"The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest"

Brilliant. Should be a model everywhere

If the sub didn’t split, you must acquit!

What's happening in TX-18 is more obscene than not seating Grijalva during pro formas. Turner died in March. Abbott delayed the special election until yesterday, and now it goes to a runoff early *next year.*

Congress can and should require special elections to be held within 90 days of a vacancy.

YES. When asked what Dems have gotten wrong, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social says, "We need to bring back working people as the focus of our party."

I hope someone is writing "12 Hangry Men" about the sandwich guy jury

The Mississippi state legislature begs to differ. 😏

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.

Today would be a good day to fund the ACA and end the GOP shutdown.

SNAP benefits will be gone, small businesses will suffer, insurance premiums will double, air traffic will be delayed/halted: All of these things are happening because when the gov't shutdown ends, the Epstein Files get released.

NEW: Mississippi Democrats broke the Republican Party's supermajority in the state Senate tonight for the first time since 2011.

It came as Democrats flipped 2 Senate seats and 1 House seat.

“Mississippi just broke the supermajority—and the people have taken back their power,” the party says.

One for you cartographers, geographers and map curators...

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

With the signings margins and turnout, Texas redistricting may blow up in their face.

7 districts that were redistricted are now competitive.

Per Newsweek poll 10/21, lardass is -3 in Texas.

Republicans shitting their pants.

HELL TO THE YES, California’s PROP 50 which was designed to counter illegal election rigging by fascist MAGA republicans in Texas has officially PASSED!!!

All blue states should be prepared to do this same exact thing when these crooks try more of their schemes. 💙🙏

Trump tries to build a fake wall of inevitability around everything he does.

Today, voters - literally from sea to shining sea - broke through all that, and this is just the beginning.

Take your time, Officer Larimore. Now, tell us which sub sandwich best fits the description of the one that attacked you that night

"Speaker Johnson, it looks as though the president is currently stabbing you with a knife. Do you have any comment?"

"Well, look, this is the first I'm hearing about it. As you know, I've been really busy not doing my job, so I just don't know enough about this alleged stabbing to make a comment."

Teen Vogue did some great journalism around immigration detention and enforcement. Sounds like corporate has now killed that off.

The media landscape shrinks even further.

Newsom: They did not expect California. They did not expect all of you. They thought we were going to write an op-ed, have a candlelight vigil, maybe do a rally. They poked the bear and the bear is poking back

Got mustard all over the ICE guy's new camo gear. That's bound to be good for two or three years in the pen.

A student thanked me this week for assigning a reading from Harriet Jacobs.

Regardless of what the Texas Legislature thinks, or what a few "parents" may say they think, our students actually want to learn, and they want to learn all of it. 🗃️

Thank you Congressman Neguse for laying it plain.
