The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

I'll repeat it again: Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy were never elected to Congress and should have ZERO say in any conversation about the government shutdown. Zero.

Even Fox is blaming Donald Trump for a potential government shutdown. 🍿

Here’s how to avert a government shutdown—stop taking orders from Trump. Make a deal. President Biden signs it. Magic.

Follow the light steadfastly joyful warriors: The light of America's promise will always burn bright, as long as we never give up, as long as we keep fighting. - Kamala Harris

God i love @propublica.org so much

Dear Bsky: Its apparent that many of you aren't aware of the most impotent gesture in all MAGAtry: The Flipper account. It poses as a Resister account to gain LIB followers and then flips to its true nature: MAGAt. They think this is an own. You vetted just fine - they lied. Please repost!

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who has paid into Social Security their entire adult life and is determined to make sure Republicans keep their filthy fucking hands off of our benefits. Same goes for our Medicare and the Affordable Care Act. HANDS. OFF.

Another Biden Administration accomplishment for ALL Americans that the media will completely ignore...

FACT: Aaron Rodgers, a dumbass jock who knows fuck all about science and medicine and uses the media to spew dangerous conspiracy theories about vaccines to gullible fans who listen to him because he used to be able to throw a football, sucks.

You'll never catch me referring to trump as "president-elect" or even "President" trump. It will always be Convicted Felon trump. Nothing more.

It’s follow Friday ! @danielpayne.bsky.social @erictopol.bsky.social @nytimes.com @thedailyshow.com @billsimmons.bsky.social @muellershewrote.bsky.social @joshtpm.bsky.social

One of my favorite things about this app is how I can post about anything, and not have 500 moronic MAGAts telling me to "cry more." I could almost shed a tear, LOL. 🥹

this is like something a character in Animal Farm would say, and every 6th grader in the classroom would understand why it's wrong www.nytimes.com/2024/11/15/o...

Everyone needs to see this Department of Justice exhibit showing all of the Matt Gaetz venmo payments obtained by the New York Times.

Matt Gaetz's Venmo payments look like an organized crime syndicate

Last year, when I was at MSNBC, I did a 10-minute deep-dive into RFK Jr's anti-vaxxer role in the measles outbreak that killed dozens and dozens of kids in Samoa. I hope every Senator voting in his confirmation process for HHS knows about this crucial and awful story:

Hold the fuck on. Trump voters with preexisting conditions are out there crying now because they JUST realized Obamacare *is* the Affordable Care Act?!? The Affordable Care Act they just voted to repeal cuz they were good thanks to… OBAMACARE?!? Are you fucking kidding me??? I can’t with this.

I have to go to bed, so sadly I'll miss the big moment, but knowing that when I wake up Bluesky will have reached its 20 million-user target is incredibly exciting to me, and I expect too many of you. So glad this place is blossoming! And so glad to be experiencing its blossoming with all of you. 🦋

A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an “anti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

New Stanislaus Co. ballots just tabulated in #CA13: Gray (D) 5,101 Duarte (R) 4,384 Gray nets 717 votes, and trails Duarte by 1,564 votes. Now it pretty much all comes down to Merced...

Newly counted ballots in Chicago, IL continue to shrink Trump's popular vote lead. Today's additions: Harris 21,028 Trump 2,550

As per usual, many of the initial claims of plunges in urban Dem turnout (i.e. "20% down in Chicago") are proving premature; many major cities simply had (and still have) a ton of ballots left to count.

Three things can be true at once. The millions of votes being tabulated post-11/5: 1) Were just as validly cast as those counted on Election Night 2) Won't materially alter the presidential outcome 3) Highlight how underfunded/inefficient many state/local election regimes are

New @CookPolitical: over 153.5M now counted, Trump's popular vote lead down to 1.68%: www.cookpolitical.com/v… Trump 76,666,332 (49.93%) Harris 74,086,596 (48.25%)

To the many who have asked why I'm continuing to track the vote even w/ Election Day weeks in the rearview mirror: 1) it's what we've done every cycle regardless of the outcome 2) every vote matters and helps tell the story of what happened in 2024.

Breaking: newly tabulated Merced Co. ballots cut #CA13 Rep. John Duarte's (R) lead from 1,564 votes to just *227* votes. This is going down to the wire, and an Adam Gray (D) win would cost the GOP another House seat.

There is now a very real possibility of a 220R-215D House breakdown (net +2 for Dems vs. '22 result), w/ Trump seeking to pluck at least three GOP members (Gaetz, Stefanik, Waltz) for administration jobs (217R-215D?).

Newly tabulated ballots in suburban Cook County, IL slightly narrow Trump's popular vote lead. Added to tallies: Harris 11,142 Trump 2,481
