Ground stop will be “multiple hours” This has been Flavor Flav from the Atlanta Airport. And now to Chuck D from JFK.

Remembering Dr. Rizk Abu Shaira, a devoted surgeon, husband, father, and colleague who continued caring for his patients until his final moments. His life and dedication will never be forgotten. May all those killed in the attack on Nasser Medical Complex rest in peace.
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.
Welcome to the majority, @scolom.bsky.social — and congratulations, Flipissippi!
CNN@cnn.com · 3d agoScott Colom will defeat Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in a major upset to become the first Democrat that voters in deep-red Mississippi have elected to the chamber in more than four decades, CNN projects. https://cnn.it/48ModTb
UPDATE: Rep Brittany Pettersen (D-CO) missed the Hegseth impeachment vote and her team dodged our questions about her whereabouts. @marshallglasses.bsky.social learned Pettersen was at a party for an AIPAC-linked Super PAC.
THANK YOU, MISSISSIPPI! This victory belongs to all of us and I am honored to be your new senator-elect.
Senator Warnock predicted and helped make this happen. He needs to be in the conversation for 2028.

Van Hollen shanked Schumer in an interview with Ali Vitali today: “We have two members in that room, newly elected senators, who would not be there if Schumer and the DSCC had had their way. And, you know, Schumer and the DSCC sided with the crypto industry and AIPAC against these candidates.”
Abdul El-Sayed in the UK was campaigning for @faizashaheen.bsky.social And the Labour Party blocked her from standing. It's very weird to see them celebrating the wins in the US - as if they share a political platform. youtu.be/U_5EnlFSfY0?...

John Oliver's whole show tonight is about Pete Hegseth, who has plenty to say about women in combat. Oliver: His own mother once wrote: "You are an abuser of women. That is the ugly truth."
93% of Black women voted for Democrats on Tuesday. We understand the stakes, and we have the solutions too.
Even when we are playing around, we are genius. I love that for us, I really do.

Chris Van Hollen fought when no one else would. Make him Dems’ leader. | Will Bunch
The Establishment’s race to keep Schumer and Jeffries as leaders must be stopped if Dems want to hold onto their midterm gains. Maryland’s senior senator should be on the shortlist.

This data from the Exit Polls is pretty interesting. The #1 issue for those who voted for Democrats was "state of democracy" not the economy. It's why Dems must be both warriors for working people and proud patriots defending democracy and freedom, here and everywhere.
ICE targeting a child, handcuffing them, and forcing them into detention is despicable. It is inhumane. I am calling on the Administration to free this child immediately. Additionally, TPS protections must be restored for all who've had them unfairly ripped away.
Haitian boy, 8, detained during scheduled immigration appointment
Homeland Security said the uncle did not have legal custody, so it took the boy under a 2008 anti-human-trafficking law “out of an abundance of caution.”

I just left the *live* taping of the great legal podcast @strictscrutiny.bsky.social and decided to stop by the D.C. home of Blanche Kelso Bruce, the first Black elected Senator from Mississippi who served from 1874-1880. Tonight I salute Scott Colom who will be the second. Never stop fighting!

Coincidentally, as it turns out, this is one of the agents who the government argued should get to remain anonymous in our lawsuit over the ways he and his coworkers violated Leonardo Garcia Venegas’ constitutional rights.

Bier@davidjbier.bsky.social · last wk.ICE HSI agent Kent Blacklidge, who racially profiled and tackled US citizen Leo Venegas while trespassing at his worksite (the first of Leo's three illegal detainments), was just arrested for rape and child sex crimes. The agent's duties had previously included child sex investigations.
