Absolutely gobsmacked that Hakeen Jeffries does not include as priorities the very things voters JUST said were priorities: end Iran war, end tariffs, Medicare for All, Abolish ICE, release Epstein files, prosecute corrupt officials. He CANNOT be the new Speaker.
Hakeem Jeffries just laid out his first 100-day agenda at @MajorityDems:
• Expand Child Tax Credit
• Reverse Medicaid cuts + ACA subsidies
• Ban congressional stock trading
• Overturn Citizens United
• Statutory right to abortion
• Ban mid-decade gerrymandering

If you thought Republicans couldn't be any crappier, look at what they did today: Cut veteran's benefits ON VETERAN'S DAY.
It’s Veterans Day. And House Republicans just passed a bill to cut Veterans benefits by $57 billion, according to the VA’s own estimates.
This is how they’re thanking our heroes for their service.

"Are you out of your DAMN MIND? Pick another protein? I'd rather pick another Senator!". Congratulations to Senator-Elect Colom for your win as well for a great TV ad.

Wow, so it turns out that the 2026 blue tsunmai was a result of people who did not vote in 2024 voting Democratic, not Republicans voting Democratic.
Keep that in mind for 2028. Path to victory is getting people to turn out, not trying to go to the right to appease Republicans.

Damn, my deep well of crocodile tears has run dry since Tuesday. So I guess I'll just have to join in with the hysterical laughter. #FuckAround #FindOut

Basically what Susan Collins said today about the people of Maine voting her out after "all she's done for us"...
Hesgeth is a goner.
Either Trump/GOP blames him for the mid term loss and he's fired soon or he's impeached by either the current congress or the new congress.
Buh bye!
Fire up those chainsaws, Senator-Elect Jackson! You've got some big timber in the form of corruption, tariffs, inflation, pedophiles, and war to cut down.
Senator-elect @TroyJackson207: I'm so damn proud to be standing here with you all tonight. A little more than 100 days ago, I stood in front of our convention and asked you to put your faith in a logger from Allagash. I told you that we had a party to unite, a movement to build, and a senator to defeat. The people of Maine have elected that logger to the United States Senate.
As much fun as last night & today are, I can't wait till we get to the part where Mike Johnson has to hand the gavel over, we're in the "Whie Bronco" stage of Trump people trying to flee, & seeing Rubio's & Vance's careers nose dive faster than that Florida jet crash,

That it turns out that after 30 longs years of suffering through Susan Collins that her last day as a US Senator falls on my birthday is... chef's kiss... an amazing gift.

SUSAN COLLINS HAS BEEN DEFEATED! I have waited so long for this. Decades. This makes me so happy!

History made: Chris Pappas wins in New Hampshire and Democrats are sending the first openly gay man to the U.S Senate.
