Trump wanted to be Orban. Well, he got his wish.

Columbia University, which is in this district, had her arrested for her activism against the genocide as a student. Now the district sent her to congress with overwhelming support.

There is a panic at DHS HQ right now; shredders are likely being run around the clock; emails deleted; video records scrubbed; and hasty contracts signed. They've got a lot of money to get to their friends, and a lot of misconduct to hide. Draft the subpoenas now.

Did the Warriors find a loophole with the Kristaps Porzingis situation? Very interesting thought from @Sam_Vecenie:
"This is essentially now a $20+ million dollar exception, except you can, instead of being able to just trade that deal by itself—like an exception where you just take people into the exception and you can’t combine the exception with other things—you can now combine Porzingis with somebody like Moses Moody or whoever to go get, like, a real star. On top of the fact that the Warriors are not paying him and he seems good with that, that feels kind of funky to me. If I’m being honest, that feels like a… almost like a loophole that the Warriors are exploiting in some way, shape, or form."
Went on with @KevinOConnor and talked about Yaxel Lendeborg, 40-minute NBA games, the NBA injury issues, and some NBA Draft stuff.
Talked for like an hour! Fun show!

For over a year, Donald Trump has made Minnesota his personal obsession. He waged a campaign of retribution and weaponized the entirety of the federal government to punish our people. That ends now.
We delivered a resounding rejection of his brutality. I’m proud we protected the Governor’s Office, every statewide office, and our state legislature from Trump. Brighter days ahead.

Remember what didn't happen yesterday.
ICE did not intimidate or arrest voters at polling stations.
Trump failed to disenfranchise Californian voters.
Trump's planned shenanigans in Alaska no longer matter. Dems already won the Senate.
And now we don't have to wait anxiously to see what the House clerk will do on January 3rd regarding the seating of newly elected members.
Democrats won big yesterday.
But so too did American democracy.

Gov. JB Pritzker: "JD Vance has been Donald Trump's number one cheerleader. He supported everything about the president. Now, he wants to seem like he's breaking with the president? But the reality is that everything that's happening to American families, right, the the rising cost of everything at the grocery store, your gas pump, all of that, JD Vance is out there promoting."

Zohran Mamdani: “It’s not enough for us as Democrats to win power. We have to use that power to deliver change that Americans can feel in their wallets. When you look at these campaigns, if we want to speak about James Talarico, he campaigned on a vision for universal childcare. If you want to talk about Keisha Lance Bottoms, she campaigned on a vision of cutting red tape to build housing. If you want to talk about Jocelyn Benson, she campaigned on a moratorium for data centers. What I’m excited to see now is a recognition that the work is only just starting and this has to be delivered for working people across the country”

After backsliding under Trump, oh what a night for women!

First Latina woman governor in Texas
Thank you America! And thank you as always to Black women voters for showing up and helping to make this happen!

In 2018, Brian Kemp ran for governor of Georgia. He was also the man running the election.
As Secretary of State, his office had canceled nearly 670,000 voter registrations in 2017 alone. Then, weeks before Election Day, it froze 53,000 more under a rule called "exact match." A missing hyphen. A dropped initial. That was enough. Nearly 70% of those frozen applications belonged to Black Georgians, in a state that's about 32% Black.
Stacey Abrams lost by about 55,000 votes.
She didn't wait for the next race. She built Fair Fight and went to work in every one of Georgia's 159 counties. She recruited poll watchers, ran registration drives, and took the system to court.
Georgia organizers registered more than 800,000 new voters.
Two years later, Georgia went blue for president for the first time since 1992. Two months after that, it sent two Democrats to the U.S. Senate and handed them control of the chamber.
Last night Jon Ossoff won re-election. Keisha Lance Bottoms became the first Democrat elected governor of Georgia since 1998. Tanya Miller became the state's first woman attorney general.

Jonathan Kuminga had 16p 8r 5a & tied his career-high with 4-3PTM tonight.
I asked Chris Finch pregame about JK's confidence shooting that shot...
"We told him take all the open 3's that come your way. When he does something quick, & usually when you're quick you're committed to it & you've got confidence in what you're about to do, it works out well. When he shoots that shot, it looks like it's going in to me & we just keep telling him to keep teeing it up."
Postgame I asked JK about it...
"Preseason I think I was kinda hesitant to shoot the ball and he told me to just let it fly."
As for his 2 clutch corner-3ptrs in front of Wolves bench tonight?
"It felt great. The support of my guys behind me, they give me more confidence cause every time I catch the ball they're all screaming to shoot the ball."

Thanks to all you who woke up and got to work organizing! All of you who voted for decency, fairness, equality, justice and against the flagrant corruption in our political system which has been stacked against the working people of this country. And a special thanks to the wave of first time voters and young people who took a step towards the future they deserve. Rise up and sing! Celebrate. Then we go to work reforming our party and our nation for good.

A 124-year-old voting ban designed to silence Black Virginians is finally gone.
While Democrats took control of both chambers of Congress, governors’ mansions, and state legislatures across the country, Virginia overturned its “Jim Crow-era lifetime ban” on voting for people with prior felony convictions. motherjones.com/politics/202…

Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith has worn the Confederate flag and made jokes about lynchings. She was just defeated by Scott Colom, the first African American to represent Mississippi in 145 years.
The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice. 🇺🇸

Pete Hegseth fired Vice Adm. Nancy Lacore after 35 years in the Navy. Last night, she defeated Republican Jenny Costa Honeycutt and flipped South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District.
Now the admiral he fired can question him in Congress.

There is one group of Americans who have every right to have lost faith in the American Experiment and the possibility of change through democracy. African Americans have been murdered, tortured, denied equal rights and protection simply for being Americans who wanted to be treated equally and vote.
When they lost elections, they didn't storm the Capitol in a violent attempt to throw out results.
They organized, registered more voters and kept faith with the promise of America.
Yesterday, that faith once again made history.
