Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

RFK Jr had committed to Bill Cassidy, as a condition to win his vote, that he would keep website language.

Cassidy in February: “If confirmed… CDC will not remove statements on their website pointing out that vaccines do not cause autism.”

Note the language in second photo.

This is pretty amazing. This guy just won a solid victory in Bucks County, PA, one of the most important swing counties in the country, by *explicitly and deliberately* making his race *all about* nationalizing ICE raids. Confirms the point about this now being a winning issue for Dems.

There is never just one victim.
He is still teaching and mentoring students. Harvard should remove him from the classroom and start a disciplinary process immediately.

Look, I know we're all sick of hearing "if this had happened with any other president ..." but it's absolutely true and absolutely can't be forgotten.

For some reason, this nation gives this idiotic spoiled brat a free pass from things that would destroy the administration of any other person.
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

It is sickening to see someone trafficking in such hate and prejudice while proudly displaying a Jewish star necklace. You must not oppress the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. Just the most basic of Hebrew school lessons was too hard for her apparently.
Has anyone written a piece on how Batya Ungar-Sargon ended up like this? On this particular interview she also told Megyn Kelly that she thought the United States should ban ALL foreign students.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

And yet The NY Times falsely perverted and perseverated on HER emails. The rot is deep.
In *2015* NYT reporter Landon Thomas Jr. had emails from Epstein alleging he had dirt on Donald--photos and accounts of him canoodling with and ogling young girls.

Given all that's transpired in the last decade, it seems like journalistic malpractice that we're only seeing this now.

Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?

The solution to the male loneliness epidemic is attending a local Democratic Party canvassing event.
WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

Gen Z women aren't playing around.

Good morning. Every reporter should be asking Kathy Hochul if she’s asked for Jay Jacobs resignation yet. He didn’t support the Dem nominee for mayor, he didn’t invest in Long Island, and because of that we were a lone red wave in an otherwise blue sea. We need change now. He has to go before 2026.
Brilliant night for Democrats across the board (NJ, VA, NYC, PA, GA, CA), but complete failure on Long Island*. NYs and national Dems have put up with the incompetence of Jay Jacobs for decades. Kathy Hochul must ask for his resignation.

Republicans who think your seat is safe: no it's not
Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

If NYC can publish 60% of the vote by 9:40, surely Nassau county can publish a single damn number? The incompetence and lack of transparency folks.

The irony is that a century ago, the exact same kind of religious bigotry that Cuomo’s embraced down the stretch — we can’t elect someone from that faith or they’ll impose it on all of us! — was aimed squarely at Catholics like Cuomo.
Boy Mamdani's race is really a vivid reminder that anti-Islamic bigotry is 100% accepted in US public discourse. People don't even bother dog whistling, it's just right out in the open.

@ballotready.org you never updated your website to have our new Nassau County (New York) legislative maps after we had to redistrict. Folks are getting the wrong info when they go to your website. May be too late for today, but can you please update?

Good morning and happy election day! As we face a federal government led by a wannabe dictator that is increasingly lawless and authoritarian, we must use state and local elections to protect our country. Get out and vote for the Democratic ticket, yes on prop 50 in CA, and retain the judges in PA.

People sometimes are surprised that we take our kids canvassing with us during GOTV. This is why. They may not understand every issue, but they understand that we all need to help make this country better for our neighbors and our future. (Also, they really like ringing doorbells.)

Early voted for Democrats today and then knocked another 68 doors with the family. Local elections matter. If you have one this Tuesday, vote!!
