Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

As other people have noted, if you have local food banks, now would be an excellent time to donate cash to them, if you have the cash to spare. We will be upping our donations to food banks and hunger-related charities here in Ohio.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

It's funny how memory works. I was thinking about the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy band Disaster Area who would destroy stars during the climax of their performances. I made a new connection recognizing Douglas Adam's wit, literally naming the band after the Latin for bad star.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

I've seen a child with tetanus, I've treated near fatal infections after chicken pox, and I've pronounced children dead from COVID whose parents refused to have them vaccinated.
We have lost our minds... and are about to lose so many of our precious children.

This is one of the best things I've seen on the threatened gerrymander.
NEW: Texas Republicans have unveiled a new gerrymander to gain as many as 5 seats in next year's midterms.

Republicans in Texas just rolled out their proposed Congressional map that cut 5 Democratic seats out of thin air.
Let’s be clear: these maps are not about representation, it’s a power grab to silence voters and suppress votes.
