Mayor-elect Eileen Higgins’ win is a testament to what we can accomplish when we organize and compete everywhere.

Democrats have now flipped a seat that was in Republicans’ hands for nearly 30 years.
With her runoff victory tonight, Eileen Higgins will be Miami's next mayor—the first woman in the city’s history and the first Democrat in nearly 30 years elected to the office.

Congrats, Mayor-elect!

JUST IN: Democrats have flipped the mayor's office in Roswell, Georgia, in tonight's runoff.

GOP Mayor Kurt Wilson conceded earlier tonight to Mary Robichaux, the Dem challenging him.

(This is a city in the Atlanta suburbs, the 9th most populous city in Georgia.)

Now we see if the DOJ blocks it...
You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution.

That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk.

Wow.

Agreed. When Trump is in a corner, he doubles down.
I predict Trump will pardon Maxwell as a way to lash out and because it will be the ultimate loyalty test for the GOP (and his base)

While this provides some good news, I am of the opinion this also means Johnson has managed to convince one of the GOP reps to take their names off the discharge petition. If I were a betting person, I'd say it was Nancy Mace. We shall see.
Breaking: Mike Johnson just announced that he'll swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva on Wednesday at 4pm ET.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.
