Wilson took a 1,976-vote lead over Bruce Harrell. With a maximum of 1,320 ballots remaining, it is mathematically impossible for Harrell to catch up.

The Supreme Court decided to keep SNAP payments on hold.
Democrats caved on ACA subsidies in part to give SNAP benefits to people and instead, they will get neither.

Democrats caved again. Right after the electorate handed them massive wins across the country.
2026 is the year for progressives. Centrist politicians share the same billionaire donor base as MAGA.
Therefore, Centrists will always listen to billionaires over voters. Vote them out. No more excuses.

US Supreme Court rejects bid to overturn same-sex marriage right
The U.S. Supreme Court rejected on Monday a bid by a former Kentucky county official to overturn its landmark 2015 ruling legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide, as the justices steered clear of the contentious case some 3-1/2 years after its conservative majority reversed abortion rights.

If Democrats reopen the government for a whisper of a promise to hold a vote on ACA subsidies, then the shutdown was pointless in the first place.

i will repeat: this is psychological torture for SNAP recipients.
NEW: The Trump admin told states it must immediately "undo" the work to provide full food stamp benefits, or face penalties. The feds sent this in a late-night memo, only adding to the chaos and confusion around SNAP. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/09/b...

Without LGBT New Yorkers, Cuomo might’ve won. Mamdani’s genuine and relentless support of trans rights was not only morally correct, but an electoral necessity.
Centrist dems want buses running over LGBT people. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social wants free and clear bus lanes instead. The difference won him the election.

I thought a strip of paper on the floor was a misplaced fortune from a fortune cookie and picked it up. Turned out it was from the paper shredder, but it still offers good advice. "Keep your existing."
