It’s been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona.
Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear her in because she’s the final vote for the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

More people voted in New York City’s election this year than they have in 50 years.
That’s a win for democracy, and a testament to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's inspiring campaign.
Congratulations to the next mayor of the greatest city in the world. 🗽

It got drowned out in all the good news from last night, but Boston Mayor Michelle Wu became the youngest person to be reelected in the city's history.
She ran unopposed because her opponent--Patriots owner Bob Kraft's son--withdrew a few months ago after realizing he had no hope of winning.

Yet we’re still paying their full salary.

Last night was a thumping from coast to coast. Across the country, voters rejected chaos and cynicism – and chose leaders who are focused on the cost of everyday life.

Oh, you simple-minded, wheezing gargoyle . . . you were very much on the ballot. You are blamed for the shutdown. You are blamed from SNAP shutting down. You are blamed for a bad economy. And numerous people interviewed last night mentioned that seeing the East Wing destroyed motivated them to vote.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.
He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
Wanna fix fraud and abuse?
Fix that.

Conversely, Sliwa saying New York has had socialist mayors before and survived - and he isn't afraid of socialists like he is Cuomo - was cold as hell.
This is the reason Mamdani was correct to say he'd (hypothetically) rank Silwa over Cuomo. To paraphrase Hamilton: Silwa has beliefs; Cuomo has none

Mamdani is not a radical. He has run a tight, smart, fairly standard local campaign. He'll probably get 20 or 30 percent of his platform if he's lucky. The one radical thing he's done is told the Times to go to hell. He has campaigned every step of the way like he doesn't need them, and he's right.
