Very much looking forward to the Atlantic article about how Bluesky wound up being the most directionally correct political community on the Internet.
Something is happening. Van Hollen said Dems should have a “full, open and honest discussion” about “where we want to take the party.” “Whoever runs for leader should be able to lay out a clear vision about how we’re going to use this power for good." Schumer's future as leader is not assured.
For people who have been resisting Trump all along, last night was less a shock than a profound, full-body vindication. The American people don't want this. They don't want a mad king. They never have. www.headsupnews.org/p/the-no-kin...
The No Kings Election
The American people rejected a mad and cruel tyrant

I'm going to interpret this as the kind of double talk that provides cover and eventually yields results.
Jeffries: "I haven't had a single member of the House Democratic caucus talk to me about impeachment. We've been relentlessly focused on affordability and accountability."
LOSE. HIM. NOW. find a less Schumeresque leader. Also, lose Schumer.
"The American people don't want us to get even; they want us to get things done on their behalf." House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who is now poised to become the next House Speaker, says that Democrats will focus on affordability concerns and not retribution after their midterm wins.
I had been meaning to post something along the lines of, "Do we think JD fully comprehends that his dream of becoming POTUS got flushed down the toilet last night?" And...he beat me to it with the answer
This Vance post. The Trump era is over.
Fetterman was setting himself up to switch parties and play kingmaker, and now he’s the least important person in Washington, D.C. Just retire and go start a podcast, you useless waste of space.
I want to get even. I want my neighbors back. I want Nuremberg 2.0. I want the Epstein files released in full. Historically, every time the US has prioritized "unity" and "moving forward" we have allowed injustice and hate to fester. Which is partly how we got here. I want accountability.
Corporate Ds WANT Rs to win because then they can talk big and do nothing. He is a shithead who needs to be removed asap but of course that won’t happen will it?😏🙄
Doing what Jeffries suggests ensures another Trump MAGA win in 2028
Holding people accountable counts as getting things done.
This useless twerp is the mote in today’s happy eye.

The question is wrong, the answer is wrong. Corruption was at the top of the list of voters’ concerns along withvwffordsbility. It’s not about retribution. It’s about justice.

Justice is a kitchen table issue too.
Katherine Clark: "There is one image that has stuck with me. It's the video of the memorial to Alex Pretti and Renee Good. It is covered with 'I Voted' stickers. Hundreds and hundreds of people went to that memorial. Each one placed by an American who cast their ballot in the ultimate act of hope."
Feel like Hegseth plus Kennedy should be Democrats opening minimum demand.
"A Democrat last won a seat on the Texas Supreme Court and the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals in 1994..." www.texastribune.org/2026/11/04/t...
Texas Democrats break Republican hold on statewide courts
With votes still being counted, the GOP advantage is poised to fall to 5-4 on the Texas Supreme Court and 6-3 on the Court of Criminal Appeals.

Holding the grifters accountable who prevent you from getting things done because their patrons don't want them done is not getting even. It is called accountability. Read the mandate, FFS.

This is a big deal for LGBTQ people as well, who have been dealing with her hate for decades.
This is a big deal for education policy in this country. May she live the rest of her life in bitter exile www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...
There's no end game for them... only “MORE.” Many of them have a massive void inside they try to fill with the next "thing", the next billion, the next tech explosion, the next frontier, with no constraints on their willingness to exploit others, especially those less fortunate.
Can we please give a HUGE shout out to Stacey Abrams? She worked and fought and organized and created the foundation for the important win by Keisha Lance Bottoms to become the first female and first Black governor in Georgia's history, as well as the first Black female governor in the US.
Paxton's impeachment cracked the Texas GOP. Hinojosa's victory might widen it. NYT: Steve Toth, a Paxton ally, said those close to Mr. Cornyn and the Bush family were to blame for “dirtying” Mr. Paxton with the failed impeachment and during the GOP primary. www.nytimes.com/2026/11/04/u...
‘An Earthquake’: A Democratic Rout Stuns Texas
In a seismic shift that was once unthinkable, victories by James Talarico and Gina Hinojosa upended decades of statewide dominance in what had been the nation’s most populous conservative state.
