Trump's reference to the "enemy within" is not about immigrants. If you still think this is about immigrants, you're missing the plot. Trump has declared war on Americans who believe in democracy--all Americans who who oppose his incipient dictatorship. The majority of us.

There are 1,700 ballots that need signature confirmation. That is enough to change the election.

Go. Check. Your. Ballot.

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.

YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

Seattle’s likely new Mayor Elect 💖
A lot of people have been calling me the
@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social of Seattle. But where Zohran is charismatic, telegenic and stylish, I've spent my whole adult life looking pretty dumpy. To look more mayoral, I enlisted my friend Andrew Ashiofu, who took me to one of Seattle's premier boutiques.

Q. What is ballot 'curing' and why does it matter in Seattle this year?

A. If a voter didn’t sign their ballot envelope before mailing it, it’s not counted until they “cure” this error. They can do it online. TEXT people who live in Seattle to inform them.

If there’s a problem with your ballot, your vote can still be counted. The deadline is 4:30 p.m. Nov. 24. And this election, it might matter more than in most.

91 votes separate the candidates. 91!!! (For you kids, that's 24 more than 67). It has never been more important to make sure your vote counted in the Seattle Mayoral election! It's quick and easy to check, and quick and easy to fix if there's an issue! ⬇️⬇️⬇️
HEY! Did you vote for the Mayor of Seattle and think that you're DONE with this election already? Well, I'm here to tell you you're NOT! There's 1,794 ballots from Seattle alone that aren't counted due to signature issues! But good news: you can check and FIX IT if it's you!

Katie Wilson saw in the strong victory for Prop 1A (social housing) a rejection of Bruce Harrell, who featured prominently in the ads for the competing measure, Prop 1B. When other big names refused to run, assuming wrongly that Harrell was a shoo-in, Wilson saw an opportunity and took it.

Funny... nobody that's up in 2026 voted for it. None of the usual squished, like Warner and Coons voted for it....

But the retirees gave then cover.

This looks like it was specifically planned by Schumer, or there is a large group going against his wishes.

The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.
so currently defectors are:

Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)
