YOU know, but just emphasizing to anyone who doesn’t.

Yes, TFG campaigned for death AFTER the exoneration.

This is MAGA values that NYC just voted against.
This is a huge, and very satisfying win!

Want gun sanity? Vote for Democrats.

The only advantage of sitting next to a putz who watches Fox is seeing Democrats win.

"It is not lost on Yusef Salaam that, as he prepares to give his victory speech tonight for a seat representing Harlem on the New York City Council, former President Donald J. Trump is facing multiple criminal trials…“Karma is real and we have to remember that,” Salaam said."

Yusef Salaam, one of the members of the ‘Central Park 5,’ who later became known as the ‘Exonerated 5,’ has officially won the City Council District 9 seat in New York, NY. Salaam ran unopposed in the Harlem district after winning the Democratic primary election earlier this year in a landslide.

Republicans are doomed. Because no one wants what they want.

Democrat Brandon Sakbun--27-year-old former Army Ranger—wins Terre Haute mayoral race, beating four-term incumbent Republican Duke Bennett. @INDems Chairman Mike Schmuhl has compared him to Pete Buttigieg. (Buttigieg did not become mayor of South Bend until age 29.)

America rejects the MAGA agenda.

Democrats retain control of Virginia state Senate. Will block Glenn Youngkin’s proposed abortion ban.

Danica Roem is now Virginia's first transgender Senator.

Democrats retain the governor's office in Kentucky.

Ohio votes to protect reproductive rights.

Abortion rights have been on the ballot in multiple states since Roe was overturned.

Each time, abortion rights have won, with Ohio set to enshrine abortion rights in their constitution tonight.

Kansas: 59-41
Vermont: 76-24
Montana: 52-47
Michigan: 56-43
Kentucky: 52-47
California: 67-33
Ohio: 55-45 likely

The majority of the US considers access to abortion a fundamental right.

Conservatives cling to this ‘silent majority” nonsense, and it’s just that. Nonsense.

Abortion is healthcare.

This appears to be an excellent night for US moderates -> progressives. Reactionaries and fascists can suck it. Again.

#Elections #USPol

Marijuana legalization: Decision Desk HQ projects #Ohio Issue 2 has passed.

Wanna ruin a Republican’s night?

Let ‘em know that the KY Governors Race has predicted the Presidential election in the previous 5 cycles.

What’s up with Speaker Johnson not reporting a bank account?

Johnson’s recent launch from obscure congressional backbencher to one of the most powerful people in the country has come with a wave of scrutiny. Reporters are combing through his past and finding weird stuff — his 👉curious arrangement with his son to monitor each others’ digital devices for porn, for instance.


One less salacious but perhaps more consequential discovery involves his finances. In his most recent annual financial disclosures, released last year, 👉Johnson reports♦️ no assets at all♦️.


♦️Zero.♦️


There are 👉no retirement accounts, no money-market funds, no stocks, no crypto, not even a basic checking or savings account.

Even more peculiar, his disclosures have 👉never listed any checking or savings accounts on any of the forms he has filed going back to 2016, the year he was elected to Congress.


This is confusing. Where is his congressional salary being deposited? How is he paying his bills?


Johnson was asked on Sunday about his lack of a bank account during an interview on Fox News.

“I’m a man of modest means,” he replied, deflecting.

He said he had previously worked at nonprofits.

He noted that he also has👉 either four or five children (which is a whole other story).

“We have a lot of expenses,” he said, citing multiple tuition bills for those kids.

He then pivoted to talking about his upbringing as the son of a firefighter

Andy Beshear has been an excellent governor for the state of Kentucky and he deserved reelection. He has an excellent future ahead of him down the line as well.

MAGA is a GOP primary power, but mostly a general election cancer. Most people look at MAGA and do not want to be associated with them. And that carries over to the ballot box.

Don’t look at polls. Look at results.

Democrat Andy Beshear wins reelection in Kentucky governor’s race |
