Making a list - Grim, Zilani, Stoller, Fang, Greenwald so far. Going to note who among my follows and followers continue to give them credence in the future and sever ties. I have no grace for people who believe women’s bodies are collateral damage along the path to revolution.

Schumer gave trump 4 appeals court judges and zero oversight investigations.
With opposition like Schumer leading the senate, who needs friends?

But here is what I keep coming back to tonight. The American people showed up in numbers we have not seen in a midterm in decades, and they delivered a sweeping rejection of Donald Trump. They did not just flip Congress. They broke through in places that were supposed to be impenetrable. Kansas had not elected a Democratic senator in nearly a century. Texas had not sent a Democrat to the Senate in almost forty years. South Carolina flipped. Iowa flipped. Ohio flipped. Maine flipped. Voters elected the first Black woman governor in American history. The first Native American woman governor. The first Latina governor of Texas. The first Muslim United States senator. The first Black governors of Nevada and Wisconsin. The first woman governor of Minnesota. Each of those results, on its own, would have been a huge headline in a normal era. Together, they show who we really are and also who we are becoming as a country. We did well.
This is what we need to hold onto in the weeks, months, and years ahead. The foundation for what is to come has been poured. We did what we were told we could not do, in states where they said it was impossible, with candidates they never saw coming. The country this man is trying to destroy showed up on Tuesday and proved it is still here, resisting, and capable of doing the most powerful thing a democracy can do: holding the people in charge accountable through the simple, sacred act of casting a vote. We have already made it nearly two years. We are still standing and still pushing back. We are unstoppable. That is why I still have hope for America. And you should, too.
I’ll see you tomorrow,

For all the talk of Medicare for All being on the table, given the massive Black voter turnout, shouldn’t a new version of the Voting Rights Act be priority number one for a Democratic majority or under a trifecta in 2029?
He’s not a sex addict. That’s complete shit. He’s a bully. Rape and sexual assault and constant encroachment on women isn’t because he’s addicted to sex. He enjoys power and control. Sex is not a substance, it’s a tool.

It’s POLITICS 101 that if your political party just SWEPT Texas and Georgia, and won in South Carolina, and is about to win in Mississippi, that you DO NOT APPOINT 2 NEW YORKERS as Speaker of the House and Senate Majority Leader.
It’s so basic.
And it’s so dumb to ignore this.

When you pay taxes for universal healthcare, it's not "paying for lazy peoples' healthcare" you're literally paying taxes for your own healthcare instead of premiums, copays, and deductibles.
Why can't people grasp this?
Look at it as benefitting you and your family, not other people. You're actually saving more money with higher taxes for healthcare than the current for-profit system now.

An incredibly important thread from @vickktoriax.
A reminder that rape myths and victim-blaming don't begin or end in the courtroom. They exist in everyday conversations, often from people who should know better. These attitudes can have a lasting impact on survivors, including whether they ever feel able to speak out or report.

By the way this is not shade to the actual Texas bureau people at the NYT, who are all fabulous journalists. This was written by the NYT fashion critic. Lauren McGaughy wears boots on the regular, come on guys

Colin Jost's wife Scarlett Johansson quit being an Oxfam ambassador because they didn't want her to promote the Israeli, West Bank-based, SodaStream, so she chose the $$$ instead of Oxfam

What's so amazing about this Scott Colom interview is that he just comes out & says something Dems rarely say: *workers need to make more money.* This is a big deal. For decades Dems have been telling workers that to earn more, they need to learn more cnn.com/2026/11/06/politics/…

In 2027 Mexico will implement Universal Healthcare.
Leaving the USA as the only country in N.America without it.
All that money, but the citizens never get any of it.

As Chuck Schumer fights to remain leader of the Senate Democrats, his daughter remains a top lobbyist for OpenAI. prospect.org/2026/09/11/open…

“Jim Crow never had a single federal law.”
Here Stacey Abrams explains very clearly why we are still at risk. #DemsUnited

Never forget, Chuck Schumer and Corey Booker are the reason we dont have SAFE BANKING. One wouldnt allow a vote in the senate and the other said he would lay down on the floor to block the vote. These two individuals are the reason there is no Safe Banking as of today.
