When was the last time Democrats held 114 seats in the PA House? 30+ years ago? Even more?
If all of the leads in the Pennsylvania State House hold, this is what the new map would look like. @PaHouseDems would flip 12 seats, while @PAHouseGOP flips one for a 114-89 makeup. @fox43

Pope Leo XIV drew on his own recent experience of illness and hospitalization after surgery for lung cancer on Friday to make an impassioned appeal for universal access to healthcare, greater social equality and a society that does not measure people's worth by their productivity or wealth. cbsn.ws/4AiB37l

Wow. Nolan Finley, editorial editor of the Detroit News and a solid conservative voice on its pages for decades, says loud and clear what many Republicans are quietly thinking: Republicans shouldn't block Democrats from impeaching Trump | Finley detroitnews.com/story/opinio…

The cruel, vulgar style of MAGA politics never really worked for anyone but Donald Trump, and even for him the act has worn thin. Now Americans have also repudiated the substance of Trumpism economist.com/united-states/…

Historic.
Democrats' net gain in some state legislative chambers is so large that you have to go back to the 19th century. DEMs' net gain in the NH Senate precedes the Republican Party; you have to go back to 1847 (!) DEMs' net gain in the TX House is the largest since Reconstruction ended

BREAKING: Trump may have accidentally chosen the wrong Dana White for his White House Press Secretary offer. There is a woman named "Dana White" who is the former Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs, more commonly known as the Pentagon's chief spokesperson, from April 2017 to the end of 2018. She briefed the press from the Pentagon podium, and served as the principal media adviser and communications lead for the Secretary of Defense. She also was a Fox News publicist and worked at the conservative Heritage Foundation. She even started her career as a press secretary for the House Republican Conference. Someone at the White House likely recommended her to Trump and he thought they meant UFC CEO Dana White, then went ahead and announced it on Truth Social thinking it's his UFC friend, and nobody around him was willing to correct him. Furthermore, Trump is actively searching for a new press secretary after Karoline Leavitt left and Katie Zacharia lasted five days, so names are being pitched to him right now. Per CNN, UFC's Dana White has declined the offer, and one aide now claims Trump was "joking."

This is truly the video of the day to watch. @ChuckHubbardNC is just a dad, a normal guy, who was concerned about his daughter and her rights. So he ran for congress -- knowing he would not win -- and won.
Must watch: Meet Chuck Hubbard, who is set to defeat Virginia Foxx in a safe Trump +18 district in North Carolina. Just a normal guy, he decided to run for office to stand up for his LGBTQ daughter and defend her rights in Trump’s America.

For years, my dad battled Parkinson’s disease. On Election Night, I got to tell him, “Pop, we won.” This morning, he passed away. A part of me believes he held on just long enough to see his son make it to Congress. He won’t be there when I’m sworn in. But I know he’ll be standing right beside me. Rest easy, Daddy. I’ll take it from here. These next two years are for you ❤️

The parallels between today and the first decades of the 20th century are striking: robber barons, extreme wealth inequality, the rise of progressivism, and a resurgence of socialism, especially in America’s major cities. nytimes.com/2026/11/05/us/el… via @NYTimes

The path to victory in 2028. We don’t need to win Brooklyn, Boulder & Berkley w/greater majorities - we must win PA, WI , OH & MI w/ centrist policy that we will not be left behind. 2028 Dem Candidate - Place Based, Clean Tech/Jobs Fed Investment - Marshall Plan for Mid America.
The victories of James Talarico and Adam Hamilton stood out in the midterms because they are both committed, outspoken Christians—a departure from the recent Democratic Party, @Peter_Wehner writes. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1…

Woke.
Bad policy, bad character make bad politics: erratic tariffs, impulsive Iran war, blanket pardons, apparent corruption, weaponized justice, ICE brutality, mountainous deficits, hiding Epstein, abandoning allies and coddling enemies. Hoping for a course correction, for the country and for my party.

Interesting to note. Since the Election, Elon’s algorithm has shifted (again). Explained - I am only here to challenge the algorithm & express views. His site creates hate, extremism & polarization. I don’t have $1T, but I do have your following. People >!Algorithm. #people
