DuPage Dems Chair here… we’re leading in 48 of 49 partisan races and only down in the one by 35 votes. Several of our townships have never had an elected Dem, and it’s sweep after sweep tonight.

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator. In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

I have no patience for this temporizing. People are being summarily shipped off into slavery in central america under the imprimatur of the US government right now. Canada—Canada!—is putting itself on a war footing. We’ve been off the map and in uncharted territory for the last 250 miles.

At some point the press needs to stop adopting right-wing framing that this is a "DEI purge" and call it what it is — white supremacist violence against our collective past. www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/...

Mahmoud Khalil should be at home with his pregnant wife. Instead, he's been illegally abducted & had his constitutional right to free speech & due process stripped. We're demanding his immediate release and we cannot allow this abuse of power to go unchecked. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Republicans are all in on the Department of Grandma Elimination

I’m here for anyone who’s

It’s like someone in a brainstorm said, “So, if the president is a convicted felon, what should that mean for the cabinet?”

This headline tells you NYT journalists don't watch Fox News for their job. Hegseth is a boiled-brain psychopath who emceed the Jan. 6 pregame rally, spread lies about the Paul Pelosi attack, and was an early adopter of the "deep state" conspiracy theory. He's not a fucking hero "outside the norm"

Six-year-old daughter after being told of the election result this morning: “If Donald Trump is going to be president, does that mean everybody gets to do crimes?”

Yankees in disarray

i think the biggest blindspots among pundits and “savvy” political journalists are abortion and jan. 6. they don’t think they are significant and to some extent they don’t want them to be

So happy for this www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/...

these people do not intend to ever lose power again

If the guy says to his supporters, in public, “Hey, I’m going to lie about my position on abortion to try to win the election” — and they all understand that and he will face zero pushback on the position because they know it’s a lie — maybe don’t push-alert the lie

the supreme court is bad folks

i think that a lot of people in political media *want to believe* that the broad public wants a "moderate abortion compromise" — defined as between what Democrats want and what Republicans want — despite the clear evidence that the broad public wants mostly-unregulated access to abortion services.

The New York Times needs a special editor whose only job is to read the headline and if they say “What the fuck are you talking about?” the reporter has to start over
