This is a great year to turn NY-11 blue, friends! @newkingsdems.bsky.social @repyourblock.bsky.social and @bkindivisible.bsky.social turned out to canvas for @mikedecillis.bsky.social in Bay Ridge last night - joined by @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social, vice chair of the DNC.

I interviewed @mikedecillis.bsky.social in Bay Ridge yesterday, and here's why you support him as he runs to flip NY-11 from red to blue! tl,dr: This is our chance to knock out the only Republican US rep in NYC!!!

@malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social told the story of his first campaign - which he won by ONE VOTE. Every vote really, really, really counts, friends, and when you volunteer to get out the vote, you REALLY make a difference.

Right now, Ohioans don’t have a voice in the Senate fighting for them – in just 12 days, we're going to change that.

NEW from me: Beth Fuller was a 10-year CDC contractor when she was DOGE'd last year by Trump + Elon Musk, a mass layoff process cheered by the GOP. Now she's a candidate in a key swing district that could end the GOP’s decades-long grip on total power in Georgia. www.huffpost.com/entry/beth-f...

Elon Musk Killed Her Career. Now She Has A Shot At Flipping The Georgia House To Democrats.

Beth Fuller is running in a GOP district, but says residents are worried about democracy being dismantled: “We don’t want to live in a one-party system.”

Blanche won’t rule out DOJ post-election action in a ‘doomsday’ scenario

The attorney general’s comments come in the middle of a broader campaign by the Trump administration to zero in on what elections experts say is a relatively rare phenomenon of voting by noncitizens.

nbcnews.com

When first reported, 2025’s jobs reports added up to 1.2 million new jobs. After revisions, the economy added just 116,000 — 90% less.

What the Attorney General of the United States seems to not understand, but the people who matter do, is that Congress hasn’t given DOJ any authority to block states from certifying the election. This isn’t a thing. And we don’t have to pretend it’s a thing just because he says it’s a thing.

🚨🚨🚨 Q: Is there any scenario in which DOJ would try to block states from certifying the election? AG TODD BLANCHE: Yes, of course. It is not DOJ's intention to improperly interfere with elections or the state certification process, but ...

Smaller venues, empty seats, bored crowds, and a sleepy, confused headliner. The Trump rally is the defining political event of our era, repeated hundreds of times in all its grotesque glory, and now it's limping to an end. My latest at Public Notice: www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-rall...?
