NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.

So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.

Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

A populous, swing county replaced its GOP sheriff on Tuesday after months of controversy over his joining ICE’s 287(g) program. The Democratic winner promises he’ll end the contract.

Today in history, 1898: After voters elect a biracial city council in Wilmington, N.C., a mob of white supremacists overthrows the local government in a coup d’état. The mob also killed as many as 300 black residents in what is known as the Wilmington Massacre. /1

Starting to think that putting a deeply partisan sycophant with no housing policy expertise in charge of US housing policy was not a great idea.

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.

For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.

The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

It’s the same old same old. Republicans do a tantrum and break the dishes. The Democrats clean it up. It’s an abusive relationship.

It was “NO” yesterday.
It’s “NO” today.
And it’ll be “NO” when it gets to the House.

I’m not voting for something that forces millions of Americans to choose between seeing a doctor and putting food on their table.

People like this guy are the ones in charge of the Republican party. There are some more reasonable ones in the grassroots, but they have no power. All policy is being driven by people like Joel Webbon.

Good to see two of our stand-up governors standing together on this one. (As they have on many other issues.)

@governor.ca.gov just weighed in to similar effect.
This is not a deal — it's an empty promise.

Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families.

Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Also some kind of national voter ID law, some anti-trans nonsense, and probably some nasty changes to WIC/SNAP. There's a lot bad that they would plausibly have an easy road to do with a 50 vote threshold.

We still need to fight like we have a chance to stop this because we literally had eight Dems vote and if even one votes no it doesn’t go through on the next vote

What I mean is there is another vote that takes 60 votes before this passes the Senate. And we only need one d or one r to flip

Thank you New Jersey for picking this leader and allowing her to send a very clear message about what "real Americans" (TM) want.
This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.
