I mean this is so far pretty close to a 10 out of 10 night for Democrats. Winning everywhere! Statewide in PA and GA, huge margin in VA gov race. Sherrill tracking double digits as well! Mamdani above 50% in a the highest turnout in NYC since 1969. Big pick ups in VA House of Delegates.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas’ Republican House leader on Tuesday dropped efforts to force a redraw of U.S. House districts that would have thrust the state into a widening national battle for partisan advantage in the 2026 elections.

NEVER FORGET: Donald Trump & the GOP REFUSE to negotiate with Democrats for extension of ACA Subsidies which = $32B.

Donald Trump gave $40B to Argentina, 75B to ICE, & TRILLIONS in tax cuts to the 1%. Trump's America!

Don't be distracted by the chaos. Trump’s 2nd term agenda will be more calculated than his 1st.

He's following the playbook of Hungary’s Viktor Orbán to crush democracy, silence dissent & entrench his own power.

Those who lived it say there’s a window to act now. Here’s how we fight back. ⬇️

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.
Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area ICE facility and began to pray.

The masked ICE agents on the roof responded by firing pepper balls, with one striking him in the head

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.

Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn.

We have been sent here to fight for people.
AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

Phase 3 of Trump’s attempt to rig the midterms for an autocratic takeover of the Republic. He says he will sign an executive order on how states must conduct elections and they are required to follow it.

Missouri’s oldest Black bookstore just closed. The Kansas City Defender plans to reopen it as a newsroom and public archive.

Noem is now claiming (falsely) that Sen. Padilla didn't identify himself.

Huh.

I'd ask her to imagine how confusing it must be when masked men with guns don't identify themselves to people they're grabbing off the streets.
