Absolutely fantastic... But also let's do 50% next! – at Flowing Wells, AZ
There is much to celebrate this week, but I want to call specific attention to historic gains Democratic women made in representation: - For the first time in history, over 100 Democratic women will serve in the U.S. House. - At least 16 Democratic women will serve in the Senate. - At least 14 Democratic women will serve as governors, a record high. - A record of 2,600 Democratic women running for seats in state legislatures helped flip 12 majorities and break 11 supermajorities. - Four states elected their first woman governor: Georgia, Minnesota, Ohio, and Tennessee. - @KeishaBottoms will be the first Black woman to serve as a governor. - @DebHaalandNM will be the first Native American woman to serve as a governor. - @GinaHinojosaTX will be the first Latina to serve as governor of Texas. - @peggyflanagan will be the first Native American woman to serve in the Senate. I am beyond excited to see these extraordinary people and public servants tackle accountability, affordability, and our other challenges to make life better for everyone in this country. Congratulations to everyone who ran: win or lose, fighting for what's right is always worth it.

Quick shoutout to @atrupar. He watched Trump and Co. 24/7 so we didn’t have to. He posted clips so we could see what was being said/done. He kept us informed (when a lot of media was being censored). Without people like him, we don’t have this 💙🌊. Thank you. Now can we bring back Stephen Colbert???
I'll be posting election-related clips all day today and into the night. If you appreciate my coverage, please support what I do as an independent journalist by signing up for my newsletter. I think you'll enjoy PN and subscribers make my work possible. (I'm offering a midterm discount too.) Thanks. publicnotice.co/subscribe

America is tired of disrespect, lies, insults, name-calling, broken promises, and people who use religion as a puppet or power to enrich themselves. America wants honesty, to be heard, respect, and honest leaders—even for those who you disagree with…A lesson for @GOP and @TheDemocrats: Let’s work for We the People! Longer tables, all welcome! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

21 months. 65,000+ miles. 23 town halls. 50+ parades. 2,500 lawn signs. 50,000 palm cards. 100,000+ doors knocked. One day left. One more chance to knock a door, make a call, tell a friend. We’re ready for better. Let’s go get it. Together. 1 days until Election Day. #FlipThe6th #LFG #ReadyForBetter

I voted for @ChapinForMN6 this morning. I recently moved to this district and I haven't had this much excitement to vote for US Congress ever (I've lived in DFL land). Now that I'm in that piece of garbage Emmer's district I'm proud to be a catalyst to oust him. Go Doug! – at Blaine, MN

Friends: today is the last fundraising reporting deadline before Election Day. I know you have been generous with your time, effort and money, but if you can give one last time — we need you. We’re putting $25,000 into a final digital media push, targeting independents and other persuadable CD6 voters who are ready for better and looking for change. I won’t ask again here — can you help? secure.actblue.com/donate/Ch…

This is me! For decades I've battled weight & just above threshold of bad labs. Excuses. But this spring-diabetes. Something snapped. Told my Dr no meds. 4 mths later most improved to normal. Lost 37lbs. A1C to pre-diabetic levels. New lifestyle/no excuses. Still improving. – at Catalina Foothills, AZ
6 years of helping patients reverse metabolic disease has taught me something I didn’t fully appreciate in medical school: Knowing what works and actually doing it are two very different things. Here are 11 lessons from the patients who succeeded, those who struggled, and those who surprised me most. 🧵

At the mid-afternoon break, Trump asked Judge Merchan to read his big stack of articles from Tom Fitton, Jonathan Turley, Mark Levin & others that the case should be dismissed. The judge refused. Updated story on today … meidastouch.com/news/trump-t…

Something all of us can agree on! – at Blaine, MN
Bipartisan ticketing reform is moving forward. We thank @MarshaBlackburn, @SenatorLujan, @RepHarshbarger, and @RepTroyCarter for leading the MAIN Event Ticketing Act — and Sen. Luján for introducing the GHOST Act. Protect fans and indie stages. Release: nivassoc.org/statements/2026…

For years, Tom DeGeorge has fought for independent venues — not only in Tampa, but across the country. In 2020, Tom became a leading voice in our fight to save indie stages, helping organize venue owners, advocate for federal relief, and push for the historic #SaveOurStages Act.
