BREAKING: Judge Chutkan has blocked construction of Trump's proposed "triumphal arch" for at least 14 days while litigation against it remains pending. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/28...
El-Sayed on The View: "I'll do a metal detector all day because I've got nothing to hide. But Donald, if you're watching -- lie detector is still on the table."
Underrated that the 13 colonies voted Dem this cycle lol
🔥 @raskin.house.gov : “Accountability vs. Affordability is a false dichotomy— they’re the same thing.” Raskin points out Trump’s corruption and pointless war is why things are expensive, so Dems holding corruption accountable and addressing affordability is not an either/or, it’s BOTH.
Plaintiff Michael Lemmon is suing to stop the Trump administration’s illegal vanity arch. His heartfelt remarks highlight why this is so important to veterans and their families.
🚨 BREAKING: Harmeet Dhillon, Trump's handpicked DOJ Civil Rights chief, has RESIGNED following Democrats' historic midterm sweep. Dhillon gutted the Civil Rights Division, drove out career attorneys, and pursued some of Trump's most odious legal crusades. The exodus begins.
There is much to celebrate this week, but I want to call specific attention to historic gains Democratic women made in representation: - For the first time in history, over 100 Democratic women will serve in the U.S. House. - At least 16 Democratic women will serve in the Senate.
She can resign and move wherever she wants, but House Judiciary still needs to subpoena her and make her answer for all of this incredible fuckery. Do not "turn the page" on any of this shit, or we're going to be living through this same story the next time there's a Republican DOJ.
Amanda Carpenter@amandacarpenter.bsky.social · 2d agoDhillon was behind Trump’s failed election subversion attempts, notably with a humiliating string of 0-27 voter data grab court losses. This is a part of her permanent record. Humiliating election subversion defeats.
Victoria Broderick just won in TN-4 without @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ever knowing her name. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social won in Michigan and @schumer.senate.gov did the opposite of help him. The idea that those 2 take credit for this wave defies logic. They are not the "leaders" 🇺🇸 just voted for.
I wrote about what last night means for #SCOTUS, including whether Thomas or Alito will retire during the lame duck (no); whether the Court will now moderate its behavior (it *needs* to); and the consequences for the Court and the country if the justices continue to act as if they are above it all:
261. The Midterms and the Courts, Part I
John Roberts is in a similar position to Owen Roberts in December 1936. Whether he’ll react the same way could say a lot about the Supreme Court’s future.

Last night, Americans made a clear call for accountability and affordability. A body politic cannot recover until its harms have been treated and its wounds have been healed. Crimes against our people and our Constitution must be answered for.
People gathered in downtown Austin’s Capitol area late last night to celebrate James Talarico and Gina Hinojosa’s historic victories!
I see signs of a "let's make friends with fascists" movement among some Democrats. No. Dismantle the ICE gulag system. Take Christian nationalism out of the military. Stop White House bribe-taking Nationalize Elon Musk's businesses. Defeat the fascists. Maybe someday we can be friends. Not now.
VoteHub projects Abdul El-Sayed to win the Michigan U.S. Senate election.
Tonight, the American people sent a clear message — they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face.
'In 1860, an enslaved man named Sheppard Peek was listed among the possessions of William Peek, a white man in Crawfordville. His value was placed at $1,400. More than a century and a half later, Sheppard’s great-great-granddaughter, Keisha Lance Bottoms, was elected governor of Georgia.'
Keisha Lance Bottoms and the long road from Crawfordville to Governor’s Mansion
More than 160 years after her ancestors were enslaved in Georgia, the former Atlanta mayor has made history as the first Black woman elected governor.

Only Donald Trump could have turned Texas blue. Really incredible stuff. Once in a lifetime ass whooping.
