I want the NUMBERS

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

17,520 hours until the 120th Congress gavels in on January 3, 2027 at noon. Let’s do the work these next two years to make sure Hakeem Jeffries is elected Speaker when the clock runs out!

This…would basically amount to *actually* stealing a seat. It’s incredible that this is about to succeed, and it’s crazy that it’s not getting more attention.

Special Counsel report: The incoming president of the United States would have been convicted of violent crimes against the Constitution if his case had been brought in a timelier manner.

It is the honor of a lifetime to receive Speaker Emerita Pelosi’s endorsement for a DNC Chair campaign that is surging at this decisive moment. Together we will unite our party, fight through this moment of crisis, and win victories that make a difference in people’s lives.

It is a profound honor to carry the endorsement of @HakeemJeffries in this race to lead the DNC. Our goal is to unite this party, fight for working people everywhere, and win up and down the ballot—ensuring that, in 2026, Leader Jeffries becomes the next Speaker of the House.

friendly reminder that the best case scenario over the coming years is that a lot of people say "I supported Trump but this isn't what I wanted at all" and when they do that it's gonna be really, really important that we say "welcome in," not "fuck you, we told you so"

Truly disturbing report in the WSJ: Lawyers at Twitter are threatening advertisers to spend more money on X "or else" X owner Elon Musk will leverage his close relationship with Trump to torpedo mergers. This goes beyond a conflict of interest. It's straight up extortion.

Oh my goodness. This is one of the worst pieces of news anyone could have imagined for political data.

ABC News has now fully taken down the old 538 archives, including all interactive projects since 2014. Aside from erasing history this prevents access to publicly released data, including polls/models and all story data. Totally unacceptable and a real betrayal of the public

You can’t use the words “clean” or “runoff” or “pollution” when writing reports at the USDA now.

How well is congestion pricing doing? Very.

THEY DID THIS TO A U.S CITIZEN:

This is just maliciously dumb

a little hard to communicate to normies just how bad/dangerous this is! but yeah

If you’re trying to erase history, you’re on the wrong side of it.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Dems should only have one litmus test: are you the best candidate to beat the Republican?

My name is Mary Peltola, and I'm running for U.S. Senate to fight for fish, family, and freedom – and that begins with fixing the rigged system in DC that’s shutting down Alaska. We need systemic change if we're going to fill our homes with abundance again.
