BIG result, folks:

Bucks County, Pennsylvania, was ground zero for the conservative takeover of school boards & anti-LGBTQ policies in 2021, on the Central Bucks and Pennridge boards.

Dems flipped both boards back in 2023.

Tonight, Dems have ousted *all* Republicans from both school boards.

Perhaps major media outlets should pay attention to what happened tonight and recognize that bending the knee to Trump or pandering to a MAGA audience they’ll never win over is not the path forward, morally, journalistically or financially.

AOC: I think that Americans are appalled by what they are seeing coming out of this administration. They are appalled by the cowardice of congress, by these Republican majorities… I think that they are they see Donald Trump now for who he is, which is a handmaiden to billionaires

News for Ackman: do the math and understand that even if every Sliwa vote had gone to Cuomo, it would not have put him over the top.

Several hundred kids just marched past my house because John Marshall High is doing an anti-ICE walk out.

LA's tradition of high schoolers using their voices to push back on racism and inequality is really an inspiring thing.

Meanwhile they're pepper-balling priests, shooting people who happen to get in their way, ramming bystanders' cars, and violently detaining citizens.

The officer Sandwich Guy is charged with assaulting testifies that he could feel the impact of the sandwich through his ballistic vest, and it “exploded all over my uniform.” He says he could “smell the onions and the mustard.”

A stacked bar chart of YouGov polling data with the headline: "Approval and disapproval of Trump's job performance."

The chart has the sub-headline: "Do you approve or disapprove of the way Donald Trump is handling his job as President? (%)."

10/ So bottom line: 8 months after Trump starts a massive trade war with China:

- U.S. factory jobs declining
- U.S. families paying thousands for tariffs
- China makes not a single concession
- The world watches Xi bully Trump into surrender

Awesome.

This is deeply sad, journalistically. Teen Vogue has done much brave political coverage in an age when few outlets are willing.

Lex McMenamin (they/them) @leximcmenamin.com · 1d

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

The GOP is fully dependent on unfair, unrepresentative minority rule, and they know it.
