BREAKING: NBC News projects that Jennifer McClellan has just won her special election in Virginia, which makes her the first Black woman ever elected to Congress from Virginia. Her opponent was a far-right conspiracy theorist. Great news for democracy.

We have a right to not be shot. We have a right to survive math class. We have a right to safety. We have a right to a future. We have a right to not be murdered. Murder is the ultimate infringement on our rights.

Lamar Johnson served 28 yrs of a life sentence when his innocence was finally proven, and he was set free! All with the help of the Innocence Project and St. Louis Attorney Kim Gardner. Racial bias in the court system destroys the lives of many. Glad to have Lamar home ✊🏾

The producers, editors, directors and team of @TheTakeaway deserve SO MUCH BETTER than this. This team is exceptional. Cancelling this show in this way is an act of institutional cruelty and abuse by the executives of @WNYC. I will stand for them until the end.

Almost all are red states. Deport good people looking for work; cry a river for being understaffed. Now pay the price. They should be fined billions! dol.gov/newsroom/releases/wh…

After years of Trump and republicans calling CNN and MSNBC “Fake News,” it turns out that Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Fox News are the real “FAKE NEWS.” It’s literally proven in court documents! Say it with me now: “Fox News is Fake News!”

Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity wanted Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich fired for accurately fact-checking Trump on his Dominion lies. "Please get her fired. Seriously....What the fuck? I'm actually shocked...It needs to stop immediately, like tonight," Tucker texted Hannity.

There are *reasons* you guys have lost the popular vote in the last 7/8 elections… seems pretty clear your cause may need to be changed
I have a particular message for my fellow Republicans: We’ve lost the popular vote in seven of the last eight presidential elections. Our cause is right—but we have failed to win the confidence of a majority of Americans. Well—that ends today. If you’re tired of losing, then put your trust in a new generation. And if you want to win – not just as a party, but as a country – then stand with me!

WOW! Adam Frisch just announced he running again to unseat Lauren Boebert. He lost in 2022 by only 546 votes. He can win this!

BREAKING: Adam Frisch, who lost to Lauren Boebert by barely 500 votes in 2022, just announced that he will challenge her again in 2024. Let’s do everything we can to make sure Lauren Boebert never sees political office again & elect Adam Frisch to Congress.
