Florida Democrats have been trying to win State Senate District 10, a suburban seat anchored in Seminole County, since 2020
In 2026, Democrat John Lowndes not only won, but he absolutely swept out incumbent Republican Jason Brodeur.
Seat was Trump +1 in 2020. #flapol

For anyone who hasn't heard about this yet: ICE showed up at the front door of Dr. Ann Lawani in Lodi, California, while she was still in her pajamas, shackled her at the wrists, waist, and ankles, and shipped her all the way to a detention center in Louisiana.
Sheโs a frontline nurse who worked through the worst of COVID, directs the master's nursing program at the University of San Francisco (overseeing 230+ nursing students), and takes care of her 83-year-old dad.
When her family and lawyer tried to find out where she was taken, ICEโs online locator came back with "0 results." It turns out ICE quietly changed its policy the day before her arrest to stop listing thousands of detainees in the public database, so her family had no idea where she was for days while she was bounced from Stockton to Bakersfield to El Paso to Louisiana.
DHS put out a statement claiming she had a 2013 removal order, but they conveniently left out that on the *exact same day* in 2013, an immigration judge granted her Withholding of Removal blocking her deportation to Nigeria because she faced persecution there.
She has zero criminal record, has checked in with ICE for 13 years, and has a valid federal work permit through 2029. Because they legally can't send her to Nigeria, Rep. Josh Harder says ICE has been trying to quietly deport her to an undisclosed third country behind her lawyer's back.

Hillary Clinton on Jensen Huang:
I will predict to you what will happen when Trump meet Xi Jinping in a few weeks
He will say to Xi Jinping, like he said to Putin, "Is this true?" And Xi Jinping will say, "Of course it's not, Donald. You know that we wouldn't do that to you."
And then Trump will come out and say, "I asked President Xi if it were true, and he assured me it wasn't."

Apparently right wing lunatic Jake Lang has been going around telling people how the three girls from Ole Miss are innocent & telling people to donate to them & now heโs at the apartment of the black girls wearing a gorilla costume making a racist fool of himself. Arrest him.

Can you all please stop spreading this disinformation..
AIPAC did not become the United Democracy Project.
United Democracy Project (UDP) is AIPACโs super PAC, and it has been operational since 2022.
@rolandsmartin My brother. He knows
AIPAC has become United Democracy Project. I would have liked for you to push him on that. This sounds like heโs lying fam.

Yโall do know that yesterdayโs vote was NOT a vote to impeach Pete Hegseth, right?
It was a procedural vote on whether to REFER the articles of impeachment to the Judiciary Committee.
A YES vote meant sending the articles to committee rather than proceeding immediately with impeachment.
A NO vote meant rejecting that procedural maneuver so the impeachment effort could potentially move forward.
Nobody voted on whether to actually impeach Pete Hegseth yesterday.
And yes, I understand why some of yโall are upset that several Democrats got stuck in traffic and missed the vote. The vote was reportedly open for approximately 23 minutes, and some members arrived after it closed.
But even if those Democrats had made it and defeated the referral motion, that STILL would not have meant Pete Hegseth was impeached. The House would have needed to vote on the actual articles.
We can discuss accountability without misrepresenting what happened.
The misinformation on this app is dangerous, especially when people are repeating things they clearly do not understand.
Learn the difference between a procedural vote and a substantive vote before telling everybody what Congress did.

What do you mean another? Jeffries HAS kept Dems together.

BREAKING: Trump's admin announced they plan to cut food assistance for 6.3 million more Americans.
Let's be clear: this is completely voluntary.
Americans spoke out against the cruelty of this admin and instead of listening, they doubled down on making life harder.

Omg. Hahaha! My district was redrawn all the way from Orlando down to Okeechobee in DeSantisโs effort to crack the Democratic electorate, and Soto held on anyway. Floridaโs Constitution disallows partisan gerrymanders, and the Florida governor made no secret of the fact that this redistricting was designed to favor Republicans. He got away with it because he appointed loyalists to all but one seat on the Florida Supreme Court. Open corruption. But it didn't pay off. Gerrymandering is evil. Evil actions always deserve to lose. Congratulations @RepDarrenSoto

As Seminole County swung to the left last week, Democratic candidate Charline Lorraine Santos flipped a county commission seat.
This makes Santos the first Democrat on the county commission in THIRTY years, as well as the first women of color in history #flapol

The line graph below shows the trendline in DEM v GOP voter registration and votes cast from 2012 to 2026
Thanks to 2026 actually having higher Democratic turnout % than the GOP, the vote cast was LESS red than registration for the first time recent memory #flapol
The final turnout figures from Florida last night
For the first time in memory, Democrats turned out a higher % of the voters than Republicans. DEM turnout for a midterm broke records
Republicans for saved by a massive registration lead. Which I wrote about here #flapol

I know Florida has a reputation of being deep red because conservatives flooded to the state post 2020
There has been GOP growth, but as I wrote three weeks ago, the bigger issue is the collapse of Democratic voter registration. Something driven by restrictive laws and the national DEMs leaving Florida with no cash. As a result, Florida has a large unregistered population

Big: Kris Kobach, the Kansas attorney general, one of the countryโs most notorious far-right figures who charted the way for Trumpโs election denialism well before Trump got to it, has lost his reelection bid.
Democrat Chris Mann will be new Kansas attorney general, AP

Iโm hopping on a plane to DC tomorrow for freshmen orientation tomorrow - so bonkers, itโs all happening! Excited to get to work for us. Between now and January youโll still see me working at the restaurant in Eau Claire. I got debt and bills to pay! So proud to be a voice to embolden the working class and reclaim rural power in Congress.
