Some companies use your personal data, like browsing history, to serve different prices to different costumers. It’s called surveillance pricing, and we just banned it in New York City. This tweet will say the same thing in incognito mode, don’t worry.

In this election, Americans called on us to unrig an economy rigged against working people & fueled by political corruption. To deliver, we need new leadership. This isn't about any one person – it’s about answering that call. That's why I’m running for Senate Majority Leader.

This was in LAST MONTH's print edition, btw.

🚨 Zelenskyy says Ukraine’s Starshield systems are once again being restricted, allowing deadly Russian strikes to get through. The news comes as Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are in Moscow.

shut the fuck up

if you can break the back of reactionary politics in mississippi you can do it anywhere.

CNN just called: Scott Colom has won the Mississippi Senate race. He is the first Black candidate to win statewide in Mississippi, for any office, since Reconstruction. CNN is the first major network call for this contest; call comes as Colom leads by 0.4% with very few ballots left to count.

Does anyone happen to know the name of the smallest bar in Mississippi?

If Mississippi elects a Democratic Senator, I am going to fly down there, walk into a bar, and buy everyone a beer.

Scott Colom has won the Mississippi Senate race, CNN projects

Garcia having an answer locked and loaded because he was expecting this White House horseshit is getting me amped up a little

Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 2d ago

Garcia responds: "It appears Donald Trump has something to hide. Let's be clear: Congress' authority comes from Article I of the Constitution, not from the permission of the White House … We are a co-equal branch of government and will not be deterred by baseless threats."

Rep. Thomas Massie: "My analogy here is the Titanic hit the iceberg on Nov. 3 and I offered people a life raft, and they said, 'No thanks, we'll stick with the Titanic.'"

BREAKING: House Republicans just voted to refer an effort to impeach Pete Hegseth to committee, effectively killing it.

Yup. Nobody likes "lost on missed votes" but I emphatically do not want a lame-duck impeachment run by GOP investigators and committees. I want an early-term Dem impeachment. Teams of blue-haired 23-year-old lesbians shouting "VENGEANCE IS MINE" writing subpoenas for Grok chat logs. The good stuff.

Josh Chafetz@joshchafetz.bsky.social · 2d ago

Not sure the House GOP did Hegseth any favors here. Now he’ll be impeached in January, when the Democrats will have a lot more say over how the Senate trial is conducted.

AOC on Trump Veto Threats: We’re within striking distance of veto overrides. So we can do it the nice way, or we can do it the hard way. I do think that this president does not want to be seen as impotent for the next two years.

I’ve reached out to Rep. Stansbury’s office to better understand what happened since this could explain why Dems were short on votes tonight.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (NM-01)@repstansbury.bsky.social · 2d ago

Tonight, House Republicans used a procedural motion to kill the impeachment of Pete Hegseth, by referring it to the Judiciary Committee. Like other Members of Congress, Rep. Stansbury was blocked from entering the Capitol to vote due a traffic incident and a police escort of a bus during the vote.

a real point in favor of my "politics is feeling very 19th century these days." the television/radio model of controlled, scheduled appearances is dead! successful candidates must always be yapping! always in trying to make the sale to voters in every forum imaginable.

Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · 2d ago

Scott Colom who we just had on, another example! Not hiding out from the media, scared he's gonna say the wrong thing. He's out there communicating. Really good to see.

this one is really satisfying, Virginia Foxx is one of the worst people in congress and we are all better off for her loss

Taniel@taniel.bsky.social · 2d ago

The count is now over in #NC03 & #NC05. Dems Chuck Hubbard and Raymond Smith finish ahead of GOP incumbents Virginia Foxx and Greg Murphy... by 284 votes & 325 votes, respectively. If these hold in a recount, Democrats will have won 11 of North Carolina's 14 congressional seats.

Me: Mary Peltola now has more votes than the two Dans Sullivan combined My husband, not extremely online, not a reporter, who has closely followed the topline election results but not the details: Than the what

The thing I want the 120th US Congress to do is Mamdani the fuck out of Congress. Pass 100s of bills.

Alaska just added roughly 24K ballots to the Senate race, & Mary Peltola won this batch by 7 percentage points over Senator Sullivan. This grows her lead from 1.1% to 1.8%. She is now up 49% to 47.2%. And Peltola now has more votes than the two Dan Sullivans combined.

ok so i think the way the hegseth impeachment vote shook out is a good reminder that a) republicans are the same pieces of shit they were a week ago b) dems better show the fuck up because expectations are sky high and people are actually gonna notice now when you miss a vote

In light of some apparent confusion, it should be reiterated that my new senator, James Talarico, actually opposes new weapons *sales* to Israel, not just taxpayer-funded military assistance. This puts him in a narrow category alongside Abdul El-Sayed, Chris Van Hollen and Troy Jackson.

This is what I mean by holding our electeds accountable. Who were these 11 Dems and why couldn’t they get to DC?

it is incredible how many people thought they were signing up for a thousand year maga reich

Daniel Knowles@dlknowles.bsky.social · 3d ago

Imagine getting too close to a short-term political ally because you struggle to anticipate future consequences

Democrats will have a 56-seat majority in the US Senate. We need to use it. Pass Medicare for All.

If a judicial nominee cannot state clearly that the 2020 election was free and fair, full stop, that should be the end of the nomination. And given Democratic control of the SJC, that should be easy.

patrick mcneil (he/him)@patrickryne.bsky.social · 3d ago

Todd Butler, nominated to the 5th Circuit, just told Senator @blumenthal.senate.gov that Joe Biden was certified as the winner of the 2020 election and will not say that he won the popular vote. He also would not characterize the January 6 insurrection as an "attack" on the Capitol.

New digs.

This is elevating hate to an art

Amber@risettemd.bsky.social · 4d ago

Much like Curtis Sliwa, I 100% disagree with this guy on everything but I absolutely respect his dedication to the craft of being a hater.

I don’t get it. His party just had a huge victory in the midterms and seized the majority. Why is he so bummed about it?
