Just pointing out that Hakeem Jeffries got TWO HUNDRED AND TWELVE House Democrats to hold the line.
Not one House Democrat cracked.
Not one House Democrat caved.
I’m going to remember that.

I agree with Ed. This is deeply concerning. This is not a good indicator for British democracy.
I had my disagreements with the BBC under Tim Davie but he was a decent man doing a difficult job.
To see Trump's White House claiming credit for his downfall and attacking the BBC should worry us all.

I'm starting a new paid job tomorrow. I'm 58 and have only worked part-time during exam seasons since 2016. New job includes looooong commute. Am quite nervous. Wish me luck, anyone who sees this. 🙏 Also, new job asked about social media, but didn't ask about Bluesky. 😁 Hoping I can stay here!!!

Democrats and Independents, if you don’t show up for your candidate, you’re helping their opponent.
We don’t want Tuesday’s story to be, “They were polling far ahead but lost because their most enthusiastic voters didn’t get their ballots in.”
We’ve seen this play out before.

There’s a lot of fear in our country right now.
But Día de los Muertos reminds us that love casts out fear.
This is the Texas I know. This is the Texas we’re fighting for.
