@maddow Is it time to overcome our "scary gun" phobias & do some evidence-based gun control? See ProPublica goo.gl/GfPZZT

NEW: One of the most notoriously far-right, xenophobic sheriffs in the nation lost his reelection bid.
After decades in office.
Voters in Frederick County, Maryland, have ousted Chuck Jenkins, known for aggressively anti-immigrant policies. boltsmag.org/voters-oust-not…

The presumption of regularity no longer being applied to ICE.

If Mississippi elects a Black Democrat as Senator for once, I feel like it's the fulfillment of the century-delayed promises of Reconstruction. Mississippi is the most Black state in the nation, and it hasn't had a Black Senator since 1881. That's an appalling record of representation.

The insanity of JD Vance using pseudo-intellectual babble about the loss is hilarious.
Corruption. Sexual predation. Epstein. Trump kids and donors raiding taxpayer coffers. Iran. Trump stock trading and manipulating the market. Farmers. North Korea love letters. Putin’s lapdog. Traitorous deals. Healthcare, Ukraine…
Trump is a sociopathic shit for brains, felon and predator. That’s the bottom line.

Good. The combo of the Bivens doctrine and qualified immunity makes it effectively impossible to sue feds like ICE for constitutional violations. Federal officers should not have absolute immunity. It is time to end the conservative project to make the President a king.

🚨 EL-SAYED REFUSES TO BACK SCHUMER FOR SENATE MAJORITY LEADER
Michigan Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed declined to endorse Chuck Schumer for Democratic Senate leader, despite Schumer’s support for his campaign.
“I do believe we need new leadership and I think people are hungry for it,” El-Sayed declared.
The outspoken Israel critic signals growing divisions within the Democratic Party over its leadership and direction.

JUST IN: The Trump administration notifies Judge Chutkan that a construction company has applied to maybe possibly begin construction of Trump's "triumphal arch" and is perhaps beginning to maybe prepare to possibly do it if approved tomorrow. Maybe.

We also have to thank Marc Elias for his tireless pursuit of justice. Fighting all the illegal things and BS cases that Trump tried to use to steal the election.
Thank you Sir

Think Russia's dirty tricks are just Europe's problem? Think again! Cyberattacks, sabotage, and disinformation can hit America's power grid, communications, and elections, too. Moscow doesn't need to fire a missile to threaten our security. #RussianEspionage #Cybersecurity #NationalSecurity

Impeach Hegseth and Blanche. The Pentagon and DOJ are too important to be left in their hands. And it will be important to bar them from federal service forever.
A US military source says: "Hegseth's days are numbered". There are differing views on why - some believe he will face inevitable impeachment by the Democrats, others believe Trump will sack him as the fall guy for the disastrous Iran war.
Either way, he has already alienated significant parts of the US military.
One senior military officer, not authorised to speak on the record, tells @thetimes: "Personally, after decades of service and five combat deployments I’m just tired of being called ‘woke’ by a secretary who seems to spend more time worrying about NCO business than actually making serious policy decisions."
