The tragedy of Rob and Michelle’s deaths are incomprehensible. I’m hearing Rob’s voice telling us all to do more, to repair the human soul, to repair our hearts, to repair our country, to repair our world, to keep fighting, to keep living for every soul taken from this earth.

A quite startling overperformance for Democrats in tonight's special election for a state Senate seat in Kentucky: Democrat Gary Clemons won 72% to 25%. He was defending a Dem-held seat where Kamala Harris beat Trump by 5% last year.

At some point, incompetence and deliberate indifference to the law reaches a point where it is indistinguishable from deliberate misconduct. This is why you don’t hand a complex matter to someone who has never presented to a grand jury before.

A Republican sheriff in a swing county that Trump won by 0.1% signed a contract to help ICE, then lost last week by 11. New by me in @boltsmag.org: boltsmag.org/sheriff-of-b...

Voters Ousted This Pennsylvania Sheriff After He Signed Up to Collaborate With ICE - Bolts
A populous, swing county replaced its GOP sheriff on Tuesday after months of controversy over his joining ICE’s 287(g) program. The Democratic winner promises he’ll end the contract.

“The taxes were illegal but it’s just too much money for the government to give back” sounds like something you would have been tarred and feathered for saying in 1773.

Glad you deleted it. Frankly the reactions to the events of the day are borderline comical. All this talk about primaries is just hilarious. Tim Kaine just got elected to a 6 YEAR TERM. He doesn’t care about primary threats. The problem is Trump and 53/47. If Dems don’t vote then this crap happens.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Yes on Prop 50 wins, Mamdani wins, Spanberger wins, Sherrill wins, Colorado passes tax on rich to fund school meals! This is the beginning of the Democratic comeback and hopefully the dawn of a new populist and progressive era.

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning. This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

Big results in PA's Dauphin County, a swingy area that's home to Harrisburg. Dems won judgeships in the county for first time in 33 years; one of winners is the first Black woman judge in county ever. They beat the Republican DA who was looking to become a judge. www.pennlive.com/elections/20...

I wasn’t a huge fan of Mamdami but he ran a hell of a race. Some of his proposals are not practical but I hope he focuses on his proposals that generate broad support and help New Yorkers.

We're seeing some large gaps between the governor's race and the attorney general race in Virginia, as expected. In the five counties/cities that are reporting at least 40% of the vote, Dems are doing better by a net 10%, 16%, 8%, 8%, and 7% in the gov race.

From Lawrence O'Donnell: The Convicted FElon's approval numbers are as low as they were after the J6 insurrection, only 37% approval. The Majority of Americans disapprove of everything that he is doing. The economy, immigration, tariffs, use of ICE & national guard, healthcare & so on.
