Thrilled to have a new Member of Congress in 2027! Congratulations, Congresswoman-elect @ShannonTaylorVA!
I hope at least one of the boats is in the Reflecting Pool to stop vandals
EXCLUSIVE: Pete Hegseth has authorized the D.C. National Guard to begin using boats, several dozen marked police cars, humvees and light medium tactical vehicles in the nation’s capital.

So funny because I was told by the people the AI industry is paying that no one cared about AI

NEW: The AI industry is scrambling to repackage a $10 trillion infrastructure buildout to appease a hostile electorate, that includes:
-No more non disclosure agreements
-Money for schools and cities
-Environmental concessions
-Labor protections
-Codified obligations over voluntary frameworks
-Job training programs
The bottom line: The race is on to see whether Democrats can translate election momentum into binding restrictions or the industry tries to head off tougher rules.

A 124-year-old voting ban designed to silence Black Virginians is finally gone.
While Democrats took control of both chambers of Congress, governors’ mansions, and state legislatures across the country, Virginia overturned its “Jim Crow-era lifetime ban” on voting for people with prior felony convictions. motherjones.com/politics/202…

Normally I’d say that Kobach could get a job in the Trump admin, but I can hear incoming Senate Judiciary chairman Sheldon Whitehouse laughing already.
Another one I missed last night: Kansas AG Kris Kobach down by 11,000 votes.
In 2020, Rs prodded Marshall into the Senate race out of fear that Kobach would win the nomination and blow it. And now they're both #OpenToWork

That’s pretty funny. He is a genius financial engineer. The split is great for shareholders. Changes nothing for patients or anyone who pays for insurance or care.
He is posturing to be able to say “See, we broke up our company. “. Don’t fall for it @HawleyMO @SenWarren
We need to pass the bill now more than ever
CVS CEO David Joyner just said on CNBC that the Break Up Big Medicine legislation by @SenWarren and Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) is one reason he is breaking up his company.

Now that these rigged maps have spectacularly backfired, can we all get on board with banning partisan gerrymandering now?
