PHILLIP: Republicans are saying that Chuck Schumer is afraid of you. Is he?

AOC: I don't think so. Sen. Schumer and I have worked together. I think Republicans are afraid of me and they project their fear onto him. So they're just telling on themselves when they say that.

Reporter: When trump promised that he will give only the bare minimum to New York as a result of this election, what do you say to that?

AOC: I think he should be careful about what cities he threatens because as we see from this electorate—these are not people who take well to threats.

The fascists are not inevitable. They're not unstoppable. They're not all powerful. They want you to think that, but millions turned out last month to call their bluff. And millions turned out today to claim our power. We will win.

This is correct, and what we saw tonight is that the people aren't gonna put up with this shit. The No Kings Era is here to stay.

not to bring the vibe down, but my guess is that after tonight Trump will probably double down on gerrymandering, voter suppression, and intimidation as tactics to disincentivize Dem turnout ahead of next year‘s midterms. (with margins like these, it won’t matter, but it’s a time to be vigilant)

Texas redistricting backfire coming?

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.

I have to seriously think about why someone would choose to elect a sex offender over a muslim. Seems to me it's just more evidence of American hatred and racism!

This is the Cheney obituary to read. www.thenation.com/article/poli...
His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies
As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

A thing you're not seeing if you haven't checked Twitter in the last week is all the political betting markets (Polymarket, Kalshi) are actively caping for Cuomo and spreading Zohran conspiracies on there. Usually this would be a cause for some sort of regulatory oversight but that no longer exists.

Bomb threats to heavily democrat districts sent out on election day, similar incidents targeting democrat prominent polling stations occurred during the 2024 US election. Trump, MAGA, and Israel have been spreading violent rhetoric to discourage or influence voters throughout the campaign.

Abortion has always been on the ballot. Forgetting that has brought us to where we are.
motherjones.com Mother Jones @motherjones.com · 15h
Abortion may not technically be on the ballot in Tuesday’s off-year state elections, but in the post-Roe v. Wade era, abortion is always on the ballot.

In five states, the results will also have major statewide and even national implications for access to reproductive care.
What Tuesday’s elections mean for the future of abortion access
In post-Dobbs America, reproductive rights are always on the ballot, even when they are not.

Are You on Trump’s List of Domestic Terrorists? There’s No Way to Know.
The Trump administration is using NSPM-7 to compile the names of alleged domestic terror groups. It won’t tell us who’s on the list.

This sucks. Teen Vogue has been a real bright spot in political media. I hope the excellent journalists there find a home quickly.

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.

From Bovino's deposition: (1) he calls protestors "violent" if they articulate views hostile to ICE, even if no violence is manifested; (2) he instructs his forces to attack and arrest protestors who express "hyperbolic comments," which is to say, criticism of ICE and Bovino.
