So many predicted close races, which is understandable. But turnout favored the anti-kings…. And blew the predictions up. 2026, and 2028….. stand back and stand by

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

On this beautiful morning in Astoria, I cast my ballot for our city and our future.

I hope you will too.

The Blue Jays’ inspiring playoff run captured the imagination of Canadians. As the Jays advanced in the playoffs, Canadians came to believe in the power of positivity & unity. Let’s carry that spirit with us in the days, weeks, & months ahead as we face serious challenges as a nation.

Just watched The Last Republican again, and it hit me harder than I expected. Within a year I left the military, left Congress, we moved, and gained a son.
It brought back sorrow, anger, even moments I thought I’d buried —

Watching “The Last Republican” Again Brought Back Every Emotion I Thought I’d Buried

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

Blue states are suing to get those funds released. Trump would rather see poor kids starve while he builds his ballroom.

Marco Foster shares a quote from Lawrence O’Donnell: “Even though the Agriculture Department has enough money to continue to fund food stamps during the government shutdown, Donald Trump is ordering them not to fund food stamps. 40% of the people fed by SNAP are children. Donald Trump and Republican senators are basically saying let them starve. Republicans did this.”
The image below shows O’Donnell speaking on MSNBC, with “Republicans did this” displayed beside him.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Donald Trump is telling his DOJ to prosecute people involved in defeating him in 2020. He will claim the 2025 California referendum was fraudulent. He is going to try to impose voter ID and ban mail-in and early voting for 2026.

I will do everything I can in the courtroom and in public to stop him.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social From the videos of NoKings that I've seen, there seems to be few people of color. They probably stayed away because they were afraid of being arrested! IMHO, that's an omen for the mid-terms. Maybe set up a "buddy-system", pairing up "safe" Americans with others to vote?
