Eternal thanks to @BetoORourke for lighting the spark of hope, carrying it all this way, and passing the torch without pride. Always fighting for everyone; working hard and selflessly. Thank you so much brother

For election nerds, schools shouldn't be closed on Election Day, it should be the day after.

We’ve always been up against a rigged system. But we’ve always had each other. Let's show the world why you should always bet on the underdog.

You don’t get to pretend you weren’t all in on seeing MAGA takeover not even 2 years ago. You got what you wanted and what the rest of us knew would happen.
One aspect of MAGA I won’t miss is the elevation of broader MAGAverse figures like Paxton and Vivek over just nominating popular elected officials. It’s not even ideologically driven, but who can play Mar-a-Lago better.

.@KenPaxtonTX: Will you debate James Talarico?
JD Vance: If you ask Ken Paxton a simple question you will get a direct answer.

I don’t think you have a dog in this fight but if you did you would have shot it.
I’ll take @ellalangleymsic over Kacey Musgraves any day. And if I’m choosin’ Texas, I’ll take Ken Paxton over James Talarico.

Pathetic snowflake behavior, as a staffer who is supposed to be partisan, to send your ex-boss's texts to The New York Times weeks before a general election.
SCOOP: Inside the tumult of Mary Peltola's Senate campaign in Alaska and her time on Capitol Hill. Peltola is known publicly as kind and affable. But aides recall angry outbursts, slurs and a shove. (She also required staff to feed a pet chameleon.) nytimes.com/2026/09/23/us/po…

A category where >99% of the people were born with a vagina. And the other <1% are being used as bait to distract from the most financially corrupt regime in U.S. history

In other words, the war is over, we're stumbling toward some version of the JCPOA, America is out billions of dollars and lots of weapons that we didn't need to waste, and the United States is now weaker and Iran in a strategically stronger position. And for what?

If there is a state with greater scenic beauty than Oregon, I haven’t seen it. Mountains, high desert, Pacific, Hood, Columbia, Portland — it’s just spectacular. I don’t want to spoil anything for residents, but it’s a truly underrated state. I’m lucky to have married into it.

It's interesting that 2-time Dem presidents Clinton and Obama both left office with high approval ratings, and both could have won a third election, while Bush was roughly as popular as Ebola when he left and Trump's somehow going to be worse than that. makes you think
