#Aftyn didn’t win 😢 but there is a very good argument that it was a 🌊 🌊 🌊 in 🔴 TN-07.

NYT chart below shows EVERY county in #TN-07 shifted blue. Article has details on the points shift to Dems ranging from a low of 6.9 in Wayne Cty. to a high of 20 in Davidson Cty.

“How votes compare with Trump vs. Harris” “The map below shows how votes cast in the Seventh District compare with votes cast in the 2024 presidential election in the same area. Only areas that have reported almost all of their votes are shown.” The map shows that all counties in TN-07 shifted toward Dems using a blue arrow pointing left to graphically signify the shift.

After GOP map passed, Cook moved both the 1st and 3rd Districts to "Likely Republican" since it wasn’t clear where Rep Dan Davis (D) — whose hometown of Snow Hill is now in the 3rd District — would run. Davis confirmed he's running in NC-01. Cook is making the following moves:

NEW #DISCHARGEPETITION RE #UKRAINE in the works!

Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) says he"ll file a discharge petition to force a vote on a Russia sanctions bill. He's VERY unhappy with Trump’s concessions to Russia, and he’s not alone. The petition could get 218 votes! Call your R or D HOUSE Rep

.
Action Item for all, but especially for those in R House Districts - from Jess Craven in Chop Wood Carry Water today. Another Discharge Petition from an R is in the works re: Ukraine: Call your HOUSE Rep about Fitzpatrick discharge petition. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) has alerted the House Republican leadership that he will file a discharge petition to force a vote on a Russia sanctions bill. He is VERY unhappy with Trump’s concessions to Russia, and he’s not the only Republican to be so. There’s a real chance this petition could achieve 218 votes, but we need to make some noise about it. Call your House rep and say: "My name is _____ and I’m a constituent from [zip.] I’m calling to ask the Congressmember to sign on to Rep. Fitzpatrick’s discharge petition that would force sanctions on Russia. Trump’s so-called peace plan, which rewards Russia with new territory, is unacceptable. Will the Congressmember sign the discharge petition? Thanks.”

While baristas are on strike, our job is simple: DON’T SHOP AT #STARBUCKS. They’re striking for fair pay and respect and we’re standing with them. Show the billionaires our solidarity is stronger than their greed. #NoContractNoCoffee

I’m done funding cruelty. Target cuts DEI, Amazon bankrolls this administration, and Home Depot lets ICE terrorize workers on their lots.
My money stays with small shops and people-first businesses. #WeAintBuyingIt

196 million people shop Thanksgiving weekend. If even a fraction of us refuse to bankroll companies enabling harm, the message is seismic. Skip Target, Amazon, and Home Depot.
Protect your community.

No, I’m not “just shopping somewhere else.” I’m taking back my power. My money goes where my values live, and that sure as hell isn’t Target, Amazon, or Home Depot this week. #WeAintBuyingIt

Get beyond the Russian and MAGA propaganda and learn why Ukraine is actually winning. Once people have the facts most people agree Ukraine is actually winning.

New Fox “News” poll that’s absolutely terrible for Trump. In it, they asked: “Who is more responsible for current economic conditions? Trump or Biden?”

Of those polled, 62% blame Trump and, for some wild reason, 32% blame Biden.

Marco Rubio, you are saying two completely different things at the same time. Is it your position that the 20 point plan was a Russian-authored plan or a US-authored plan?

"If you’re an influencer espousing right wing ideology, there’s an entire suite of brands that will pump a seemingly endless amount of money into your channel and help you remain financially solvent while building your platform."

See article w/ gift Bloomberg link

www.usermag.co/p/the-brands...
While the Bloomberg piece focuses on things from the brand side, I’d argue that not only are these conservative influencers making these brands popular, part of the reason many rising conservative influencers are have a platform in the first place is because this right wing brand ecosystem exists to support them.

#Charlotte!
H.S. students at Phillip O. Berry Academy walked out in protest, carrying signs like “No one is illegal on stolen land” & “I’ll take my horchata warm cause ICE sucks.” While masked agents stormed Charlotte & arrested 200, these kids showed more courage than the entire operation.

Trump said he'd save jobs and bring back manufacturing, instead another factory in Iowa is closing, targeting workers that have unionized.

Corporations keep raking in billions while working people suffer.

Thanksgiving in Wisconsin shouldn’t require math homework, but Trump’s price surge means families are counting pennies, chasing sales, and putting food back on the shelf. Every aisle’s a reminder he broke his promises and your budget.

Why did the House vote 427-1 and the Senate 100 to 0 to release the Epstein files? Because YOU were relentless in demanding it. 👏

See what we can all do when we pull together for a common goal? 💯

#Epstein
#RobertHubbell
There is only one explanation for the rapid-fire developments on Tuesday relating to the Epstein files: Trump and his enablers can read polling data. Seventy-five percent (75%) of Americans support the release of all Epstein files. (An additional 13% support releasing some of the files.) It is rare for 88% of the American public to mostly agree on anything.” Robert Hubbell RobertHubbell.substack.com
