I'm the one in the picture who isn't Lou Brock (RIP Lou). Sometimes people are confused about this. She/her. Black lives matter.

Dems/media condemning Joe for pardoning Hunter right after a psycho who has spent 4 years ranting that he was going to go after him is the most toxic kind of phony virtue signaling imaginable. Don’t forget to pat yourselves on the back from your perches on the moral high ground.

Only in America can you go from refugees fleeing with nothing but the clothes on your back to becoming a member of Congress in just one generation.
Today's count has made it clear: I am the winner of this race thanks to the resilience, spirit, and dedication of our #CA45 community and volunteers.

Nonsense. He "needed" to reward an important part of his base, women and specifically Black women (and your characterization of Harris is entirely subjective.) Every politician does this --- was Trump playing "identity" politics when he picked the super Christian Mike Pence?

I can assure everyone that we ran this ad.
It's kind of amazing they never ran this ad
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The campaign spent a significant amount of money running this ad.

This election result isn't about Dem messaging.
Their messaging during the campaign was about helping the middle class, continuing with sound economic policies, affordable healthcare and education, the rights of women, strengthening the border, unity.
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz formed a balanced ticket filled with character, intellect, and genuine love for this country, and they eloquently delivered their vision better beautifully.
This election result is about racism, misogyny, lack of education—and an irresponsible media that caters to those realities.
There is no messaging that can overcome prejudice and ignorance, and those two factors are the only explanation for Trump even being the nominee and getting 75 million votes.
We need to stop pretending there is some perfect Democratic candidate or magic messaging to reach people who have abandoned objective reality and chosen to embrace their fears and phobias, while failing to do the slightest bit of work to know what candidates' policies and plans are.
The Dems didn't fail America, they just exist in a nation where far too many people don't pay attention or care to understand what's actually happening. Maybe they will now.

This is a congressman spreading misinformation in order to piss off his base to get Hegseth confirmed.
The AF’s official forms refer to the father as the “non-birthing parent,” & the mother as the “birthing parent” for family leave purposes. Stop being sheep my fucking god

🚨DEMOCRAT DEREK TRAN HAS TAKEN THE LEAD IN CA45!
Current results:
Derek Tran (D) - 152,981
Michelle Steel (R) - 152,945
Tran leads by 36 votes and won this latest batch 54-46%
I don't see the leader in the results reversing so looks like Congressman-Elect Derek Tran.

A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an “anti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidas…

Whether it's Tim Walz expanding his state's school lunch program or Matt Gaetz giving cocaine and Ecstasy to underage sex workers, both sides have taken controversial approaches towards feeding children.

Trump’s entire closing message was about demonizing immigrants. But as a DC journalist who needs access for the next four years, I’m going to pretend he spent all that time talking about inflation while Harris ignored it.

“I believe in womens rights, I love the gays, I support trans people, I’m an ally who has marched, BUT I voted for him because….”
Immediate block. Fuck off straight to hell.

The Harris campaign — and the Biden presidency — have been in both word & action the most aggressively pro-worker efforts of their kind in American history. So, genuinely, respectfully: what the fuck is he talking about?
Bernie Sanders: “It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.”

i think we need to be meaner. i’m tired of tiptoeing. if you voted for him you’re a bad person. people who voted for harris are better than you. they’re smarter than you. if you voted for him you lack empathy, you’re unintelligent, you’re weird, and you’re a bad person. period.

Last thing about the “garbage” stuff:
What we’re seeing is racist white folks do what they always do: insult other people, then somehow make the conversation all about white folks, their feelings, and their issues.
It’s always an attempt to recenter the conversation on whites.
