🚨"The Ku Klux Klan used to call themselves the invisible empire, and they wore masks, and they used to raid immigrant communities—much like ICE is right now," -one of THOUSANDS of Minneapolis ICE protesters marching in -10 degrees as part of statewide generals strike. LIVE NOW⬇️
Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.
The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.
It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.
Textbook corporate greed.
As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.
Too little, too late.
Priorities.
@markhertling.bsky.social joined @nicollewallace.bsky.social to discuss his new article in @thebulwark.com for Veterans Day: "Who We Choose to Be: A Reflection on the Character of Veterans"
Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in DC.

This is the kind of investigation James Comer was made for…
This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.
The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

Virginia’s next Governor is Abigail Spanberger! She will bring people together and get things done for Virginia. Congratulations on your victory!
What we know, final edition of the night:
[Now in 3 parts]
—Prop 50 wins
—VA Dems flip Gov, LG, AG
—Dems gain leg seats in VA, NJ, & MS
—Dems defend NJ-Gov
—Dems win NJ+VA trifectas
—Mamdani wins
—PA Dems win state supreme court
—ME anti-mail voting measure loses
—GA Dems flip 2 statewide offices
I can’t believe they called prop 50 the moment polls closed. That tells you something. Most of these races were called within 45 minutes. It’s a BLOWOUT, y’all. THAT is what we call a MANDATE.
You guys…
🇺🇸 Congratulations to VoteVets-endorsed Stacey Carroll, a US Army Reserve Veteran, on her impressive victory in the Virginia House of Delegates District 64! VoteVets invested in her Red to Blue campaign with a $140,000 cable ad buy in her district.
Prop 50 passed! Sweeping win across the East Coast! Pop the champagne, baby. 🍾🥂
Let's do this over and over again until we take back our democracy! 🗳
New Jersey, it is the honor of my life to earn your trust to become this great state’s 57th Governor.
I promise to listen, lead with courage, and never forget who I serve.
WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.
Gen Z women aren't playing around.
The latest, 11pm:
—Prop 50 wins
—VA Dems flip Gov, LG, AG; & gain in House
—Dems win NJ-Gov

+ Dem are leading to flip so many local offices.
Word of the Day: SHELLACKING #Shellacking
Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.
AOC: We know that Donald Trump has not only been convicted of committing crimes, but that the supreme court has given him a blank check to continue to commit crimes while in office. So we cannot underestimate the threat and the danger of this moment. But we cannot respond to that with cowardice.
Bill Ackman gotta be on the third draft of a tweet longer than Middlemarch right now
