California and Illinois law enforcement need to run the plates on Ice vehicles. They are using fake and fraudulent plates for the vehicles they are driving. After towing their unlicensed vehicles give them a ride to the bus station to return home to whatever hellhole they came from.

More people voted in New York City’s election this year than they have in 50 years.

That’s a win for democracy, and a testament to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's inspiring campaign.

Congratulations to the next mayor of the greatest city in the world. 🗽

Colorado Republicans' strategy to rebuild through school board races collapsed on Election Day with sweeping wins for candidates endorsed by teachers unions. The CEA estimates it won 80% of its races. Jennifer Meckles reports:
Polls could be overestimating President Donald Trump’s support following a “huge” miss in the New Jersey gubernatorial race, pollster Nate Silver said. "It was more than twice as large as the overestimation of Hillary Clinton in 2016.”
Nate Silver says polls may be "overestimating" Trump after "huge" miss
Silver lamented that polls were "not great" ahead of Democrats' election sweep on Tuesday.

The New York Times quickly sending out Douthat to argue that Mamdani’s victory doesn’t really matter is so predictable it borders on self-parody.

Remember, folks: Every time the Right wins an election, it’s an undeniable expression of the will of the people. If a lefty wins, it’s just a blip.

Sometime today, Mike Johnson will say, "I've been very busy not watching pornography this morning and I am only just hearing about the voting yesterday so I am unable to comment on all of that right now."

It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican.

It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong.

Millions are awakening to this new reality — and they're speaking up.

The sleeping giant of America is roaring.

If the sub didn’t split, you must acquit!
Defense begins, “This case, ladies and gentlemen, is about a sandwich. A sandwich that according to Agent Lairmore somehow both exploded on his chest in a spray of mustard and onions but also landed intact on the ground still in its Subway wrapper.”

Mamdani: My message to I.C.E. Agents and to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate the law, you must be held accountable.

Raskin: "South Korea gave him some kind of golden crown or something, and then he lowered their tariffs. That is a monarchist mercantilism, that is not the American system."

NEW: Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky has conceded. A stunning defeat for a MAGA media fixture who built a national profile on claims of a "complete gang takeover" of Aurora that led President Trump to visit and falsely proclaim the city "conquered" by an immigrant gang
This is where we are now -- sending our military to foreign food banks because Republicans refuse to feed them. How low can you get?
NEW: The US Army website for its bases in Bavaria, Germany told its soldiers and employees that it might need to obtain free food from the German government during the US government shutdown.

The Army later altered publication to remove a list of food banks, but we have the original text here:
US Army Tells Soldiers to Go to German Food Bank, Then Deletes It
The initial 'Shutdown Guidance' for the US Army Garrison Bavaria included instructions to go to German food banks.

AOC is right. They are so stupid. Truly the dumbest group of politicians and lawyers ever to appear on the national stage.

Former SC Jack Smith has made it clear that not only will he defend himself, he will use the opportunity to present the case against Trump that adverse court rulings denied him

Transportation Sec'y Sean Duffy will order a 10% reduction in scheduled air traffic at 40 major airports on Friday if a deal to end the govt shutdown is not reached.

This will not only hurt individual Americans, it will hurt businesses of all sizes. The timing couldn't be worse for Republicans.
