Tejano musician Bobby Pulido ousts GOP Rep. Monica De La Cruz

Trump still has veto power. So unless or until we remove Putin puppet pedophile traitor scum Trump in 2028 (or sooner?) , and/or secure 67 Senate votes to override criminal Trump’s vetoes, little legislation can be passed. At least we’ve now ended/paused Putin/Trump Fascist “consolidation of power”.

Can't wait to hear someone say "it's time to heal." It'll be pretty rich, coming from the infection.
I'm a Churchill guy, and have always liked his epigraph to his World War II history: MORAL OF THE WORK In War: Resolution In Defeat: Defiance In Victory: Magnanimity In Peace: Good Will. But tbh I'm not sure I'm on board, in the current situation, with In Victory: Magnanimity. 🤷♂️
Medicare for all. Now. We can’t afford not to do it. It isn’t radical to support it. It’s radical to oppose it.
Not gonna lie. I’m more concerned about this than Susan Collins ever was about anything. I just hope they don’t screw this up. Read the room please.
not only was this the first truly decisive election in 15 years, not only was it the first real repudiation the MAGA Republican Party has experienced, but it is an earthquake in the South. with investment — and with laws protecting the right to vote — the whole region could be blue.
For history buffs: NYT: "It will dwarf even the margins that the Republicans won in their two big landslide victories of modern times when they defeated congressional Democrats when Bill Clinton held the White House in 1994 and Barack Obama was president in 2010." www.nytimes.com/2026/11/04/u...
Angry Voters Usher in Beginning of the End to the Trump Era
The electoral backlash extended even into deep red states and indicated that President Trump has lost his hold over the coalition that lifted him to the White House twice.

If you’re wondering why we didn’t see this result in 2024, it’s because most voters aren’t motivated by anything other than how they’re affected. That’s why we see the same patterns every cycle. I hope we can break that cycle.
extremely hilarious to me personally that everywhere they sent vance to campaign the candidates got the shit slapped out of them
"It’s probably time to retire the “wave” metaphor. It suggests that what happened was a force of nature. It was a human choice. Americans chose to repudiate a debased and degraded version of what this nation should be and instead open the door to a better future." www.thebulwark.com/p/too-big-to...
Too Big to Rig
The beginning of the end of MAGA?

Best thing I've read about the election so far is Brian Beutler's piece urging Democrats to fully understand their mandate. "The public wants an end to the scourges of tyranny. Deliver it." @brianbeutler.bsky.social
Don’t Read The Mandate Down
No one wins a historic realignment election because inflation is slightly above trend. The public wants an end to the scourges of tyranny. Deliver it.

It was God’s will for Mike Johnson to lose his speakership.
Democrat Jasmine Clark won her race in Georgia’s 13th Congressional District, Decision Desk HQ projects. Clark, who received her doctorate in microbiology from Emory University, is set to be the first-ever Black woman Ph.D. scientist to serve in Congress. https://bit.ly/4sFKGdH
It’s incredibly important to recognize that Democrats running up the score so high they exceeded the margins of fuckery is not a sign of democratic health. It is a time-limited reprieve to secure the government before we lose it. This was the failure of the Biden Era that cannot be repeated.
i've spent my entire adult life covering greg abbott and ken paxton's crusade on women's bodies and lives, i don't even have words for what it means to see this, for how many lives it could save to have these monsters expelled in shame
Dave Weigel@daveweigel.bsky.social · 12h agoI'm told that Greg Abbott has called Gina Hinojosa to concede the election.
Hawai'i's legislature passed this into law in May. A bunch of states are possibly in line to go next. I wrote about it, and provided call scripts and email language, here.

Not unexpected, but very cool nonetheless: the corporate power reset, aka the Montana Plan, aka our attempt to end-run Citizens United, won a sweeping victory in Montana.
reminder as Talarico wipes the floor with Ken Paxton that Donald Trump pushed John Cornyn out for a historically terrible candidate. He owns this result.
First order of business is removing this strip of jerky from leadership
Jen Bendery@jbendery.bsky.social · 11h agoSenate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) now talking about Dems taking back the Senate tonight. "Against all odds, Democrats have won the Senate," he says. "We have five words for the American people: relief is on the way."
