The most grief-stricken and traumatized electorate in the country, who saw Trump admin’s chaos and cruelty up close ⬇️
“In Hennepin and Ramsey counties — where the federal agents were most active during Operation Metro Surge — voters turned out in force, casting roughly 122,000 more ballots combined than in the last midterm election."
“In Minnesota, voters carried memories of frightened children, disrupted schools and fears for relatives into the voting booth Tuesday, with many citing last winter’s federal immigration crackdown as they backed Democrats by striking margins.”

Every state shifted left, with especially large swings in parts of the South and in states with large Latino populations. But, the shift toward Democrats was felt across the country.

Victoria Spartz, the first Ukrainian-born member of the U.S. Congress, lost her reelection bid today.
Born in Ukraine’s Chernihiv region, which continues to face relentless russian attacks, Spartz became a MAGA Republican and voted against a major aid package for Ukraine in 2024.
It takes a special kind of person to betray two countries at once.

Annie Andrews is explicitly condemning the starvation of Gaza. Turek, Hamilton, and Talarico support an arms embargo on Israel. Abdul is, well, Abdul. Scott Colom in deep red Mississippi is boasting about not taking a dime from AIPAC. Troy Jackson called it a genocide. A wine mom in Tennessee ran on Medicare for all and ending the genocide in Gaza and won in a Trump +24 district. The era of Democrats being blindly pro Israel is OVER. The average Democrat thinks Israel is as bad as Russia.

I prefer a president who understands the economy, affordability, job growth, international relations, healthcare - etc. Broken windows we can handle ourselves.

Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed on Iran: “There is one person in the world that has been trying to get this war fought for nearly all of our lifetimes. It is the Prime Minister of a foreign government. Gets invited to the Situation Room where he gets to dupe the dumbest fucking guy who ever was president and then now we’re in a war that everybody could’ve told you was a dumb idea to fight”

James Talarico traces 50 years of trickle-down back to one 1971 document, the Powell memo, a corporate blueprint to buy power
“In fact, you can, you can pinpoint this one document called the Powell memo, 1971.”
“But if you read this memo, it's basically a blueprint for how corporate interests can start to dismantle the Great Society and the New Deal”
“They're going to spend massive amounts of money in our politics, buying politicians in both parties, elevate corporate voices in media, appoint sympathetic judges.”
“And that has really been the story of the last 50 years in this country, last five decades.”
