I was celebrating my parents 40th wedding anniversary yesterday so completely forgot another important anniversary.
Kristin Welker is one of the weakest journalists if you can even call her that. Does she ever ask a follow up question? Or perhaps state some facts when they just blatantly lie?

Daniel Sloss explains why speaking about rumours surrounding Russell Brand was nothing compared to what survivors went through.
Andrew Gold: “You were the first and only guy to speak up about Russell Brand in the comedy circuit. Were you nervous?”
Daniel Sloss: “No, I think I was a bit naive.”
“When you think of sexual assault, you think of it as a problem in the world, but not within your circle.”
“The word ‘no’ was said several times, and that didn’t hamper him. It’s sexual assault.”
“A lot of survivors minimize their trauma because what happens to them feels so normal. They’re made to feel that what happened to them was not assault.”
“It takes no bravery to say, ‘Here are rumours that I have heard since I was 19 years old.’”
“That’s not the courage that the woman in the documentary showed. Coming forward and reliving one of the worst days of their life… that was bravery.”

The ground is shifting beneath Chuck Schumer’s feet, and he knows it!
Senator Elissa Slotkin is confirming what many have suspected: conversations about replacing Schumer as Senate Democratic leader are already happening behind the scenes.

I have deep respect for @SenSchumer and his years of service.
But leadership isn't a lifetime appointment.
The Democratic Party needs fresh energy, new voices and a next generation ready to lead.
It's time to pass the torch, Chuck.
Respectfully, the future is waiting.
This doesn’t have to divide us. For everyone defending Schumer we hear you and appreciate everything he’s done for our party. But you need to appreciate the fact that we are riding on a wave of new energy and we can’t mess this up. We need a younger leader.

I am so grateful to the Black voters in my home state of Georgia and the rest of the country for showing up and getting the job done! We wouldn’t be here today with majorities in both houses plus state legislatures and other offices without you.

Sometimes I agree with Erickson and this is one of those times. The Black and Latino flip and turnout was huge. Lots of finger pointing in the administration - Dhillon, Hegseth, Wiles, etc. taking the fall. But the orchestrator of all of this was STEPHEN MILLER.
.@EWErickson is one of the few conservative voices who consistently opposed Republicans screwing around with the VRA districts. I remember getting into arguments with even Black Republicans over how stupid this strategy was. Most of these southern states have large Black populations. The VRA districts were the detente between the Black and white political dynamics in the South.
When Republicans betrayed that, it made Black voters feel like they no longer had a seat at the table under Republican governance and lashed out en masse. Which is EXACTLY what I told many of you would happen. I am not from the south, but my family is and several members of my family from the great migration generation are still alive today. As a result I have a certain level of sensitivity and consciousness of those dynamics and that ain’t nothing to play with. It also didn’t just anger Black people in the south. It had a reverberating effect everywhere
