Voters made clear that they are over the mean and divisive culture wars. Candidates who supported making school safe for all kids are IN. Candidates who ban books and attack trans kids are OUT.

While this proposal offers huge compromises to Republicans, it shows that Democrats are serious about ending the Trump Shutdown with a deal that addresses the needs of working families. 🧵

#BREAKING: Justice Jackson has issued an "administrative" stay, temporarily pausing a district court order that would've required the USDA to continue using contingency funds to pay SNAP benefits.
The stay expires 48 hours after the First Circuit rules on USDA's request for a stay pending appeal.

Local reporting from Trinidad and Tobago. I wonder if this is related to the sudden resignation of the U.S. Military Southern Command yesterday, which is in charge of the naval operations in the region.

Something that makes me truly sad about this moment is that it's a missed opportunity to come together for real gun reform. But the White House isn't interested in doing that.
Senate Democrats should introduce a “Melissa Hortman day of remembrance” and see if Republicans object to it.
