to call their bluff. And millions turned out today to claim our power. We will win.

CONGRATULATE MAYOR MAMDANI, CUZ HE WILL GOVERN THE CITY FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT 4 YEARS

What we know so far, 8:30pm

—Democrats flip VA-Gov & VA-LG.
—Also means Dems take VA trifecta.
—Dems in good shape to win NJ-Gov.
—Dems appear to flip 2 statewide offices in Georgia.
—JD Vance's half-brother loses in Cincinnati.
—Last GOPer in Orlando council gone.
—PA: Dem justices up big so far.

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

A COMPLETE AND TOTAL REPUDIATION OF TRUMP AND MAGA

The voters, after 10 months of Republican government: holy fucking shit get me outta here

this is objectively hilarious

THE PEOPLE TRUE TO LIBERTY.
NEW YORK REDEEMED!
SHE REPUDIATES CUOMO.
AN AVALANCHE OF FREEMEN.
SHOUT BOYS SHOUT, VICTORY IS OURS, FREEDOM IS TRIUMPHANT.

Blumenthal: We’re going to continue finding more of the ballroom donors who evidently didn’t want their names revealed. And let me name them: BlackRock, Susquehanna International, Nvidia, OpenAI, Vantive, and Extremity Care.

And so, we will use every possible resource to expose this corruption to

The GOP vile anti-trans campaign failed miserably. Earle-Sears made it her dominant issue - and lost hugely

Should be duly noted by the punditry (but don't count on that)

A chart of YouGov polling data with the headline: "Three-quarters of Americans think SNAP benefits should be paid during the shutdown." The chart's sub-headline is: "Should SNAP benefits be paid during the government shutdown? (%)."

U.S. adult citizens 74% | 14%

Independents 74% | 14%

IT’S ELECTION DAY, AMERICA!

Remember to get out and VOTE!!!

He knows the Sunday show producers are busy stacking their rundowns. Gotta feed them topics that aren’t ‘shutdown’, ‘SNAP’, ‘inflation’ or ‘Epstein’.

Trump hosts Gatsby themed Halloween party for his millionaire buddies as Americans across the country go hungry.

Very on brand for him.

🎵Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again🎵

It’s truly wild how dumb he thinks we all are

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown.

Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.
