Mayor Mamdani and Councilmember Kayla Santosuosso visited the New York Aquarium to meet some seals and celebrate the impact of the administration’s $2 million investment in the aquarium.

These people don’t want to win; they don’t even want to persuade. They want a world where they are a pure and rarified elite, with none of the responsibilities of actual power, only the smug gratification of being right.

I'll simply say this, for 2028 & beyond, David & Angie should be a model for the different parts of the Dem party working together. This kind of partnering is what it's going to take to burn MAGA to the fucking ground. If you're uncomfortable w/ that, get comfortable or get the fuck out of our way!

It’s so funny 2 months ago after the primary, a bunch of online politicos were like “Jolly/Nixon is a weird ticket; they disagree on so much” Angie/David were like “it doesn’t matter; our coalitions are united against MAGA” And now, looks like the duo offline & doing the work were right!

Obama lives rent free in Trump’s head. Always has. Always will. Besides this being the ‘gayest midterms’ ever (according to Jesse), Trump saying ‘I don’t give a damn. We’re making a fortune’ when stock trading more in 1 day than Pelosi did in 12 years, is what voters are hearing from the President.

Marist with Jackson +2 on one of the most cooked LV screens I’ve ever seen as an FYI Dems have outvoted Rs more than 2:1 so far in early voting yeah I don’t think this bodes well for Collins

A single billionaire megadonor is propping up the Republican effort to stop Dems from flipping Pennsylvania’s Senate and gaining full control of government—to a much greater degree than Elon Musk is doing it at the federal level

So far, remarkably high turnout by young Black voters in Georgia. Eye-popping chart.

Their last poll found Rogers by 1. This would qualify as a fantastic poll for AES & MI Dems!

this might rank as one of the most important outcomes of the night if it happens. would give dems the ability to begin to make north carolina a democracy

Dawg with a capital D

everyone should start loading up a lot of sleep to get thru the night on November 3

We don't talk enough about how the Roberts Court slow-walked multiple executive privilege cases that were crucial to building the J6 case against Trump.

I think AOC has the opportunity to present herself as the most authentic candidate in 2028, especially when contrasted with her rivals. I think she could blend Obama’s optimism and cosmopolitanism with Bernie’s populism. Combined with Millennials overtaking boomers, I don’t rule out her chances

The amount of potential new trifectas that could be formed is a very underlooked story of this election. D’s have a very real chance to remake the political map for years to come with D’s favored or in play to create D trifectas in MN, WI, MI, PA, AZ, NV, and VT while Republicans likely won’t get

CBS identified Illinois based Three Z Printing as the holder of the permit associated with the fake transgender mailers. One of the owners, Matt Zerrusen, is based in Dallas. His Instagram shows pictures with Charlie Kirk and Donald Trump, and comments from local Republicans.

HMP official says he has no idea where politico got info that their internal polls show a tightening race and that it’s untrue

Arizona Democrats may be on the verge of passing sweeping expansions to voting access if they win. Arizona Republicans have relentlessly tried to suppress voters, leading to the Supreme Court’s 2021 Brnovich ruling where Alito gutted Voting Rights Act section 2 protections for voting access

Next week's elections could give Arizona Democrats something they haven't had in 60 years: control of the governorship and both chambers of the legislature.

Gov. Katie Hobbs has spent her four years in office with a hostile GOP legislature. But Hobbs' lead in the polls gives Democrats their best chance in generations to break the GOP's hold over the state Senate and state House—a body the GOP flipped in *1966* and has yet to lose.

The early voting blog is updated! Dem lead in NV above 20,000 ballots and above 5 percent. Five days of in-person early voting left and after a dominant D weekend, Republicans need it to turn around or a wave is coming. Lots of data and charts: thenevadaindependent.com/article/the-...

they’re squalling about this because it was a very accurate and pretty funny insult

Meanwhile, Democrat Scott Colom faces a surprisingly competitive U.S. senate race in red state Mississippi.

Amazing content

I think Sarah McBride's presence in the caucus has been extremely important in preventing Labourization because most of these people are kind of dumb and she can explain what's going on in small words.

We need to elect more trans women to Congress, just like we need to elect more Muslims to Congress

Dems won IPEV today narrowly I think

Great catch by @mariafromga.bsky.social! Dems actually won IPEV in Florida today!! 🎉🎉🎉

Also, polls underestimated the left. A preview, perhaps?

The Democrats still are not Labour.

Because there are 10s of thousands of Democratic electeds in the United States, and you have positioned yourself directly into a media environment that is designed to find every statement a Democrat makes that is even vaguely transphobic as soon as it happens.

One of most interesting pro-voter maneuvers this fall: After facing years of attacks against popular initiatives, organizers in Missouri and Montana are pushing two measures this November that'd give their states arguably the strongest legal protections in the country for direct democracy:

Stunning Lula victory in Brazil is another sign of how easily we all let ourselves get psy-op-ed by the right's expressions of confidence into, you know, believing them. We really have to get over that habit!

he’s also given multiple speeches on this and has really been trying with outreach both during the primary and now. I think the media just really wants Black voters to abandon Dems. Talarico had more time to show this narrative was completely bunk but it really mirrors that coverage too

pundits are basically bored by the idea that these democratic candidates are not meaningfully behind with black voters and so are trying to conjure a controversy into existence

Apparently the data that “DataRepublican” didn’t want to show has a D+17 generic ballot (returns are 15-21% left from 2024)

Best day for democracy worldwide in quite some time: Brazil’s center-left president won the runoff in an upset, blocking the far-right from gaining unified power. Serbia’s right-wing authoritarian government finally lost control of parliament after more than a decade in power

Here’s the editor of the Intercept Brazil as Lula tells the press that “something abominable is happening”
