The day after winning election, Senator-elect Peggy Flanagan called for Chuck Schumer to be replaced as the Democrats’ leader in the U.S. Senate.
dinner appears to be caesar salad with half a lemon, weirdly thick potato chips(?), and then something you have to cut with a knife served in a bowl that makes that difficult.

Subpoena immigrant concentration camp CEOs. They include: GEO Group CEO George Zoley CoreCivic CEO Lucibeth Mayberry and former CEO Patrick Swindle Akima CEO Bill Monet Ask them why so many people are dying inside their facilities, including by medical neglect and suicide.
Alvaro M. Bedoya@bedoyausa.bsky.social · 3h ago1/ Dear dozens of new economic populist members of Congress, You’ll face fast pressure to deliver economic results. How to do it? Subpoena CEOs. A shocking amount of time, they'll change what they are doing long before you pass a bill or actually cut off their federal funding. So:
I wonder what contractor will conduct the DNA testing and what their data security policy is. I wonder if they will sell sensitive data and to whom.

Basically spent the whole night emailing GEO Group and CoreCivic every time a state with one of their ICE detention camps flipped, asking if they had any concerns about what @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social might start looking into come January.
Americans are tired of being told their needs are unrealistic by politicians who have been bought by the wealthiest people in the country.
67% of Michigan Jews voted for Abdul To all the legacy institutions who tried to play them for chumps- you lost
Voters rejected that gun clown in favor of Katy Padilla Stout, ex-teacher & attorney for children in foster care. She told me “the number one thing on everybody’s mind is affordability. How are we going to not just maintain the status quo, but how are we going to charge forward?”

Brittany Page@brittanyepage.bsky.social · 9h agoGOOD NEWS! The vile bigot Brandon Herrera lost Texas House District 23! He is a YouTuber known as “The AK Guy” who poses with his copy of Mein Kampf, films himself goose-stepping while testing Nazi-era guns, promotes misogyny, and calls children “cum trophies.” Officially, the LOSER we know he is!
Senator-elect Dr. Abdul El-Sayed to JD Vance: "JD, habibi, there is this delicious irony in the fact that you're constitutionally obligated to swear me in in January."
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.
ABDUL EL-SAYED WHO RAN ON "RIGHTS ARE RIGHTS ARE RIGHTS ARE RIGHTS" AND REFUSED TO BLINK WHEN TRANSPHOBES TRIED TO CORNER HIM OR BULLY HIM INTO ABANDONING VULNERABLE PEOPLE FOR POLITICAL EXPEDIENCY.
Leah Stokes@leahstokes.bsky.social · 14h agoShout out to Abdul El-Sayed who ran on climate change, clean and cheap energy and WON. His campaign videos during the wildfire smoke this summer went viral. We CAN talk about climate, connect it to people's health and pocketbooks, and WIN.
