This morning, the Russians attacked Komyshuvakha with an FPV drone, where emergency rescue operations have been underway for seven days following an aerial bomb strike that killed 55 people. Unfortunately, more people may still be under the rubble. Absolute cynicism and brutality. There was also an overnight attack on the Dnipro region – the Russians struck energy infrastructure, leaving more than 600,000 people in Dnipro and the region without power. In the Kharkiv region, the situation is difficult too. There are widespread power outages across the country. In the Zhytomyr region alone, 140 apartment buildings were left without heating following a Russian strike. Repair work is underway in virtually every affected city and community. I thank the energy workers, utility workers, and every repair crew who are literally working 24/7 to restore water, electricity, and heating supplies to people. In total, this past week alone, Russia has launched 115 missiles of various types, nearly 1,900 guided aerial bombs, and more than 3,000 attack drones against our cities and communities. These are combined strikes involving many ballistic missiles. And a significant portion of the missiles were manufactured this year. We constantly provide our partners with information about Russian enterprises involved in ballistic missile production. In October, Ukraine imposed major sanctions packages on the individuals and legal entities involved. It is very important that they be synchronized across Europe and G7 jurisdictions. If the world does not have enough anti-ballistic capabilities to protect Ukrainian skies, then the missiles must be stopped on the production lines. We count on a strong 22nd EU sanctions package. Thank you to all partners who are truly helping.

The possibility of Scott Colom defeating Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith puts many Black voters somewhere between cautious optimism and outright celebration in a state where nearly 40% of the population is Black but the top representation for generations has been white. to.pbs.org/4BUkqAM

Todd Blanche suggests on @CNNSOTU he will investigate Democrats for “threatening” Republicans: “They’re not even in charge now, saying ‘lawyer up.’” Kash Patel, 2023: “We’re going to come after you.” Steve Bannon, 2024: “You better lawyer up.” Mike Davis, 2025: “Lawyer up.”

It was a great October jobs report, but that doesn't erase this painful fact: Inflation has wiped out all wage gains for 7 straight months. Average wage gains in past year: 3.1% Inflation: ~3.5% (we'll get the latest data Tuesday) In fact, the inflation resurgence has been so strong that it's basically wiped out all wage gains since January 2025. That was the key voting issue in the mid-term elections. #economy #jobs #inflation

How big was the early vote for Dems? Cooper in NC, Talarico in TX and Ossoff in GA all had more EARLY votes than their opponents had in total, per @NBCNews decision desk. Put another way, they could have each received zero election day votes and still won.
